With the New Year approaching, for some reason you always want to do something with your own hands. This is probably left over from childhood. Another question is that there is not always enough time to be creative ... But this year we urge you to find a couple of hours in order to make wonderful New Year's bouquets for yourself and your loved ones. Such a stylish and beautiful gift may well replace a Christmas tree, which is especially important for small apartments. Do-it-yourself New Year's bouquet is not only easy, but also very exciting!
In this article:
What can be a New Year's bouquet?
In fact, only fantasy limits us, everything that you consider beautiful and appropriate can enter into a festive New Year's composition. But still, there are several main types:
And where can such a craft be placed? There are a lot of design options! The bouquet can resemble a classic floral and can be wrapped in craft paper, heavy canvas or paper with a holiday themed print. You can place the composition in a wicker basket or gift box, put compact bouquets in or in a beautiful mug.
A Christmas bouquet instead of a Christmas tree can be quite large, decorate it with Christmas decorations and a garland with small bulbs.
What is required to create a composition for the New Year?
When you decide on the components of the composition, and its placement, it's time to collect all the necessary components and auxiliary materials.
To preserve the craft with living branches for as long as possible, place them in a floral sponge, which can be found in specialized flower shops. Simply moisten the sponge with plenty of water. If you are using spruce or pine branches, you can soak a sponge in a solution of water, aspirin, and a drop of sugar (1 tablet per liter of water). This way they will last longer. Or put the bouquet in a vase (wine glass, mug, ...) with water or the solution described above.
Also for creativity you will need:
- Wooden skewers (tangerines are strung on them, cones and candies are glued);
- Glue gun / glue;
- Jute twine;
- Ribbons, bows, corrugated paper;
- Any decorative elements of your choice (artificial snow, sparkles, tinsel, garlands, etc.)

Remember the fairy tale "12 months"? Such a touching story ... On New Year's Eve, I so want to believe in fairy tales, and I want to give gifts the same magical, unforgettable, filled with warmth and tenderness. In this master class, we propose to make you your own "12 months" - a composition with sweets, which, with its tenderness and fragility, will certainly not leave anyone indifferent.
To make such a basket, you will need materials: medium and small-sized candies, corrugated paper (corrugation), hot glue, toothpicks, threads, "Aspidistra leaf" ribbon, polysilk, New Year's branches and beads, decorative ribbons to match the composition, basket, styrofoam, organza , basket filler.
For snowdrops, you need to choose small rounded sweets. It is desirable that the wrapper matches the overall color orientation of the composition (that is, it is better to choose a wrapper in green, white, silver colors). Hazelnuts or chocolate covered almonds are ideal for this. The candies must be attached with hot glue to the toothpicks by one of the tails. The loose tail must be attached to the candy with tape. (Photo 1)
From each rectangle we get 1 petal. To do this, we twist the paper in the middle by 180 degrees, then bend it along the twist line, superimposing the halves on top of each other. In the upper part, slightly squeeze the paper outward, giving the petals a convex shape. (Photo 3.4)
Petals of 3 with the help of threads are fastened around the base of the candy on a toothpick. (Photo 5)
Then we tap the stem of the flower and the receptacle with a strip of green corrugation, fix the free end of the paper on the stem with hot glue or tape. The snowdrops are ready. For a medium-sized basket, you will need about 11 of these colors. (Photo 6)
Now we start making other elements that make up the composition. We attach pine or spruce decorative twigs to toothpicks in the same way as candies. (Photo 7)
Cut thin strips in the form of leaves from a tape imitating a leaf of aspidistra. We also attach these leaves with tape to toothpicks. (Photo 8)
For additional decoration and filling the composition between the snowdrops, we will use larger round or bell-shaped sweets fixed on skewers. To give them a more decorative look, each candy is wrapped in a shiny film (polysilicon), the legs are taped with corrugation. (Photo 9)
To fill in empty spaces, make "funky" from organza squares glued in the center to wooden skewers. (Photo 10)
After preparing all the components of the composition, it's time to tackle the basket itself. We put a piece of foam plastic or a floristic oasis of a suitable size inside the braid. It is needed to fix all the elements inside the basket. To prevent the foam from showing through the side holes, wrap it with matching organza. (Photo 11)
Cover the top of the foam with any filler (paper, sisal fibers). (Photo 12)
We begin the assembly of the composition by distributing the pounds on the surface of the basket, fixing them in the foam. (Photo 13)
At the end of the work, we decorate the handle of the basket. To do this, we wrap the handle with a decorative tape along the entire length, so that the turns of the tape are located freely, forming a spiral. Fix the ends of the tape with a small drop of hot melt glue. Then, at an equal distance from each other, glue beads of silver color to the surface of the handle. (Photo 15)
For greater effectiveness, we additionally decorate the place where the handles are attached to the basket with New Year's accessories in the form of silver twigs and ribbon bows to match the overall color scheme of the composition. (Photo 16)
What kind of New Year can do without gifts. Indeed, everyone loves gifts. It is not difficult to please relatives today. After all, you probably know what they love. But if you still have difficulties with choosing a New Year's present, then sweet gifts may be a universal option. But giving a box or a bag of chocolates is considered a trivial affair. It's worth a little creativity here. A universal and original New Year's gift that will delight any person without any age restrictions! There are a great variety of options from all kinds of components, choose and create with us! We invite you to make sweet gifts for the New Year with your own hands.

Homemade sweet basket.
A beautiful basket for the New Year can please everyone. And if the recipient finds out that it was created with his own hands, then this will only please him. With our description you will make this basket very quickly.
From the foam, using a clerical knife, cut out a blank that looks like a cake.
Further - the base should be pasted over with beautiful corrugated paper or elegant fabric. Satin or floral wrapping material will do very, very well. We cut out the letters for the inscription Happy New Year from the material of a different color, and distribute them across the entire width on the frame.
Now, with an awl or a thick needle, we make holes in the foam and stick spruce branches there, the more the better.
Then we take the wire and wrap it with a colored ribbon of different shades, you can bend the wire figuratively. It remains to stick the wire into the foam base and stick sweets on it. The rest of the chocolates and candies can be simply glued from below.
We still have unadorned spruce branches. You can dress them up with cones, bows, balls. And we make a handle to the basket, for this we again wrap the wire with a beautiful cloth and stick it into the foam.
Homemade delicious bouquet.
Here we talk about how to make candy flowers for the New Year. Everyone will be happy to receive such a present. First, we need a rectangle cut out of cardboard, which we fold into a circle. Then from the cardboard we cut out a round part with the diameter of the previous part more tightly. Now you need to put the ring on a denser base and connect everything with pieces of paper.
We glue our box with elegant paper, put white cotton wool or synthetic winterizer on the bottom.
We put cones and candies there, which have already been prepared and wrapped in gilded paper, or in a translucent fabric, in general, beautifully packaged. If there is room left, then we fill it with New Year's toys or surprises. Finally, you can stick in synthetic spruce / pine branches.
Homemade sweet trees.
Candy bouquets for the New Year 2018 look great. Moreover, such a gift will not only delight the soul. It turns out to be edible. You can decorate the New Year's table with such a bouquet! For the base, you need a volumetric circle and a foam tube. We glue both parts with a green cloth and then stick the tube into the bottom, make sure that the structure is stable.
We make holes in the foam tube and stick spruce / pine branches into them. You should get a tree. Now we decorate it with light sweets and sweets, chocolates, toys and paper or fabric bows.
