Original gifts made with their own hands are always appreciated very highly. It is worth spending a little time and labor to make a person of great value to you a truly valuable and unusual gift. Such gifts include candy bouquets. They can be given to everyone - children and adults, close friends and colleagues. A more universal gift is hard to come up with.
In this article we will talk about how to make and draw a bouquet of chocolates.
How to learn to make bouquets of chocolates?
To make a candy bouquet of roses, you will need the following materials and components:
- candies in the form of a ball;
- Corrugated paper (colored tissue paper), foil, wrapping paper;
- scissors;
- Glue (and even better - glue gun);
- transparent adhesive tape (single and double-sided);
- wire (soft for fastening parts and stiff for stems);
- nippers;
- tulle, organza, ribbons and pieces of beautiful fabric;
- Styrofoam;
- wicker basket for base;
- wooden skewers or toothpicks;
- decor for a bouquet - beads, plastic butterflies, hearts, pompons.
First we make the middle (core) of the flower. To do this, wrap the candy with gold foil and secure it with a thin wire.

Then we make petals. To do this, we cut the corrugated paper into squares. Fold together two squares together (2 layers of paper) and bend each pair of squares in half along the vertical axis.
| | | |
With the help of scissors we give the squares the shape of the petal (we round off the upper corners). Straighten the finished petals and stretch the middle a little - to make a bend, like a real petal. The leaves are left two-layered.
| | |
In the center of each petal, put the candy in foil and wrap the paper, fixing the bottom wire. Slightly spread the upper edges of the petals - our rose is almost ready.

We make sepals from green paper. To do this, cut out a small square (the size of the flower) and cut through the top of the sharp triangle leaves. Lubricate the base of the flower with glue and fix the green paper, tightly pressing it against the flower.
| | | |
After the glue has dried a little, you can cut off excess paper at the bottom of the flower, making its base thinner
.To do this, take the scissors and cut some paper at an angle from both sides of the flower. As a result, the remaining paper gets a V-shape.
| | |
Now that the flower is almost ready, you can insert a stem (dense wire) into it. Then cut off the green paper thin strip (tape) and wrap the base of the flower, closing the slices and wire-stem.

Straighten the petals so that the core is slightly visible. As a result, we get this kind of rose.
Depending on the occasion - birthday, New Year , wedding, housewarming - you can use different styles of decor and types of bouquets of sweets. At desire, you can not be limited to a bouquet, and to add to them another gift, for example, a soft toy, a picture, a gift certificate.
How to pick a bouquet of chocolates
After you have made a sufficient number of flowers, they must be collected into a single composition. For this we need a basket-base and foam. Cut the foam into the shape of the bottom of the base (you do not have to take a whole piece - you can fill the base with densely packed pieces of medium-sized polystyrene).
First we place large details - flowers. To do this, simply stick the wire stems into the foam.
Intervals between the colors are filled with ribbons, pieces of fabric, beads, plastic decor.
There are many different forms of bouquets, but for beginners the best is the classic round (hemisphere), flat (fan) and cone shaped bouquet.
After the composition is collected, it remains to decide how to pack a bouquet of chocolates. Of course, unlike real flowers, candy bouquets are not so demanding and capricious, they easily tolerate the cold. However, it is very important to protect them from moisture and wind. To do this, you can use opaque wrapping paper or ordinary floristic film.
As decorative packaging you can use fabric, floral mesh, wrapping paper or film.
As you can see, there are no special difficulties in creating a candy bouquet. With sufficient zeal, even children can do it (of course, under the supervision of adults). Creating such a bouquet is an excellent opportunity for parents and children to spend time together not only fun, but also with benefit.
Bouquets of sweets do not necessarily use as a gift. They look great on the table. Be sure, your guests will appreciate this stylish and delicious decor.
