On the eve of the New Year and Christmas holidays, there are both children and adults in joyful anticipation. This is due to the expectation of vacations, gifts, the arrival of guests and something less concrete, but much more exciting - a new life, the boundary of which is the New Year.
And every time on the eve of the holidays we invariably puzzle over the gifts: I want to please all my relatives and friends, but at the same time investing in a limited budget. In this case, the best option for a gift, as in addition to the main one, and completely independent, will be a souvenir made by yourself and with the soul of the corresponding theme. For example, New Year's bouquets of sweets in the form of sledges. Fresh and indelible - instead of traditional boxes and packages with sweets, and, undoubtedly, nice - there are few people who are able to give up chocolate.

Progress
- The beginning may seem difficult in practice, but after the first craft, some dexterity will appear and things will go faster. We put the candy-canes with the bent ends upwards, we put on each of them hot melt on all length and from above we fix a big bar of chocolate.
- We take 4 smaller chocolates and distribute them evenly over the surface, fixing with a glue gun.
- Then we take 3 more chocolates and distribute them so that they cover the voids between the lower ones - that is, in staggered order. Fix glue.
- Similarly we fix 2 more.
- On top fix the last, turning it longitudinally.
- Crisscrossing, we wind our sledges with a wide decorative ribbon, the ends of which are also fixed with glue from below.
- Ahead is the glue of the chocolate Santa Claus, who will manage our sweet cart. From above, we glue the gift bow. Cute sled of sweets are ready with their own hands.
Also from candy it is possible to make very unusual New Year bouquets.
