How to make a tree of sweets?
- We form a tree trunk from a thick wire, folding it into several layers and wrapping it tightly. We make "roots", which rest against the walls of the pot. This will ensure the stability of the tree. We wrap the barrel with a cloth in a spiral or, if a stick is used, we cover it with aerosol paint.
- In the pot we lay out several layers of foam or cut out from the sponge-"oasis" shape, similar to the shape of the pot. On the opposite end of the "trunk" we dress and fix a ball of foam.
- We produce florets of corrugated paper (organza). We make a bud, stretching the edges of the shape. Extend the stretched edge with glue.
- Candy is fastened on the toothpick with glue and wraps the corrugated paper. We protect the lower edge, forming a bud.
- We make petals in the form of hearts. We give them a shape, winding a wide part of the petals on the pencil.
- We bend the lower part of the petal with a finger. With a toothpick, twist the upper part from both sides.
- We glue to the bud 3 petals. We fix the flower on the frame.
- We decorate with ribbons and beads.
- Complement the composition of the attributes at will. The gift tree is ready!
Money tree of sweets
As an option, we suggest you make a money tree of sweets. It symbolizes a sweet and prosperous life. In this product, sweets and coins are attached directly to the stick without the use of a foam ball.
It is recommended to fasten the candies together, for example, with a golden ribbon, and strengthen them on the trunk using scotch tape and narrow ribbons.
As you can see, due to the step-by-step instructions, it is not difficult to make a tree from sweets. Your gift, made with a soul, will attract everyone's attention and will certainly cause admiration from the originator of the celebration! Also from sweets, you can make other gift compositions, for example, a doll or a car .
