On the eve of a holiday, everyone begins to fuss in search of souvenirs for family members, friends, colleagues. It’s easier for women to choose an interesting thing. But finding something original and unusual for a chef, friend, brother, father often becomes a problem. Actual and fashionable idea - a gift from sweets. For men, they perform compositions in the appropriate style in the form of attributes of professional activity or objects associated with a particular person that characterize him.
Original candy gifts
On holidays or just as a thank you, people often give boxes of sweet content. This is traditional, but at the same time too common. If you like a non-standard approach, it is better to buy unpacked sweets or chocolates and create a beautiful composition from them yourself or order in a company. This is usually done by flower and gift shops.
So, you can make an unusual gift for the teacher from sweets. Women most often make bouquets, hearts, hats, cakes, caskets. Although it’s interesting to order a composition for the professional holiday in the form of an object directly related to the field of activity that the teacher is engaged in: a writer — a book, a geographer — a globe, a labor teacher — a sewing machine. Such sweet souvenirs will look very original and exclusive.
Male design
If you need a gift from sweets for men, you should choose the appropriate idea. As an object for a sweet composition, the following are selected:
- car;
- steering wheel;
- motorcycle;
- ship;
- a train;
- a gun;
- barbell;
- weight;
- mug of beer;
- anchor;
- wheel;
- attributes of success and income (dollar sign, euro, etc.).
Often, in addition to sweets, men are added to the composition of the bottle with alcohol. A sweet gift can be made not only in the form of a specific object, but simply as a beautiful combination of a decorated bottle and a “ladder” of chocolates or a candy “pedestal”.
What is required
If you want to make a beautiful gift from sweets in the form of an object, you will need to create a frame that is already glued with sweets. When you order a gift at the appropriate company, you are only asked for candy and money for the job. You don’t have to worry about everything else.
To make an unusual composition with your own hands, you need to prepare the following:
- Sweets and little chocolates.
- Frame elements (box, wire, cardboard, paper and glue for papier-mâché technique).
- Thermogun or PVA (usually in this way they connect sweets to each other).
- Additional decor (satin ribbons of different colors, sparkles, as well as small decorations in the form of stars, hearts).
The style of decoration and decoration depends on who and what holiday you are creating the souvenir for: a guy on Valentine's Day or a chef on February 23. Although men's compositions usually do not use flowers, beads, fabric, feathers, etc., sometimes without decorations the gift will be too mean. The items listed above can be added to the bottle or base of the composition. The main thing is to choose the "male" colors.
How to do it yourself
So, you have chosen which candy gift for men you will make. Regardless of whether you found a picture with a sample of the finished product or came up with an object yourself, the work must be done as follows:
- Take a solid, solid base larger than a future souvenir if it stands on it like a pedestal. As a blank, use thick cardboard, plastic, plywood, a box. Decorate this detail with what you have at hand: cover it with fabric, glue it with beautiful designer paper with a pattern, texture or pearly sheen.
- Form the frame of the composition. For a beer mug, a cylindrical box is suitable; for a kettlebell, a ball. The anchor is easy to cut out of cardboard or plastic. For complex volumetric objects, for example, a car, you can make a frame from papier-mâché. A finished object is taken (a children's toy) and pasted over with layers of paper cut into small pieces with preliminary drying of the previous laid layer. By the way, the source code should be wrapped with a film or a package so that it is easy to remove the paper shell.
- Fasten the fabricated frame to the base.
- Now the fun part is candy decoration. Most often they are glued tightly to each other so that they create a single surface or, conversely, at a distance in the form of a pattern. In the second case, sweets will take less, but then preliminary decoration of the frame will be required so that the gaps are beautiful.
That's the whole technology. Any object is executed in this way. Depending on the complexity of the composition - faster and easier or longer.
So, you saw that making a gift from sweets for men is not difficult at all. The main thing is to choose an idea, buy sweets and materials for the frame. Only time will be required for the creative process.
