Soon a magical holiday? Looking for new opportunities to decorate the New Year's table? A tree of sweets and champagne is a great idea that everyone can realize. Having mastered the principle of creating such a souvenir, you will make any option from the simplest to the most complex, sophisticated with additional decor.
What to cook
To make a beautiful tree made of sweets and champagne, you will need the following:
- a bottle of champagne ;
- sweets in green or multi-colored wrappers are better than elongated, but can also be round;
- glue or thermal gun;
- green corrugated paper, mesh, organza, satin ribbon;
- scissors;
- decorative elements (beads, tinsel, stars, snowflakes).
What your Christmas tree made of sweets and champagne will look like depends on the manufacturing method and the amount of time that you are willing to spend on its creation. The first three items make up a minimum set of parts, the rest is optional.
DIY Christmas tree of sweets and champagne (quick way)
If you have no time to be creative at all, but still want to make a table decoration, use the following technology.
- Take the corrugated paper, glue it into a tube.
- Put on the bottle. The corrugation will take the appropriate form. The same can be done with the help of green nylon or other elastic fabric (cut off socks or toes).
- Glue sweets on top of the loose ends of the wrappers. Try to do this so that the bottom of the tree looks more voluminous, that is, keep a semblance of a conical shape of a tree.
- Near the cork, you can glue a star-shaped decor, wrap the design with beads or tinsel.
All is ready. It will take about half an hour. Perhaps the tree will turn out not so magnificent and natural, but it will be uniquely beautiful.
DIY Christmas tree of sweets and champagne: master class
To get a more voluminous and decorative option, act on the following technology:
- You can, as in a simple method, first make a "cover" for the bottle of green corrugated paper.
- Cut organza or any other material into strips or take green satin ribbons .
- Another way is to make small pieces of squares of the same fabric, of ribbons, mesh.
You just need to drop the glue in the center of the square and insert a toothpick or match. You will get a magnificent cone on a stick. - When the workpieces are completed, first glue fabric strips in tiers, making folds with glue, and then candy. So go on to the neck of the bottle. The tree turns out magnificent, openwork and decorative.
- Hang beads or tinsel from above in a spiral. You can decorate the surface with snowflakes, balls, stars.
Here everything is limited by your imagination and desire to create an original and unique thing. If you liked the idea, but such a gift is too expensive (the price of champagne, sweets, decor and work is quite high), the number of candies can be made smaller by increasing the intervals between tiers. They are easy to fill with voluminous tinsel.
Nice sweet gift
You can create an original souvenir using any of the above methods. It is used not only as a decor of champagne for a festive table. Alternatively, you can try to make, so to speak, a non-alcoholic gift. The bottle is used empty (as a basis), closing it completely with candies and other decorations, along with the neck. Moreover, if you get an exquisite beautiful accessory, and it’s a pity to use it for its intended purpose (eat sweets), you can carefully pull them out so that candy wrappers stay in their places. Then it is enough to fill the void with material, for example, for soft toys. However, it is convenient to do this only with round candies.
So, you saw how simple a tree is made from sweets and champagne. Half an hour of time you can definitely find to make such an original decor for a New Year's table or gift.
