- - Styrofoam;
- - wooden skewers;
- - tapes;

Instructions
Step 1
Get some small stuffed animals. It can be cats, bears, bunnies. When using different toys in the same bouquet, pick them around the same size.
Step 2
Make the base for the bouquet. Cut a circle out of a piece of Styrofoam at least 10 cm thick to accommodate soft animals. Then use a knife to form a cone out of it. The wide part will be used for attaching toys, and in the narrow part, cut a hole in the diameter of the handle for the bouquet. Lubricate it with hot glue and insert the handle.
Step 3
If there is no suitable piece of foam on the farm, make a base of polyurethane foam. Blow a mound of foam from a can onto a piece of paper. Immediately stick the handle into it until the mass is frozen. Do not touch wet polyurethane foam with bare hands. When it hardens, cut off any excess with a knife.
Step 4
Use a hard cardboard base from a roll of cling film or foil as a handle for a soft bouquet. You can saw off a piece of the right size from a plastic pipe of the right diameter. If none of this is at hand, roll up a glossy magazine and wrap it in tape so that it does not unwind.
Step 5
Cover the base with cloth or colored paper. Secure it with a stapler or tape. Wrap a satin ribbon around the handle, smearing it with glue.
Step 6
Attach stuffed toys to wooden skewers with ribbons or plastic clips available from your hardware store. Hot glue the ribbon or clamp to the skewer, then secure the soft animal. If the bouquet is intended as a gift for an adult, the toys can be immediately glued to the skewers.
Step 7
Stick the prepared toys into the base for the bouquet. Experiment with their placement until you get the look you want. String large beads onto floral wire and stick it between the toys. Use artificial flowers and bows to fill the empty spaces.
Step 8
Wrap the entire bouquet in corrugated paper. When creating a soft bouquet, consider the color combination of all the elements included in it, so that the whole craft looks like a single whole.
