To please your relatives with an unusually stylish and at the same time tasty gift, you do not need so much: just create a candy bouquet with your own hands.
Mastery Basics
Most often, do-it-yourself candy bouquets are created using the technique of volume modeling from corrugated paper. Why exactly from it? Such material is easy to cut and give it the desired shape, especially when it comes to the gentle bends of the petals.
In addition to paper, special floristic materials and accessories may be required. For example, ordinary and colored wire, decorative elements in the form of butterflies and plastic fruits, small flower baskets, special sponges, beads. Of course, the list is not limited to this and varies depending on the chosen design of the bouquet. For example, for the New Year's option, fir branches will be required, and for the celebration of love - hearts.
The third category provides exclusively applied materials: glue (PVA, pencil or gun), wooden or metal skewers that are used in cooking, scissors, wire cutters, tape tape.
And to complete the list, of course, sweets. The shape that your candy bouquet will take will depend on the shape of the selected treats. With your own hands you can create flowers with your favorite "Raffaello" instead of pestles, or, using cylindrical sweets, stylize them under the branches of reeds. Everything is determined by the design of the product.
How to make a candy bouquet with your own hands?
To answer this question, you must first decide which bouquet is needed. You should start with a simple option, such as a basket of roses.
For it, first of all, corrugated paper will be required. The color palette depends solely on the desire of the master. However, it should be remembered that for white roses it is best to choose not a true white, but its milky shade. So the flowers will look more natural. In addition, dark green paper will also be required to stylize the stem and “crown” at the base of the rose.
Depending on the type of rose, the shape of the sweets is also chosen. So, for example, round or hemispherical sweets are suitable for a tea rose, and cylindrical for all other types. You should also prepare a floristic basket and a sponge for it, wooden skewers, glue gun, scissors, artificial sheets.
The manufacturing process itself is as follows. First, rectangles are cut from corrugated paper. Their number depends on how the master imagines a candy bouquet.
With your own hands, turning rectangles into petals is quite simple, just cut off one side in the shape of a rounded heart, and the opposite with a sharp triangle. After that, the workpiece is stretched with fingers from the middle to the edges.
Tip: if you plan to create tea roses, then the rectangles should tend with their shape to the square. If buds are made, then the blanks for the petals are cut from a strongly "elongated" rectangle.
Next, attach the candy to the skewer and already attach the petals to it. When the bud is formed, a “crown” with brightly protruding teeth is cut out of green paper. They should be twisted, giving them the natural appearance of the petals, and entwined with a crown bud. A skewer is wrapped in the same color with paper.
Having created the planned number of roses, you can begin to assemble the bouquet. To do this, a sponge will be placed in the basket and stems attached to it with artificial branches of leaves. Next, roses are set in random order, forming a given design.
As you can see, making a candy bouquet with your own hands is quite simple, the main thing is to show desire and imagination.
