That's right, candy is also a safe bet. Let's combine two perfect gifts for March 8th and give a bouquet of candies with our own hands! And to make it easy and simple even for beginners, in this article you will find a master class with a step-by-step description of how to make a bouquet of sweets. Our bouquet will consist of tulips and irises. And how to make tulips and irises from corrugated paper, we will tell you below.
How to make a bouquet of sweets master class
We need corrugated paper in blue and yellow,
Sweets "Martian" - for each flower in a bouquet one candy
Basket and styrofoam
We will also prepare a ruler, threads, tape tape, scissors, double-sided tape, nippers, 0.9 mm wire
To decorate the baskets, you need ribbons, butterflies, decorative flowers, leaves
Decorate the basket with a ribbon or tea bags around the perimeter.
Making corrugated paper irises
In order to make an iris flower from corrugated paper, we need a wire. We measure out 10 centimeters.
For better fixation of the flower made of corrugated paper, wrap the end of the wire with double-sided tape.
We attach the candy to the wire by the "tail", wrap it with thread
Cut out three rectangles of 2.5 cm by 7.5 cm from blue paper - these are the future iris petals.
Cut out the flower petals from corrugated paper.
Twist the paper flower petals with scissors.
We attach the petals of the iris flower to the stem with threads.
Cut out the petals again.
We pull out the edge and middle of each petal for a bouquet of candies with our own hands.
We tie three large petals to the flower, forming an iris flower.
Wrap the paper flower leg with tape.
Our first iris for a bouquet of sweets is ready!
Corrugated paper tulip
Now let's make a tulip with our own hands for a bouquet of sweets.
In order to make a tulip from corrugated paper, we cut out a rectangle measuring 6 cm by 7.5 cm, and for the second layer three rectangles 3 cm by 7.5 cm.
By analogy with iris, cut out the petals. For this, fold a large rectangle along the corrugation line for no three equal parts and cut it out as shown in the photo.
Draw out the middle of each tulip petal out of paper.
We tie it to the stalk with the candy. We learned how to make a stem with candy above using the iris as an example.
For the second layer of tulip petals, cut out three petals in the shape shown below.
Pull the middle of each tulip petal out of paper.
We wind the petals with threads in a checkerboard pattern relative to the first row, wrap the corrugated paper tulip stem with tape.

Sweets and flowers are a nice gift, which, however, can cost a lot of financial investments.
If you want to surprise a loved one and save your budget, you can make beautiful flowers with sweets with your own hands.
Before starting work, you need to decide on the type of bouquet, the choice of flowers, materials and treats.
Rafaello - a simple and sophisticated paper bouquet with do-it-yourself sweets for beginner "florists"
To make such a bouquet, you must have with you:
1. packaging of Rafaello sweets;
2. corrugated paper;
4. scissors;
6. Styrofoam (or other similar material for the frame of the bouquet);
7. thick paper / cardboard;
9.transparent film;
10. satin ribbon;
First, we create a frame - the basis of our bouquet. We cut out a dome-shaped figure from foam plastic - our delicious flowers will be attached to it.
We attach the frame to the handle of the bouquet. You can do two things:
Straight handle (as pictured). To do this, we make a tube out of cardboard, decorate with ribbons, corrugated paper, rhinestones - to your taste;
Triangular handle - in this case we roll up a "bag" from cardboard and attach it to the base of the bouquet.
The next step - you need to make a ring out of cardboard - cut out a circle with a hole in the middle. We decorate with improvised materials - corrugated paper (or wrapping paper), satin ribbons, rhinestones and beads look most impressive. An unusual option is to make a heart-shaped base.
We put the resulting material on top of the frame, fasten it with tape / glue.
We pack each candy (in addition to the factory wrapper) separately in a transparent film, tie it with a satin ribbon, decorate (to taste). Then we "put" on a toothpick or lance.
If you have the desire and time, you can make a base of corrugated paper and attach it to the base of the flower.
We attach the resulting "sweets" to the frame, decorate, correct the shortcomings (if any). An exquisite and delicious handmade gift is ready!
Pineapple - an unusual version of "delicious" paper flowers with do-it-yourself sweets
Another original way to present a handmade gift is to make a paper flower bouquet with pineapple-shaped chocolates!
The principle of its manufacture resembles the previous version, the main difference is only in the shape of the frame.
Materials for work:
1. 1-2 packs of sweets (for example, "Rafaello");
2. corrugated or wrapping paper;
3. double-sided tape;
4. scissors;
6. Styrofoam;
7. Whatman / cardboard;
8. toothpicks (or "lances" for canapes);
9.transparent film;
10. satin ribbon;
The frame will be based on an egg-shaped shape cut out of polystyrene foam.
Do you want to make a surprise surprise? Instead of a base, use not styrofoam, but a small vase of a similar shape, which can also be filled with candy inside. The gift will turn out to be much more weighty, more interesting and tastier!
The second most popular way of presenting this bouquet is based on a bottle of champagne (or wine). An important condition for making such a gift is the curved ("pot-bellied") shape of the vessel.
After you have finished with the frame, you need to attach candy to it. For this we use double-sided tape. We glue several chocolates on one row, considering that they should be located along - glue them along the "red line". We wrap our base with the resulting "ribbon".
It remains only to decorate (optional) the resulting "fruit" and give a loved one a great mood!
Sweet roses - a bouquet of the noblest color with do-it-yourself sweets
For those who already have experience in making handmade bouquets of flowers and chocolates, the option with roses will seem the most interesting.
In order to make such a gift, you must use the following materials:
1. round shaped candies;
2. corrugated paper of green and pink (or other, of your choice) colors;
3. double-sided tape;
4. scissors;
6. toothpicks (or "lances" for canapes);
7. satin ribbon;
8.small basket;
Cut out the base for the rosebud from corrugated paper - two rectangles measuring 8 x 7cm. We round off one end to form a "marigold" shape. Using your thumbs, stretch it from the center to the bases to give it a natural look.
Let's move on to making rose petals. Depending on your preference, you can make the flower lush or slightly open. When creating a classic rose, you need to prepare 8 pieces of corrugated paper for the petals. Their size should be 1.5-2 cm smaller than that of the bud.
We wrap each petal with a toothpick from one edge, stretch it in the center to shape it and, using glue, attach it to the base of the bud. To make the rose look neat, apply the glues in a thin layer to the non-rounded edges of the petals. They should be attached to the bud in two rows. The first row - 3 pieces, the second - 5 pieces.
The result should be such a pretty rose..
The next step is making rose leaves. To make it look as natural as possible, we recommend using green corrugated paper. Cut out small rectangles from paper - 2-2.5 cm, make veins to make it look like a "crown" or "fence". We attach the resulting figures to the base of the roses with the help of threads. Do not use tape at this stage - it will be visible to the naked eye and will significantly enlarge the base of the flower.
It remains only to beautifully put the resulting roses in the basket, decorating it with decor. Corrugated paper can be placed in the base of the basket, leaving the edges free.
The bouquet is waiting for its lucky owner!
