There is something in the world that absolutely all adults loveand children are gifts. Today, there are New Year, Birthday, Valentine's Day, March 8 and many other wonderful occasions to give a nice souvenir that does not oblige to anything, but will simply please a person. The tradition of giving cute little things appeared a long time ago. Initially, gifts were a mutual obligation, excluding only leaders and influential people - they were presented with gifts, seeking favor or special favor. Something from this tradition has remained to this day. Probably, the most ancient type of gifts were offerings to the gods. Fruits, various kitchen utensils and many other things were placed on the altar, in the hope of gaining the favor of the gods. The history of the custom of giving gifts to loved ones appeared in the pre-Christian era. Many scientists believe that the origins of this tradition date back to the celebration of the winter solstice - Yule, revered in the countries of Northern Europe. Ancient people celebrated the return of the sun's warmth and the increase in daylight hours during this winter period, which could last almost two weeks. They wove and gave baskets using wheat stalks, which served as a symbol of fertility and prolongation of life. The harvest season was celebrated no less joyfully. According to another opinion of scientists, the tradition of giving gifts owes its appearance to the ancient Roman holiday of Saturnalia. It fell in winter, on this day slaves and masters changed places with each other, and at the end of the celebration, everyone received a clay figurine and a candle as a gift.

And yet many people are overcome with trepidation when the holiday is approaching, and no original gift ideas come to mind. Someone starts looking for options on the Internet, someone goes on a multi-hour shopping tour, and only needlewomen go to the nearest candy store. Many craftswomen who create beauty with their own hands have long mastered one of the very popular areas of needlework - sweet design. These are wonderful options for creating crafts, most often bouquets, from candies. If you want to give a beautiful, original and at the same time tasty and practical gift, this article is for you. So, let's dwell on the important nuances in more detail. The very first thing is, of course, candies. They are the basis of such bouquets. Their composition can be absolutely anything - caramels, marshmallows, chocolate or even gummy bears. The main thing is that the taste of the candies pleases the person for whom this gift is intended. The wrapper of the candy is also not important, since you will decorate them. The main thing in choosing candies will be their shape, according to the parameters it should match the future flowers or the decor that you have conceived. The next aspect will be the container in which you will place your candy composition. This can be a basket, a beautifully shaped vessel or just details like a stand on legs or an envelope. There is so much packaging material and various decorative elements that everything will depend on your imagination, the main thing is that the color and decoration match the occasion, the holiday and the person himself. Another nice feature of a gift in the sweet design style is the ability to use it as packaging for a surprise. For example, put a ring and a proposal of marriage from a young man in love to his girlfriend in one of the flowers. So, if you want to give your loved ones a beautiful, original and delicious gift for the holiday, we offer you several master classes on creating bouquets of candies. Bouquet of tulips from candiesMaterials:

A small cut of green felt for the leaves;
Floral tape is green;
Wooden skewers (as for shish kebabs, about 20 cm in length);
Wide satin ribbon.

Making tulips will be very easy.We take our candies and wrap them in squares of fabric. If your sweets are in the form of a pyramid with a flat base (like ours), just put two candies together.We insert a skewer into the bundle and begin to wrap it with green floral tape until the end of the skewer.From green felt we cut out leaves (arbitrary shape) and attach them to our tulip using the same flor tape.One flower is ready. All that's left is to make as many as you want, put them together in a bouquet and tie a satin ribbon into a beautiful bow.The next bouquet we will make from corrugated paper. Delicate crocuses are perfect for these purposes. Basket of crocuses from sweetsMaterials:

Sweets (we have in the form of a cone, these are convenient to attach);
Wooden skewers;
Corrugated paper of different colors;
Scotch;
The basket;
Decorative mesh for floristics, ribbons and other decor elements;
The wire is approximately 0.6 mm.

We take corrugated paper of the shades thatwe chose for flowers and cut into strips 5 x 20 cm. Each strip needs to be twisted in the middle and bent in half at this point. The halves should be folded evenly. Now hold the lower part tightly with your fingers and melt the petal in the middle (see photo).We take our candy and attach it by the tailskewer with a piece of thin wire. Now attach several petals to the workpiece, overlapping (3 - 4 pieces). Secure them with wire. Take a thin green ribbon and carefully wrap the junction.Cut out long leaves from green corrugated paper (see photo). Attach them to the stem. You need 2 leaves for each flower.When you have made all the flowers, you will need to place them in a basket, decorate with mesh and ribbons, or decorate the bouquet to your taste. Bouquet of roses with candiesRoses are the queens of gardens. We couldn't ignore such gorgeous flowers, and now we will make a bouquet of roses with sweets. Materials:

Floral wire of large diameter;
Round big sweets;
Gold paper for wrapping;
Double-sided adhesive tape (thin);
Golden thread;
Elements of decor (ribbons, beads, anything you want).

First, let's make the flower's core. If the candies have a tail, carefully tuck it in. You can even glue it with tape. We wrap the resulting ball in golden wrapping paper.We fix it with a golden thread. It needs to be pulled tight so that the candy doesn't "squirm" inside. The core of the rose is ready.Now we take the pink corrugated paper. First we need two petals.Their size will depend on the size of the candy. The petal should completely cover it and be a little bigger.Cut out the petals as shown in the photo.Now we move one of them a little higher than the other and wrap our core in an overlapping manner. Now let's get started with the green paper.We will make a sepal for a rosebud. The size of the green blank is approximately the same as the pink one. Cut out the teeth up to half of the square (see photo). Do not forget to choose the correct direction of paper compression. Pay attention to how exactly the paper is oriented in the photo.Glue our sepal around the rose with double-sided tape. Cut off the excess paper (see photo). Now we take our wire pieces andwe attach one of them to our bud. Then we take a ribbon of green corrugated paper and begin to carefully wrap it, making sure that there are no unevennesses.We also secure the end of the ribbon with double-sided tape. Our rosebud is ready.Now you can make a few more roses,decorate them with ribbon, beads, rhinestones or something to your taste. For those who love lush and full rose inflorescences, we offer this version of this flower in a sweet design.Materials:

Corrugated paper. If you have some left over from the previous master class – great, all that remains is to add another shade of pink (darker);
Floral wire 1.4 mm and 0.6 mm;
Candy;
Artificial rose leaves;
Glue gun;
Tools for working with wire;
Floral tape or tape tape.

Take a piece of wire and bend a loop at one end. Unfold the candy wrapper slightly on one side, insert the wire loop there and fold again.From paper of a darker shade we cut out 4- 6 petals. Slightly larger in width and length than the candy. The upper edge of the blanks should be stretched with your fingers so that it takes on a wavy shape. You should also stretch the middle of the petals a little - this is the depression for the candy.Apply to the lower end of one petala little hot glue and wrap the candy in it. Glue the next pair of petals overlapping. Similarly (in a checkerboard pattern) glue the second row of petals. Now they need to be tightened and secured with thin wire.Now we need paper of a lighter shade.It is necessary to cut out larger and rounder petals from it. Stretch them a little from above. And now we need to round and turn outward the edges of the petals so that the rose "opens up". For this, you can use a pencil or a chopstick (see photo).We glue the petals overlapping and secure themagain with a piece of thin wire. Now we take on the green paper. We cut out the blanks almost the same way as in the previous master class. Only we make the base of the teeth smaller. We attach the sepal with the help of flor tape.How to make a bud, you know from the previous master class. Now you only need to attach the bud and artificial leaves to the opened flower using flor tape. Our rose is ready.Bouquet of Ferrero Rocher chocolatesMaterials:

Ferrero's sweets;
Wooden skewers or pieces of wire;
Gold foil or corrugated paper;
Golden thin ribbons;
Scotch;
Organza (we have a light purple);
Corrugated paper for processing the finished bouquet.

We wrap the candies in foil or gold-colored corrugated paper. You can drop a little glue on the bottom for reliability.At one end of the wire pieces we make a loop, insert it into the wrapping tail and secure the candies. We wrap the entire surface of the wire with the same foil or paper.Now you need to cut out 20 x 20 cm pieces from organza. Fold the squares in half and wrap the candies with them. Tie a golden ribbon into a bow at the base.To prevent our bouquet from falling apart, we fasten them together with tape.The final touch is to wrap the entire bouquet in corrugated paper and tie a bow. Stretch the edges framing the bouquet with your fingers. This will make them wavy.Instead of corrugated paper, you can take a piece of organza of a different shade, glue or sew beads onto it and wrap our candy flowers in organza.Candy bouquets come in a variety of shapes and sizes.sizes. At the same time, flower arrangements are usually given mainly to women. But among the strong half of humanity there are so many sweet tooths that we decided to demonstrate how to make a delicious and beautiful bouquet of sweets in the form of a ship.

Bouquet of sweets in the form of a shipAt first glance, the design looks complicated and difficult to implement, but we will demonstrate that this is only the first impression. So, the materials:

A small oval or rectangular basket (it will serve as the hull of the ship);
A piece of styrofoam (in shape and size a bit smaller than a basket, we will attach candies to it);
Short skewers or toothpicks and long skewers;
Several shades of wrapping paper;
Glue;
Thick threads in the tone of paper;

We take our basket and glue it into itpolystyrene foam. The thickness of the polystyrene foam should not exceed the height of the basket side. We attach the candy to a toothpick or a short skewer and wrap it in several layers of different paper. We took blue and transparent, as well as a floral mesh. We fix our wrapper around the toothpick with the candy using scotch tape.Now you need to roll up the thick paper (we haveblue) cone and attach to the bow of the ship. You can make a smaller cone at the stern. When the cones are glued, take long skewers. These will be the future masts. We have a three-masted ship, so we needed three pieces. Cut out sails from thick paper. Attach them to the mast-skewers and stick them into our future ship along the midline from bow to stern. Make the middle mast higher. Now take our blanks on toothpicks and start sticking them into the foam along the perimeter of the ship.Thick threads will be our tackle.Glue them to the masts and sides of the ship. Attach the candies to the masts and ropes. Wait until the glue dries completely and you can safely give this wonderful sweet three-masted ship to your man.Our delicious, beautiful and original bouquets will definitely please your loved ones.
