We make a bouquet of sweets: roses from corrugated paper
Creating a candy bouquet in the form of handmade roses for beginners and professionals is quite an interesting lesson.
In order to make a bouquet with corrugated paper sweets, you need to use the following materials:
- round sweets;
- corrugated paper of pink and green colors (or any other shades to your taste);
- glue;
- double sided tape;
- scissors;
- satin ribbon;
- toothpicks or skewers for canapes;
- decor;
- small basket.
Having prepared everything you need, begin to boldly craft the original bouquet with corrugated paper sweets.
Creating a rosebud
- Cut the base for the rosebud out of corrugated paper - two 7 x 8 cm rectangles.Round one end. Use your fingers to gently stretch it from the center to the bases to give it naturalness.
- Next, wrap the candy in your “bud”, fixing it at the base with glue, and fix it on a toothpick or skewer, carefully tying it with a thread.
- Start making rose petals. Depending on your preferences, you can make a half-open bud or a lush flower. To create a classic rose, prepare eight pieces of corrugated petal paper. Their sizes should be 2 cm smaller than the bud.
- Using a toothpick, wrap each petal from one edge.Then stretch to center to shape. Using glue, attach to the base of the bud. To make your rose look neater, apply glue to the non-rounded ends of the petals. They should be attached to the bud in two layers. The first row - three little things, the second - five little things.
As a result, you should get a pretty rose.
Leaves for roses
For realism in the manufacture of leaves for roses, it is recommended to use green corrugated paper.
Cut out rectangles of small paper - 2-2.5 cm. Then make streaks so that a blank resembling a crown comes out. Attach the resulting figures to the base of the roses with a thread. Do not use adhesive tape - it will be too noticeable and visually increase the base of the rose.
It remains to put the resulting roses in a basket and decorate. Corrugated paper can be placed on the bottom of the basket.
Ready your beautiful bouquet of sweets! Roses from corrugated paper are waiting for their happy owner!

So you will need:
- corrugated paper in four vibrant colors;
- green teip tape;

- double-sided adhesive web - 1 m of a white base;
- satin or packaging tape;
- transparent beads to simulate dew;
- tools: wooden stick, scissors, pliers.
Making a bouquet of tulips from sweets and corrugated paper
- Cut a long strip of corrugation into two equal parts. After that, cut each into four more equal parts. As a result, you should get eight stripes.To make one tulip, six strips are required.
- Next, each strip must be turned in the center and bent so that the front edges look in one direction. Slightly stretch the paper at the bottom edge. In this way, prepare six blanks for one tulip.
- Take a shortened wire and tape the end. Screw the packaging of candy to the wire.
- Let's start assembling the elements of the tulip. Take the first workpiece and glue it to the wire with tape.
- Place the other two blanks near the candy, holding with your fingers. Wrap tightly with tape.
- Now arrange the second sides so that the corrugated paper takes the form of a tulip. First fix two tails with tape tape, and then fix the third.
- Do the same with the remaining three blanks. Trim the excess edges of the corrugated paper tilted at the base of the bud. If desired, you can trim after the first row of petals. Wrap the shallow part with tape-tape and wrap the rod to the very end.
- We make leaves for the tulip. To do this, cut a strip of corrugated paper. Then you need to cut it into two unequal parts, one workpiece should be slightly longer. Fold each part four times and cut the leaves.
Assembly
Are you dreaming of learning how to make bouquets of sweets and corrugated paper? The workshop presented below will help you make your dream a reality.
To make the leaves look natural, use a wooden stick. Each leaf must be pulled out with a stick in a spiral. First, place a short sheet and fix it with tape. A little lower on the trunk, place a long leaf and fix in the same way.
In order to start collecting tulips in a bouquet, you will need to first pull off two tulips using a teip tape. Then add one tulip in a checkerboard pattern, alternating flowers of different colors.
After collecting the tulips in a bunch, cut another twenty leaves, as well as for flowers. Place the resulting leaves around the perimeter of the bouquet and fix three pieces with tape tape.
It remains to wrap the resulting bouquet with corrugated paper sweets in wrapping paper or a spider line.
To complete the work, tie a bouquet with a ribbon. If desired, one transparent dewdrop bead can be glued to each tulip.
Conclusion
It is possible that the first time the perfect bouquet may not work. However, you can learn a little and eventually reach a decent level of design of "sweet" compositions, becoming an experienced florist.
