Of course, the most important elements of the composition will be sweets. To create a chic bouquet, you need to choose candies that are not only very tasty, but also brightly and beautifully packaged.
It is also necessary to prepare corrugated or colored paper, lace, foil, satin ribbon, beads, beads, beautiful laces, ready-made figures and similar materials that will serve for an interesting design of the “flower” itself, or rather its petals and the composition as a whole.
There is no way to do without the material that will be used to create the bouquet packaging. A special mesh, suitable fabric or flower packaging sold in stores is suitable for this.
If you plan to make flowers on long stems, stock up on thin sticks, toothpicks, wire, etc.
To attach the “inflorescences”, foam rubber, polystyrene foam is used, and it is possible to use hardened polyurethane foam. To make the job easier, you will need a glue gun.
To fix the composite elements, tape is required. It is advisable to purchase several varieties of it: transparent, colored and paper.
If you plan to make a bouquet of paper and sweets in a vase, wicker basket, or flower pot, then be sure to prepare the desired container.
The list of the above materials is approximate; at your own discretion, by studying a variety of photos of bouquets of sweets, you can select for yourself the desired design elements and use them to build an exclusive composition. Bows, butterflies, birds, berries, fruits, etc. can be used for decoration.
The main tools you will need when creating a bouquet: regular scissors, paper glue, and pliers if you plan to use wire.
Creative process
Having prepared all the necessary materials and tools, you can begin to create. To begin with, we advise you to experiment: practice creating simple elements, individual inflorescences.
So, at the first stage, the candy is attached to the “stem”. Afterwards, you need to prepare and cut out petals of the required number and required shape from paper or fabric.
The method of attaching the petals and the design of the “flowers” themselves depends on your desires and preferences: let your imagination fly or look for good ideas in numerous photographs of candy bouquets.
After the candy flowers are made, proceed to forming the basis of the composition - arrange the flowers in a vase, basket, pot or wrapping paper, using the material chosen for fastening (foam rubber, foam, polystyrene).
To make the bouquet truly original and chic, provide additional decoration by decorating the finished composition with interesting elements: beads, ribbons, butterflies, tulle, figurines of berries and animals, perhaps even small soft toys.
A bouquet of sweets will be an excellent gift for any event. Having decided to create a composition with your own hands, choose the design you like as a sample, prepare all the necessary materials, be patient, put your soul into the creation process and you will definitely succeed!
