Master-class: snowdrops from sweets
It will take:
- small candies in individual packing;
- floristic wire;
- corrugated paper: white, green and green;
- double sided tape;
- scissors, thread and ruler;
- adhesive thermo-gun (replaced with a thin two-sided adhesive tape);
- basket;
- polystyrene or floral sponge;
- for decoration of the composition: ribbons, beads, organza, floral net, sisal, etc.
1. For 5 snowdrops, cut:
- from white paper - 5 strips 2x50 cm;
- from green paper - 5 rectangles 5x4 cm;
- from green paper - 2 strips 2х50 cm.
2. We attach candies to the wire with the help of an adhesive gun. In the absence of an adhesive gun, wrap the wrapper around the wire, and fix it with a thread (Scotch tape).
3. For the middle of the flower, we take a light green rectangle and with the fingers make the edge wavy along the entire length.
4. To form a hollow for a candy, with your thumbs, draw a rectangle from the center to the edges.
5. For the top leaves of the flower, take a white strip, divide it along the length into 3 equal parts (approximately 2х16.5 cm), we obtain blanks for 3 petals.
6. Each billet for the petal is bent in half and twisted around the axis 360 degrees in place of the bend.
7. Twist the strip in half and bend the middle of the petal from the center to the edges, giving it a convex shape.
8. We collect the snowdrop: we wrap the sweet snack on the wire with a light green center and fix it with threads, then we arrange three white petals around the center with candy, applying them a little one-by-one in one direction, fix everything with threads.

9. From the bottom, cut the tips of the petals at an acute angle to the stem.
10. Repeat steps 3-9 for each snowdrop.
11. Two green strips of paper are divided into 4 parts each, we cut out the leaves and, after twisting them, we give them a shape.
12. We wrap the green strip around the base of each flower twice, and then wrap the entire stem. Somewhere in the middle of the stem, we insert a couple of leaves.
