I offer you a master class on a bouquet of sweets. This is a wonderful gift not only for the woman you love, but also for your mother, aunt, teacher, boss, colleague, and so on. Firstly, what is made by hand is always more pleasant, because soul and individual approach are put into each such work. Secondly, the sweets can be carefully removed from the buds, and the composition will remain to please its owner for the rest of her life.
Necessary materials:
- basket;
- candies;
– skewers;
– glue gun;
– 2 sticks of silicone glue;
– corrugated paper in 3 colors (one of them must be green);
– a small piece of polystyrene foam;
– 2 identical bows;
– beads;
– sisal;
- artificial greenery.
Step-by-step instructions for making the composition “Basket with flowers made from candies”
1. Take corrugated paper of two different colors. I have these light and dark lilac colors, we will use them to make buds.Since my bouquet will have 19 flowers, I took 10 lilac and 9 dark lilac corrugated stripes for the blanks. They should be approximately 5-6 cm wide and the entire length of the roll itself.
2. Divide each strip into 3 equal parts. To speed up the process, you can fold several strips of corrugation at once and cut them.
3. Measure out approximately one third of the cut strip and twist it in the opposite direction 360 degrees.
This is what you should get:
These are the preparations you should have for flowers – tulips.
4. Next, take the candy and apply glue on one side of the ends.
5. Connect the ends to the base of the candy so that the tails do not stick out.
6. We also apply glue to the other side of the ponytails and fix the skewer in the middle.
7. Form a bud. To do this, take a petal and insert a candy into it.
8. Lubricate the ends of the petal with glue and wrap the skewers in a circle, while pressing the corrugation with your fingers for a tight fixation.
Glue two more petals in the same way. Make sure that there is the same distance between them.
These are the blanks you should get:
9. Next, take green corrugation and cut 19 strips (since there are 19 colors) approximately 20 cm long.
10. Cut 8-10 strips of 5-6 cm wide from green corrugated paper.
11. Form the tulip leaves. To do this, we repeat the manipulation of making buds.
12. Starting at the base of the bud, glue on a green corrugated strip to create the appearance of a stem.
13. Glue the tulip leaves to some flowers (you can do it to each one).
14. Take about 20 skewers and break them in half.
15. Cut the ribbons approximately 18-20 cm long. We will need about 10 pieces of thin ribbon and the same amount of wide.
16. Fold the ribbons in half and glue the ends to the skewers.
17. We measure the corrugation for the basket so that its ends hang down a little.
18. Cut out the foam in a size that fits the diameter of the basket and fix it with glue.
19. We insert flowers into the foam so that the distance between them is the same. We also insert skewers with ribbons.
20. Take a sprig of artificial greenery and glue it to a skewer.
21. Insert greenery in the middle of the bouquet.
22. To fill the empty spaces in the basket, I used green sisal.
21. To decorate the handles of the basket, I took a thin ribbon. I fixed it at the base of the handle and completed it in the form of a spiral.
22. To decorate the sides of the basket, you can use 2 identical bows. You can make them yourself, but I used ready-made bows.
This is how bows decorate the sides of our composition.
The composition “Basket with flowers made from candies” is ready!
In fact, everything is very simple and easy. The main thing is to put a piece of your soul and mood into your work. The good thing about handmade work is that the result is always unexpected, since a lot of ideas always appear during work.
