What is needed to craft sweet charm
Decorate your home with cherry blossoms. You can make several of them, put them in vases and turn the house into a blooming garden. For this craft, nothing supernatural is needed - all materials are more than available. The branch will turn out to be edible, you will have to look so that someone does not take a candy or two from it and eat it. Although, you can sweetly present such a delicious beauty as a gift. A person will surely appreciate an original and charming present.
Here's what you need to stock up on:
- round candies "Hazelnut in chocolate";
- pink and green corrugated paper;
- copper wire;
- scotch tape and tape;
- polysilk;
- thin wire and beads to match it.
How to make flowers
Take a few pieces of copper wire. One of them is the largest. The rest are smaller. When you put them together, you get the base of the branch. Therefore, cut into pieces so that the branch is voluminous.
Now put the pieces of wire together, secure at the base with tape. Bend the wire above the anchor point to make it look like a branch.
It's time to put on the sweets in smart clothes. Their role will be performed by polysilk. This is a thin colored film used to wrap gifts. It looks a bit like foil. Put the candy on the corner of the polysilka, completely wrap the sweet round with it. Measure and cut this out into a square-shaped piece of brown paper. Make wrappers for other candies using this measurement. The ends of the wrapping paper hang down slightly. This will help the further fastening of the flower.
Wrap each one in your clothes, put the corners of the square together and twist so that the foil does not unwind. Cut 5-7 pieces of fine wire. Their length is equal to two diameters of the candy. String a bead on top of each.
How to checkout a branch
Cut 5 petals 3 cm long from corrugated paper. They are oval in shape. Rounded at one end, pointed at the other.
Cut a rectangle of 5 and 2 cm sides out of green paper. Place it horizontally in front of you. Use small scissors to zig-zag the larger side. This is a sepal blank.
You can start creating a flower from candy and paper. Take one candy, surround it on all sides with pieces of wire, each with beads at the top. These are stamens. On the other hand, use a thin wire to attach 5 pink petals. Their pointed edge is at the bottom. Attach a cut-out strip of green paper to this edge with the pointed ends facing up. Twist the back of the flower with wire. Leave enough length to attach the flower to the branch. Do all the other flowers in the same way.
Wrap the main thick wire-branch with brown type tape. Cut 5 leaves 5 cm long from green paper. Using the same tape, attach them to the branch. Fix flowers at the ends of the branches. The cherry blossom branch of candy is ready.
