Such a gift will not fade and will delight the eye for a long time.

How to make a bouquet of roses from candies

What do you need

• Red corrugated paper;
• ruler;
• scissors;
• green corrugated paper;
• candies;
• wooden sticks;
• glue gun;
• threads;
• Scotch;
• wrapping paper;
• ribbon.

How to make a bouquet

Cut out two 6 × 6 cm squares from red paper. From green paper - a 7 × 6 cm rectangle and a 20 × 1 cm strip. This amount of paper parts is needed for one rose. Cut out as many blanks as you have in your bouquet.

Round off the red squares on one side around the edges so that they resemble petals.

On one narrow side of the green rectangle, cut out long pointed triangles (approximately to the middle of the workpiece).

Stretch out the entire section of the rectangle slightly and twist each strip into a flagellum. This will be the sepal.

Overlap the two red petals and stretch them slightly.

Place the candy inside the petals and wrap it to form a bud.

Glue it to a wooden stick.

For security, tie the base of the bud with a thread. Glue the edge of the sepal to this place.

Wrap the green piece around the base of the bud. Fix the edge with hot glue.

Glue a long green strip horizontally to the base of the bud and wrap the entire stick with it. Glue the edge of the paper to the wood.

Bend the tips of the petals outward slightly to reveal the bud. Twist the green stripes around it inward.

Make roses with the rest of the candies in the same way. Collect them and tape them together.

Cut a rectangle from the wrapping paper. Place the flowers on it in buds towards the corner and wrap them with paper. Tie the bouquet with a ribbon.

How to make a bouquet of tulips from candies

What do you need

• Wire;
• pliers;
• Styrofoam;
• knife;
• small pots (top diameter - 10 cm);
• green corrugated paper;
• scissors;
• glue gun;
• candies;
• purple corrugated paper;
• green organza;
• stapler;
• decorative tape of aspidistra;
• thin ribbons.

How to make a bouquet

Cut the wire: the length of each piece should be 10 cm. There should be as many pieces of wire as candies. Bend each workpiece from one edge with pliers so that you get loops.

From a thick piece of styrofoam, cut a circle to fit the planter. Cut a rectangle out of green paper, stretch it and glue it over the foam. Insert the piece into the planter.

Glue the wire into the candy wrapper. The detailed process is shown in the video below.

Cut out 7, 5 × 3 cm pieces from purple paper. Each candy will need six of these rectangles. Fold them together and trim both sides to resemble petals.

Stretch out each petal. Glue them one by one to the base of the candy, forming a bud. Make the rest of the flowers in the same way.

Cut out several squares from organza with sides of 11.5 cm. For each flower you need two pieces.

Take two squares, lay them on top of each other so that the corners look out. Fold them diagonally, grease the area above the fold with glue and glue the base of the bud. Do the same with the rest of the colors.

Place the tulips in the foam support in the planter.

Cut out a few more of the same squares from the organza. Lay two of them on top of each other so that the corners look out. Fold in half, fold one side to the middle, and lay the other side over it. Fix the corner with a stapler.

Make a few more of these leaves. Stick them on the inner edge of the planter.

Cut a square out of the decorative tape and cut it into two equal parts. Fold each in half lengthwise and round the tip.

Prepare a few more of the same leaves and paste over the flowers.

Decorate the planter with ribbon bows.

Instead of a pots, you can use a basket:

Or a paper bag like in this video. Looks like a real bouquet:

And here's how to make a regular bouquet of tulips with sweets:

How to make an original bouquet of sweets

What do you need

• Candies;
• glue gun;
• toothpicks;
• organza;
• scissors;
• thin tape;
• cardboard;
• ruler;
• cardboard tube;
• Styrofoam;
• knife;
• corrugated paper;
• lace;
• beads;
• decorations;
• wide tape.

How to make a bouquet

Glue the toothpick vertically to the bottom of the candy using hot glue.

Cut a small square out of the organza. Straighten the candy wrapper, fold the square in half and wrap the candy in it. Secure the tip with glue.

Twist the bottom of the organza around a toothpick under the candy and tie it with a piece of ribbon. Cut off the ends. Prepare the rest of the candies in the same way.

Cut a circle about 15 cm in diameter out of cardboard. Fold it in half, unfold it and fold it in half again, bringing the other sides together. Expand, cut the paper in one of the creases to the middle and cut a small corner.

Cut out the middle of the workpiece and make many small cuts around it.

Grease the side to the left of the cutout corner with glue and lay the other part over it. You will end up with a cone with a small hole at the top. Insert a cardboard tube there and secure with glue.

Cut out the shape shown in the photo and video below from the foam.

Cover it with corrugated paper on top. Cut the corners of the paper and glue them to the bottom.

Glue the bottom of the tube with a piece of corrugated paper too. Cover the inside of the cone with paper.

Measure out the required amount of crepe paper to wrap the entire workpiece. Glue the edges of the paper together, put it on the blank and tie it with a ribbon under the cone. Glue the paper to the outside of the cone and to the bottom of the tube. Cut off the ends of the tape and excess paper.

Glue the foam shape into the cone. Glue the folded organza to the edge of the cone. Pull the fabric under the cone and tie with tape.

Glue lace on top. Insert candy-filled toothpicks into the foam. After that, for reliability, take out one toothpick at a time, grease with glue and insert back.

Add beads and other decorations to the bouquet. Make a beautiful bow from a wide ribbon and glue it to the bouquet.

What other options are there

In this bouquet, the candies are glued to plastic balloon bases and attached to a floral frame:

And this bouquet is much simpler. Its highlight is the combination of colors and packaging:

How to make a bouquet of daisies from sweets

What do you need

• Orange corrugated paper;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• white corrugated paper;
• candies;
• glue gun;
• toothpicks;
• green non-woven;
• Styrofoam;
• knife;
• box;
• green corrugated paper;
• decorations;
• wide tape.

How to make a bouquet

And cut out a strip of 20.5 × 5 cm and a rectangle measuring 7.5 × 6 cm from orange paper. Cut a strip of 33 × 6.5 cm from white paper. So many details will be needed to decorate one candy. Calculate and cut out the required number of pieces for all the candies.

Fold the small rectangle in half across and round at one corner. Stretch this piece, wrap the candy around it and glue a toothpick underneath.

Fold the orange strip in half twice. Make many small cuts at one end.

Unfold the strip and slightly bend the cut edges with scissors. Glue the edge to the base of the candy and wrap the entire confection.

Fold the white strip of paper in half, too. On one side, make several cuts, not reaching the other edge about 2 cm. Cut the paper along the side folds too.

Round each of the cut strips so that they resemble chamomile petals.

Unfold the strip and glue the edge of the strip to the candy. Wrap it in one row first.

Then form the second row of petals by placing them between the petals of the first row. After that, add the third row by analogy with the second.

Spread the petals and glue the bottom of the bud with a piece of non-woven fabric folded obliquely.

Make the rest of the candy flowers in the same way. Cut a piece of polystyrene to the size of the box, glue it over with green paper and insert it inside.

The author of the master class also made the box on his own and explained in detail the creation process in a separate video:

Insert the chamomile into the styrofoam. Then take out each flower, grease a toothpick with hot glue and put it back in. So the flowers will be securely fixed.

Cut the leaves out of green paper and glue them and other decorations between the daisies. Decorate the box with a ribbon bow.

How to make candy sunflowers

What do you need

• Penoplex or polystyrene;
• knife;
• ruler;
• brown floral felt, organza, or crepe paper
• scissors;
• glue gun;
• cardboard tube;
• green corrugated paper;
• candies;
• brown polysilk - optional;
• threads - optional;
• yellow corrugated paper;
• wide ribbons.

How to make a bouquet

Cut out a circle with a diameter of about 12 cm from foam or polystyrene. Cut the workpiece slightly at an angle from the bottom.

Cut a piece larger than the prepared circle out of brown felt, organza or paper and glue it over. In the lower part of the circle with a knife make a hole for the edges of the tube, and then glue it inward. Glue the bottom of the tube with a small piece of green paper.

For a sunflower, you can pick up candies in a golden package. If there are none, wrap them in polysilicon. Cut out squares according to the number of candies, wrap each of them tightly, tie with thread and cut off the excess.

Cut a 19 × 7 cm rectangle out of yellow paper. Glue it over the bottom of the foam or polystyrene part, stretching the paper in the process.

Glue the candies on top. If necessary, fasten them together as well.

Cut several strips about 3 cm wide from the brown material and cut them into squares. Fold each of them obliquely in half twice and glue with a corner into the gaps between the candies, including along the edge.

Cut out strips of yellow and green paper 8 cm wide. Fold each with an accordion 2 cm wide. Cut the yellow one on the sides, stretch the middle and give the shape of a petal. On one side, make a sharper edge and twist it slightly.

Make a lot of yellow petals and glue them to the candy blank in three rows in a checkerboard pattern with the sharp ends up. Each row will take about 15 petals.

In the fourth and fifth rows, glue the petals so that they look the other way. Arrange them also in a checkerboard pattern.

Cut out the same leaves from the green accordion. Glue them in two layers, placing them in the same way as the yellow petals in the last two rows.

Cover the tube with green paper so that it slightly overlaps the leaves. Decorate the sunflower with a ribbon bow.
