Gift decoration takes on new interesting forms. The direction of suite design, which includes the compilation of beautiful compositions from sweets, is becoming increasingly popular. And where there are desserts, there are drinks. Bouquets of tea or coffee - no less than an original gift. Moreover, you can perform such a composition yourself.
Collection of basic and additional materials
To work, you will need:
- a set of tea bags in individual packaging;
- chocolate candies, truffles in foil;
- artificial flowers or skewers;
- tea mug or cup;
- crepe paper;
- thin wire or thread.
The process of making flowers from tea bags
First you need to navigate in multi-colored packages and decide what color your bouquets of tea will be. You can make the petals multi-colored or select all of the same shade, for example, gold. Lay out on the table the outlines of future inflorescences and make a choice.
Free artificial flowers from buds, leaving only cuttings with upper small leaves. Or prepare another material for the stems - skewers or rods of copper wire. Even plastic straws for drinks will do.
Wrap sweets in an additional layer of foil with sharp tips outwards, so that it looks like unopened buds.
Bouquets of tea consist of several flowers. To get them, you need to bend the two upper corners of each bag towards each other, forming the shape of a petal. Connect a few petals on the back with a stapler, tape or paper clips.
You can chop a lot of rectangular petals in the form of an open fan, glue it with scotch tape or hot glue using a floristic gun.
Insert a candy in the middle of the tea flower , leaving a long bundle of twisted foil on the back. Fasten this long end by wrapping it around the stem. Secure with a thin wire or thread.
Gather several flowers together and put in a mug or porcelain cup. In the latter version, you need to put a piece of plasticine at the bottom so that the stems stand evenly and beautifully, without falling apart in different directions.
The simplest bouquets of tea at this stage can be considered complete. You can make them quickly, and almost any person will cope with the task.
