Master-class on making a sweet bouquet of candies for Teacher's Day by own hands
Nowadays, teachers are spoiled by attentionparents, mothers and fathers of each schoolchild try to present an unusual bouquet. But roses, mimosas, orchids, etc. – have been presented to the class teacher more than once, so there is a serious choice before creating a gift. A bouquet of candies, each of which is wrapped in corrugated paper like a flower, will look original. Such a gift will stay on the teacher’s desk for many weeks, and delicious candies made from the hearts of flowers will cheer up the teacher.To create a chocolate bouquet, prepare:
Roses in different colors are used for this bouquetcolors. For each flower you will need a sheet of corrugated paper with dimensions of approximately 20 by 10 cm. The number of pieces of paper corresponds to the number of flowers. You can combine several colors in a bouquet or use a double palette; many bouquets look great in a single color. First, cut out the petal of the future rose. It measures about 7 cm in height and 5-6 cm at its widest part. The lower base of the petal should be straight, and the top of the workpiece – domed. You can cut out one template from cardboard and trace all the details on it. Experienced craftswomen often cut out petals without a template, but stick to the same size.Each flower requires one petalfor a bud and 7-8 elements to create a lush inflorescence. Create similar elements from all pieces of paper of different colors. To give the part a shape identical to a living rose petal, you will need to twist the side parts of the workpiece.
To begin with, twist the skewer 1-2 turns on one side of the workpiece, then twist the other side of the petal, but it should be symmetrical to the first bend.
At the last stage, the upper part is formeddome of the workpiece, it is also screwed onto a small stick. It is better not to use a toothpick, it is very small for such petals and the work will not curl, but will only be wrinkled. An alternative to a skewer can be a rod, etc.
Now take a wire or skewer thatcan serve as a flower stem. Place a drop of glue on the top of the stick and immediately attach the base to the candy. Now you need to form a rose bud. To do this, take one petal that has not been curved and wrap it around the candy. The base of the part must be lubricated with hot glue and fixed to the stem of the flower.
In the next step, glue two curved petals to the bud. These parts are arranged symmetrically. The elements are fixed with glue at the base.
The next pair of petals are glued into the gapsbetween the first elements and the product looks more like a rose inflorescence. Try to straighten the petals at the bottom and squeeze the base to create a depression under the bottom of the bud, where there is candy.
Glue the remaining petals in a third tier, adding volume to the flower and making it fully consistent with the shape of the rose.
The last petal that will be glued toflower, will have to be located on the outside of the bouquet and it will need to be decorated with an additional element – a leaf symbolizing autumn, that is, a yellow-orange maple leaf.
Take a round base made of foam plastic or othersimilar material and “plant” flowers in it. First, place the main rose in the center, then arrange the remaining inflorescences in a circle, filling the entire central space.
The space between the roses can be decorated with artificial berries or leaves. Try not to overdo it with the decor, because this is a bouquet of roses, not leaves.
All lower parts of the stems are placed in the sleeve,that is, a cylinder made of thick cardboard. Similar details remain when using a roll of paper towels or toilet paper. Pack the bottom gap of the piece in green foil and wrap the entire bouquet in a rectangular sheet of corrugated paper with the edge folded over.
The last decorating detail – these are ribbonswhich wrap around the bottom of the bouquet. Take several satin pieces of bright colors and tie them around the sleeve with the stems. For better fixation of the ribbons, you can attach them to the paper with glue, apply drops of molten plastic in 2-3 places, then the ribbons will not slip off the base of the bouquet.
A charming bouquet for the teacher is ready. It can be given as a gift for a holiday or just to please your favorite teacher.
