Bouquets and compositions of sweets more and more often act as gifts, appendages to gifts and simply signs of attention that are presented to beloved girls, mothers, mother-in-law or colleagues.
Unlike a traditional and slightly banal box of chocolates, the original bouquet invariably attracts attention, creating a festive mood and causing delight. The interesting thing is that making candy compositions on March 8 or another holiday is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. In addition, each such gift is unique, even if the craftswoman performs it for the tenth time.

The main component will, of course, be sweets, as well as packaging materials and tools:
- Corrugated paper. Its color and quantity should be chosen in accordance with the type of flowers produced and the size of the bouquet.
- Wire, toothpicks or wooden skewers.
- Durable thread.
- Scissors.
- Ruler and pen for marking.
Sometimes additional items may be required:
- Styrofoam.

Compositions from sweets: a master class on making bells
A paper bouquet with a sweet filling does not have to consist of a large number of branches. Even one rose or a stalk with several bells will perfectly cope with the congratulatory task.
Such a handmade composition of sweets will require the presence of green and purple paper. Sweets are best to choose small, in yellow or white foil. If the color of the wrapper is too colorful, they can be wrapped with decorative paper.
Flower making
First of all, draw a pattern for the petals on thick cardboard. Compositions of sweets on March 8 should be neat, so you need to ensure that all the petals have the same shape.
Their size is 4x6 cm. For one flower, you need to cut four details.
At the next stage, at the top of each part, it will be necessary to form a sharp corner, as shown in the photo.
Next, collect the flower:
- We attach the candy to the wire with a thread or tape.
- We twist the petals one by one and wind them to the stalk.
How to make green leaflets
Any flower arrangements made of sweets come to life before your eyes and instantly blossom - you just need to add green leaves to them.
For the bell they will also need four pieces. First, a rectangle 4 cm long and 2 cm wide is cut out of green paper, and then it is given a sharp shape.
Finished leaves should be attached to the stalk in the same way as purple petals.
Assembling a sprig of three flowers
Similarly, two more flowers on stems of different sizes should be made.
For a change, they can be spread to a greater or lesser extent (blossoming flowers and buds). Of course, in each of them should be sweetie.
Compositions of sweets in the form of a bell on March 8 are a wonderful idea, because these flowers appear in the spring one of the first.
Having connected all three stems, they need to be firmly wrapped with green tape. For a picturesque effect, you can add a few leaves.
Alternatives
For those who want to see the recipe easier, there is the opportunity to create a bouquet of sweets in just half an hour.
Here you need paper of the same color, a piece of organza or the same paper, as well as decorative tape.
Each candy is attached to the core of a wooden skewer. Then you should cut four identical squares (approximately 6x6 cm), make a hole in their center with the sharp end of the stalk and move the paper to the candy.
When all the "flowers" are ready, they should be firmly fastened together with an elastic band, wrap the bouquet with decorative packaging and present to the hero of the occasion.
It is also easy to make a bouquet of these roses. They are cut in a spiral fashion.
Picturesque sunflowers
For such a composition of sweets on March 8, you will need a small basket with polystyrene at the bottom. Sweets should be wrapped with brown paper and a net to make them look like the middle of a sunflower.
In fact, the flowers are made on the same principle as the bells. The difference is that all the petals are a single strip, not individual elements. After the tape is cut, it should be wound on a skewer with a fixed candy and fixed with a thread.
Cuttings are wrapped in green tape or paper. The required number of sunflowers is placed in a basket, the sharp ends of the skewers are held tightly in the foam. To fill the free space, you can use small bundles of green paper, decorative tape or fabric.
Who does not risk, then do not drink champagne!
A wonderful and unusual composition of sweets, made on the basis of a bottle of alcohol with your own hands, will please most girls, as well as their husbands or boyfriends.
It is better to choose sweets in a gold wrapper to increase the similarity of a presentation with a pineapple. To design each of them, four identical squares should be cut from yellow or orange corrugated paper.
Then you need to glue the candy very firmly to the paper, and it, in turn, to the bottle. The best way is to use a glue gun. To keep silicone glue better on glass, it must first be wiped with alcohol or acetone.
Pineapple leaves are cut out of thick green paper, folded in half and smooth out the fold line. After that, they are attached to the neck of the bottle and fixed with twine or twine.
The described methods for composing candy compositions can serve as a detailed instruction or be an impetus for the development of other options.
