Elegant bouquet of poppies

Beauty can and should be created with your own hands. With the help of simple manipulations, ordinary sweets can easily be transformed into a luxurious bouquet of poppies.


To work you will need:

  • 7 truffle-shaped candies;
  • corrugated paper;
  • wide and narrow polypropylene tapes;
  • decorative mesh;
  • scissors and nippers;
  • floral wire;
  • wooden skewer;
  • tape;
  • decorative greenery;
  • lush bow.
Divide each piece of wire into 4 equal parts. Cut the thin ribbon into strips 25 cm long.


Cut out 7 rectangles from corrugated paper with sides approximately 18*12cm.


From each rectangle, cut out a trapezoid as in the photo.


Place the trapezoid on the rectangle and place the candy in the middle. Roll the paper into a tight roll.


Insert the wire into the roll from the side of the base of the candy without piercing it. Wrap the paper around the wire and secure with tape.


Tie a ribbon around the roll near the top of the candy.


Flatten the edges of the paper to form poppy petals.



Prepare 6 more flowers in the same way.


Attach the resulting poppies to a wooden skewer with tape. Add greenery in random order between the flowers.


Wrap the flower blank in net and tie a lush bow.

Simple tulip from Raffaello

A bouquet of tulips is a traditional gift for March 8th. However, their beauty quickly fades. To avoid disappointment, try making these elegant flowers from delicious candies.


To work you will need:

  • candies;
  • corrugated paper;
  • floral wire;
  • scissors;
  • double sided tape;
  • threads;
  • tape.
Bend the end of the wire into a loop so as not to accidentally damage the candy.


Wrap it with tape and attach the candy.


Cut the paper into strips approximately 3 cm wide.


Cut each strip into 3 parts. Cut a thinner hole in the middle of each strip; this will make the petals more realistic.


Twist the strip in the middle. And then fold it in half, stretching it a little in the middle. Make 2 more petals this way.



Wrap the finished petals around the candy, placing them on top of each other. Secure them with thread and trim the ends. Wrap the base of the bud with tape for a more secure fixation.


For leaves you will need 2 rectangles 10*3cm. Cut out leaves of the desired shape from them; you can use a cardboard template.


Start wrapping the wire with tape.


Attach the leaves opposite each other and secure them with tape.


It turns out to be a beautiful tulip.


Using the same principle, make the remaining flowers in the quantity you need.


Sweet tulips can be collected into an elegant bouquet and decorated with ribbons, paper, bows - the perfect sweet gift is ready.

Rosebud

The rose is deservedly called the queen of flowers. Her elegance and grace deserve to be embodied in a sweet masterpiece. From corrugated paper and round sweets you can assemble an elegant rosebud.

Such sophisticated flowers, collected in a beautiful candy bouquet, will be an excellent gift for an anniversary, wedding or for any occasion. The stages of making such a flower are presented in step-by-step photographs.

Candy bouquet with organza decoration

If you want to emphasize that you are giving a candy bouquet, and not a floral arrangement made of corrugated paper, choose the option with open candies. You can choose any sweets for it: toffees, lollipops, small chocolates. The main thing is that they are in beautiful wrappers, as this is part of the composition.


To work you will need:

  • Ferrero Rocher chocolates;
  • metallized and ordinary corrugated paper;
  • organza;
  • floral wire;
  • double sided tape;
  • thin golden ribbon.
From metallized paper, cut out small rectangles according to the number of candies. Wrap them around the candies, covering them halfway, and twist the excess paper at the bottom.


Make a loop at the tip of the wire, string the candy without piercing it, and secure with tape. Wrap the entire length of the wire with tape and then with paper tape.


Cut the organza into squares approximately 20*20 cm (depending on the size of the candies) and fold each in half. Wrap the resulting rectangles with the fold down and tie in the middle with a golden ribbon.


Now all that remains is to assemble the bouquet. Secure the stems with tape so that the composition holds its shape.


Wrap your masterpiece in corrugated paper, preferably chosen to match the organza.


You can show your imagination and add ribbons, a bow or beads to the bouquet. To do this, cut about 2 meters of organza, fold it 1/3 at the top and wrap the bouquet (as you would wrap a candy in small pieces of organza), tie it tightly. Organza is obtained in 2 turns. You can add beads by placing them on hot glue, making “clips”.

Pineapple from a bottle and Ferrero Rocher chocolates

A bottle of champagne and a box of chocolates are the perfect gift for any occasion. Do you think this is banal and boring? Do you want to surprise your friends or win someone's heart? Spend a little time, show your imagination - and the usual gift set will turn into a cute pineapple. Even an absolute beginner in decorating can handle such a culinary souvenir.


To work you will need:

  • drink bottle;
  • Ferrero Rocher or other round candies in a golden wrapper;
  • yellow sisal (palm fiber);
  • green aspidistra ribbon;
  • glue gun;
  • leg-split.


Glue a layer of sisal to the bottom of the bottle.

Glue the first row of candies to it tightly to each other.


Glue the second row of sisal and candy, positioning them offset from the first row.


Continue gluing the bottle according to this pattern up to the neck. The last one should be sisal.


Cut pineapple leaves from aspirin tape.


To do this, take 3 strips of length 10 cm and 15 cm.


Fold each strip in half twice.


Cut off the corners at the top to imitate a leaf.


These are the gear blanks you get.


Tear them into separate leaves.


Glue 3 rows of small leaves to the top of the bottle, then 3 rows of large ones.


Wrap the bottom of the leaves with a rope, going down to the sisal layer, and secure with glue.


If you are unable to find aspirid, make leaves made of crepe paper or felt.


Such a sweet handmade pineapple is not a shame to present for any holiday.

  • toothpicks;
  • glue gun;
  • double sided tape;
  • stationery and manicure scissors;

Glue the strip to the base.


On each turn of paper one by one (on each layer), make transverse cuts.


Using nail scissors, cut out the sunflower petals.


Use double-sided tape to secure the tails of the candies so that they do not stick out. Glue the prepared candies to the base.

Sweet design. Bouquet of tulips made from sweets. Step-by-step instructions with photos

Basket of sweet tulips. Master class with step-by-step photos


Tsvetkova Maria Aleksandrovna, teacher, MDOU combined type kindergarten No. 193, Yaroslavl
Description: The master class is intended for children from 5 years old (under the guidance of an adult), additional education teachers, educators, parents and simply creative people who like to experiment.
Purpose: interior decoration, gift.
Target: making crafts (gifts) with your own hands.
Tasks:
1. Create a desire to make a beautiful thing with your own hands;
2.Develop fine motor skills of the hands;
3.Develop creativity, imagination, fantasy;
4.Develop compositional skills and aesthetic feelings;
5. Cultivate a desire to do something nice for family and friends.

It's finally spring! My favorite season. In addition to joy, this time brings me many worries. It so happened that most of my friends and acquaintances have a birthday in the spring, and March 8th is coming soon. We women also love to congratulate each other. This year, March 2 is my mother’s anniversary (55 years old). I was all exhausted while I was thinking about what to give to her, and to everyone I knew. Tired of the standard set - flowers, sweets. What if we combine them? Bouquets of flowers are now at the height of fashion. They even came up with a name for this technique - “Sweet design”. Sweet design (from the English sweet - sweet, sweets) is the creation of compositions from confectionery products, in particular from candies. I decided, why not try?! After all, a gift made with your own hands is much better than a “store-bought” one. And if children are involved in the production, then this is already a “family conspiracy.” This kind of work always brings you together and is a lot of fun. I started with a simple bouquet (a colleague at work taught me).


Then I decided to make an arrangement in a basket, and now I’ve made bouquets for all my friends. But still, the more colors, the more interesting the composition looks. It is better to take 35 or more colors. It will be more effective.

You can say “thank you” in any way,
And it’s not at all difficult,
But in order to adequately thank,
It’s better to give the most delicious candies!
*****
You love sweet dreams
Give and receive flowers.
I decided to do one
Although not a cherished one, it’s still a dream.
I'm hurrying to you with a box of chocolates,
I am holding a festive bouquet in my hands.
And I wish today and always -
Let your dreams come true, at least sometimes!
Materials and tools required for work:
- candies (I have 55 of them)
- corrugated paper (white, yellow, green)
- basket
- floristic oasis (for dried flowers)
- scissors
- PVA glue
- threads
- sisal (“Mexican” or “silk” grass: bast fiber obtained from the leaves of agave and some other types of Central American plants; used for making ropes and coarse fabrics)
- wooden skewers for shish kebab
- you can take a decorative mesh, ribbons to decorate the basket (optional)


I’d like to note right away that you should take candies only in the shape that I have in the photo (cone).

Step-by-step process for completing the work:

First, let's prepare the paper. White and yellow paper should be cut into strips measuring about 3 by 13 cm or 4 by 14 cm. These will be the petals of our tulips. Green paper - into thin long strips 1 cm wide. This is for the stems. Just important: we cut the white and yellow paper along the corrugation, and the green paper across (so that it can be stretched).


You need a lot of stripes. Each flower will have three petals. I have 55 colors (27 yellow and 28 white), that is, 81 stripes of yellow and 84 stripes of white.


Next, take the candy and insert a skewer into it. We twist the wrapper around the skewer, wind the thread, and fix it. I tried without thread, but it holds on tighter.


So, I'll repeat it. For one tulip flower we will need: candy on a skewer, three strips of white or yellow corrugated paper, thread, a strip of green paper, glue.


We take yellow stripes and twist each of them in the middle. It turns out to be a “bow”.


Then we fold these “bows” in half and stretch them a little in width (the corrugation stretches perfectly).


Now you need to attach each of the petals to the candy. And wrap it all together with thread.




The result is a bud like this.


Then we wrap a green stripe around the entire skewer, starting from the bud. The paper stretches well, since we cut the corrugation across.



At the end, we cut off the excess paper and fix it with glue.


The result is a yellow tulip. We also make white.


It took me about 4 hours to make 55 tulips. But time passed unnoticed while watching interesting films. If you work as a family, you will get through it even faster. Even a preschool child can handle twisting petals into a bow or putting candy on a skewer.


As soon as all the tulips are ready, we begin to design the composition. We put a floral oasis in the basket. You can buy it in the "everything for creativity" department. It is important to know that there are two types of oases: for fresh and dried flowers. Of course, you can use any, but if you have a choice, take oasis for dried flowers, it crumbles less.


Then we lay down the sisal. You can use sisal in a roll, decorative mesh, burlap, even wrapping paper. What do you want. The main thing is to close the oasis. I chose a bunch of green sisal (grass type).


We begin to insert one tulip at a time, alternating white with yellow.

Everyone admires the simplicity, beautiful shades of the petals and the tenderness of the tulip. But these qualities are combined with the weakness of the bud, which begins to fall off already on the 3rd day. Therefore, people try to recreate the beauty of nature through handicrafts. A spring flower is drawn and cross-stitched; in addition, there are many techniques for making paper flowers, each of which is interesting in its own way.

Tulips made of corrugated paper with sweets inside are suitable as a gift for a loved one. Delicate petals with a spoon frame will decorate your home for many months. Crafts made from colored sheets will interest children. Accessible materials and clear instructions will help children and adults get excellent results.

Step-by-step making of tulips from corrugated paper with candies with your own hands

One of the most popular creative gifts consists of corrugation and candies. It has the appearance of flowers with sweetness instead of the middle. Such a bouquet will not only be beautiful, but also delicious. Anyone can do it.

Thanks to the detailed description and large number of photos, the following instructions are suitable even for novice crafters.

First you need to prepare the materials:


  • green and red corrugated paper;
  • scotch;
  • hot glue gun;
  • wooden skewers;
  • round candies;
  • stationery scissors;
  • ruler;
  • optional: mesh and ribbon for decoration.

Forming a flower consists of several steps:

  1. Attach the candies to the sticks with tape.
  2. Cut out 3 red rectangles with sides 6 and 17 cm.
  3. Bend them in half so that one edge protrudes 1 cm.
  4. At the fold, twist the strips and slightly stretch their edges.
  5. Wrap paper measuring 4x15 cm around the candy.
  6. Secure the base with tape and twist the other edge like a candy wrapper.
  7. Attach the prepared petals to the skewer.
  8. Make strips of 3x20 cm from green material.
  9. Twist them in the middle and bend them in half.
  10. Prepare 2 leaves for each bud.
  11. Make a thin strip 1.5 cm thick along the entire length of the green roll.
  12. Using hot glue or double-sided tape, secure the ribbon under the petals.
  13. Wrap it around the entire stem.
  14. Glue the leaves in different places using a glue gun.
  15. Make the required number of flowers. A composition of 5-7 tulips looks beautiful.
  16. Wrap the bouquet with netting and attach a bow. You can use other decor.

The color of the bouquet depends on the age of the recipient. For girls it is worth preparing a present in soft colors; for older women you can use burgundy and bright red paper.

Tulips made from spoons and corrugated paper without candies step by step

Corrugated paper has many advantages. It can be bought for a small price at any office supply store. Thanks to the uneven surface and flexibility of the material, the petals are very realistic.


A wide palette of shades will allow everyone to choose a color scheme to suit their taste.

True, it is quite thin, so in order for the petals to keep their shape for a long time, it is worth placing a plastic spoon inside. This method is useful for creating home decor or sending a gift by mail.

You will need the following items:


  • crumpled paper for leaves and petals: green can be combined with pink, red, white, yellow or purple;
  • disposable plastic tablespoons with a calculation of 5 pcs. for one flower;
  • stationery scissors;
  • ruler;
  • tape 1-1.5 cm wide.

You can make a bouquet this way:


This method of forming a tulip from crepe paper is simpler than the first. Therefore, it is suitable for needlework with children.

Variant of corrugated paper tulips with velvet petals

The following method will help you produce the most exquisite and delicate tulips. Their thin petals and wavy edge exactly replicate the unusual curly variety. Black stamens on a yellow base will add realism. At the same time, making this copy of a living plant is not at all difficult.


Despite some small details, even a 10-year-old child can handle the job.

First you need to collect some materials:

  • crepe paper in green, purple, yellow and black;
  • tape;
  • hot glue;
  • solid wire or wooden skewers;
  • scissors;
  • white sheet for printer.

Now you can start the process:

  1. Use a printer to print the picture and cut out parts of it along the contour. You can draw the shapes by hand.
  2. Using templates, cut out elements from corrugation. For one tulip you need: 6 purple petals, 1 yellow center, 2 green paper leaves and black fringe.
  3. Place the center on a skewer and secure it with glue. Wrap the protruding end of the stick with a black piece.
  4. Stretch the wide edge of the petals until waves form, and curl the narrow edge, as in the photo.
  5. Glue these parts to the stem one at a time.
  6. Using tape, decorate the skewer and attach the leaves.

In one bouquet you can combine buds of different colors and shades.

Simple tulips made from colored paper for beginners

Corrugated paper is not the only material from which you can create a spring flower. Regular multi-colored A4 sheets are also suitable for this. It is better to choose a dense material that has color on both sides.

Made from colored paper in a pot

Such a craft can become a full-fledged gift from a child to his grandmother or mother.


You don’t need to spend a lot of time making it, since even one bud will be enough.

Materials: paper of different colors, skewers, scissors, glue, pencil, ruler.

Action plan:

  1. Using the picture with instructions, fold the brown pot.
  2. Place a skewer into the long green strip and glue the edges together.
  3. Cut out three petals from red material.
  4. Attach two of them to the third, as in the photo.
  5. Using glue, connect the bud and stem.
  6. Add leaves to the flower and place it in the prepared pot.

The craft should be supplemented with a cute inscription on a colored rectangle.

Origami technique

The Japanese paper folding technique allows you to get not only an airplane or a crane, but also a tulip.


This method differs from all previous ones in that the product can be assembled without using glue.

Materials: colored printer paper, scissors.

Instructions for origami:

  1. Fold the A4 sheet to form a triangle. Remove the free edge.
  2. Unfold the square and bend it along the other diagonal.
  3. Fold in half, creating folds as in the photo.
  4. Fold the sides inward to create a triangle.
  5. Fold the corners of the figure towards the center.
  6. Repeat this step on the other side.
  7. Place one part of origami inside the second, as in the photo.
  8. Turn the workpiece and do the same.
  9. Take the bud by the junction of the corners.
  10. Inflate a flower through the hole.
  11. Unfold the petals at the top of the craft.
  12. Fold a long paper ribbon several times and insert it inside.

Tall tulips will look great in a vase.

Volumetric tulips

Simply gluing red paper onto a cardboard base is too banal. A postcard with three-dimensional details will be more unusual.


This technique will not be too difficult even for a small child and will interest him in its originality.

Materials: cardboard sheet, multi-colored paper, glue, white template sheet, pencil, scissors.

This method looks like this:

  1. Draw template images on dense material.

  2. Transfer the shapes to colored sheets and cut them out.
  3. Bend each element of the bud in the middle.
  4. Glue the halves of the two parts together, then apply the next part. A total of 6 petals are needed.
  5. Attach the finished flowers, stems and leaves to a cardboard base. Bend the ends of the leaves.

You need to be careful with the glue so that the work looks neat.

A handmade craft will bring a spring mood to your home. It will also come in handy as a gift for mom or grandma on Mother's Day. In this case, a gift made by children’s hands will be especially valuable. An adult can only finish the design of the work or decorate it with details.


Delicate tulips made of corrugated paper with candies are suitable for a bouquet for any occasion and for a lady of any age.

This master class shows in detail how to make one flower. Determine the number yourself, but it is better to do at least five so that the composition looks more solid and elegant. If you think about different finishing frames, you will get several completely different gifts. Step-by-step photos are designed for beginners, get started without delay.

Materials and tools

It is advisable to choose candies that are round and not very large. This master class uses “Martian Woman”. It tastes better if you take different types to taste.

Also prepare:

  • green and pink corrugated paper;
  • glue gun;
  • kebab sticks;
  • scissors;
  • threads LL 40;
  • ruler.

It is better to use corrugated paper for tulips made in Italy. The Chinese one has a larger corrugation and the flowers are not entirely realistic. But here’s what you can find for sale in an affordable craft store.

Step-by-step technique for making a tulip with candy

For the center of the tulip, cut a piece of pink corrugated paper 6 cm long and 8 cm high.

For the leaves, make green rectangles 3x10 cm.

From the green rectangles, cut out two leaves for one tulip.

On a pink piece of 6x8 cm at the top, cut three large cloves about a third of the height and stretch them in the middle with your fingers so that the candy fits inside.

Tuck both tails of the candy towards the middle and use a small piece of double-sided tape to secure them in this position.

Insert the candy into the middle of the piece and wrap it tightly. At the bottom, twist the resulting bud with threads, making several turns. Tighten the thread and cut it.

For the second row, cut three petals from an 8x8cm piece with a slightly pointed shape at the top.

Give the petals a convex shape, stretching them in the middle. At the top, also stretch the corrugated paper a little so that the edge of the tulip petals becomes wavy.

Add the prepared three petals to the bud with the candy and secure at the bottom with threads. Arrange the petals overlapping in a circle.

Glue the kebab stick into the middle of the ponytail using hot glue, press firmly and let the glue dry. Trim off the excess at the base of the flower. Now the tulip has a stem.

Wrap the stem with a green strip 1 cm wide and 10-12 cm long. Apply hot glue to the tip of the strip, attach it to the base of the flower and, pulling slightly, wrap the stem from top to bottom, periodically dripping glue onto the stick.

Glue two prepared leaves between the turns of the green strip.

All that remains is to make the required number of flowers and collect bright pink tulips from corrugated paper into a beautiful sweet bouquet of candies.

And for a serious occasion it’s suitable.

An absolutely universal gift that will suit everyone! Materials for its manufacture are available in most flower shops. The technique couldn't be easier! Candy tulips are a surprisingly simple and at the same time very useful master class. If you need to make a quick and beautiful gift, but you don’t know anything about the person, then a bouquet of sweets is ideal. Bright, elegant, colorful flowers will give you a good mood for the whole day. Why tulips? And what other flower reminds of the warmth of spring and the coming summer, if not the tulip? Several candy tulips will be a wonderful table decoration and a delicious treat for tea. So, we read the master class and take it into service.

Level of difficulty: easy
Production time: 1 hour for a bouquet of 5 flowers.

Basic materials

1. Floral corrugated paper for petals and leaves (thin stationery corrugated paper will not work, it will not hold the shape of the flower) - white, red, pink, yellow flowers look great; For the leaves, take the most saturated green color possible.
2. Green wax-based tape - we try, if possible, to match the color of the green corrugation: either grassy green, or slightly aqua (like the tulips in the photo).
3. Kebab skewers
4. Very tasty candies: it is desirable that they be in the form of truffles, so it will be convenient to work with them (I buy “Autumn Waltz”, “Babaevsky” truffles, or just take a box of “Korkunov” chocolates - it’s tasty and very suitable in shape, the main thing is so that they are fresh).
5. Floral transparent packaging film - preferably with a small pattern, such as snow or small hearts.
6. Ribbon for wrapping a bouquet of sweets (tulips look perfect with gold, white or green ribbons).

Additionally you will need:
1. heat gun with a transparent rod (one rod will be enough),
2. threads (preferably metallic, if not, then you can take just white ones).

Execution steps

The master class consists of 3 stages - preparing paper for the petals, making the petal and rolling the flower.

Step 1. Unfold a roll of floral corrugated paper chosen for the petals and cut a strip 3-4 cm wide (along the entire height of the roll). This strip will be enough for exactly one flower, which will consist of three petals.
Attention! Floral corrugated paper should be stored in a dark place and during work, and especially when storing the finished bouquet, make sure that it is not exposed to sunlight for a long time. Under their influence, it literally loses color in a few hours.
Step 2. Cut the strip into 3 equal parts. Take one and twist it clockwise close to the middle (as in the photo). We fold both parts towards each other and stretch the paper inside, forming a petal. It is better to trim the edges of the petal at the bottom to make them thinner. We make 3 petals.

Advice. It is better not to twist exactly in the middle, since then the base of the petal will be too thick and it will be inconvenient to screw it to the stem.

Step 3. Take green corrugated paper and cut a strip to the full height of the roll, only 1-2 cm wide, no more. We cut it in half and get blanks for two leaves. We twist each piece in the middle and fold it. By stretching the inner part, we form a leaf. Trim the edges.
Step 4. Now our task is to secure the candy on the skewer, after which it can be wrapped in petals. If the candy has its own “tail,” then simply wrap it around a skewer and secure it by wrapping the tail with transparent tape or tape.
If there is no tail, then you need to make one. To do this, cut a square approximately 15x15 cm (depending on the size of the candy) and wrap the candy in it. Insert a skewer, wrap the tail around it and tie it.

Note. In addition to adhesive tape or tape, you can use thread for wrapping.
Step 5. Glue the petals to the skewer with candy using a heat gun.
Step 6. Wrap tape around the base of the flower, covering any traces of glue and uneven edges of the petals. We continue to wrap the skewer with tape, going down about another 5-7 cm.
Step 7. Screw on the first leaf in the same way using tape. We go down a little lower and screw on the second one.
Step 8. Wrap the remaining tip of the skewer, tear off the tape and carefully press the rest of the tape onto the stem. The flower is ready!

Now you know how to make tulips from candies, all that remains is to twist enough flowers and assemble them into a bouquet, wrapping the tulips in packaging film.

How to plant tulips in a basket?

The master class is completed, on average, in one hour of free time. But, if you have a little more time, then the master class can be expanded and tulips can be collected not just in a bouquet in film, but “planted” in a basket. You will need the following materials:
- toothpicks,
- polystyrene foam or (better) polyurethane foam (insulation of walls, balconies) 5 cm thick, no thinner,
— beautiful film of two types (it’s better to take one transparent, the other not).
1. We break the kebab skewer in half and attach a tulip with candy to each half. We don’t screw the leaves in, they won’t be needed.
2. Instead of leaves, we make pound cakes from packaging film or paper: we cut squares from 2 types of film with a side of approximately 15 cm. We fold it 4 times and attach the center to a regular toothpick using hot glue or tape, whichever is more convenient for you. As a lazy person, I glue everything with a hot-melt gun. Moreover, you need to make so many pounds, the more, the better, as long as you have enough patience. And then relax and do more.

3. Cut a small piece of polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam and either insert it into a suitable pot/basket/vase, or (if there is nothing), then leave it as is. After planting the flowers, you can easily and simply wrap it in corrugated paper or fabric (it will turn out no worse than in a basket, I checked).
4. Evenly stick the skewers with tulips into the foam. After this, we fill all the free space with pounds, sticking toothpicks into the foam. The main task is to ensure that the base does not become visible at all, and that the tulips grow right among the tulips.
5. We bring complete beauty, diluting this entire composition with a wide variety of decor - glue rhinestones to some petals, fasten ribbons, plant a couple of butterflies, if you have them, in general, decorate with taste. The master class has come to an end. Here are how elegant our flower baskets turned out, with tulips peeking out beautifully from the floral decor.

Here is another interesting idea for assembling a bouquet:

Candy bouquets look elegant on any table. They can be made not only as a gift, but also as decoration for any occasion. This is better and much more impressive than just giving candy in a box. Such a gift surprises and always pleases. Such a simple master class can be easily repeated at any time, with a minimum of time and a minimum of materials in stock. If you have figured out how tulips are made from candies and want to get closer to candy floristry, then, in addition to tulips, using flower corrugations, skewers and tape, you can make any flower - roses from candies, bells and cornflowers, peonies and chrysanthemums, lilies and daisies. There are no restrictions in candy floristry except your own imagination. Bright pineapples, shiny cherries, beautiful strawberries, other fruits and berries, and even trees (for example, a Christmas tree or a round topiary), also made of candies, can become a magnificent decoration for a feast. However, it seems that this will no longer be floristry.
