How to make a bouquet of sweets?
What is required for work?
There are many options for making bouquets using sweets: here are both classic bouquets and baskets. It all depends on the imagination and the availability of the material necessary for the work. In order to understand how to make a simple bouquet of sweets with your own hands, you need to prepare all the materials in advance:
- foil-wrapped candies, or separately prepare pieces of foil and wrap the cooked candies with them;
- small flower pot;
- corrugated paper of a red or lilac hue;
- wooden skewers, you can use Chinese sticks, but making them will be a little difficult;
- foam for laying out the bottom of the flower pot;
- the tape is transparent or the same color as the corrugated paper.
You can add materials as you wish. For example, instead of scotch tape, use a thread or tape, and instead of a plastic pot, prepare a beautiful wicker basket.
Now you should imagine a sequence of how to quickly and easily make a bouquet of sweets with your own hands:
- Place the foam in the pot – it should not be visible from under the edges.
- Cut into squares or rectangles of equal size from paper. The width of the sides directly depends on the size of the candies used – the larger the candy, the larger the squares.
- Put a piece of corrugated paper on the skewer – make sure that the skewer goes exactly in the middle of the piece.
- Twist the free ends of the paper around the skewer – you should get a “basket” with the edges raised up.
- The base of the resulting flower must be wrapped with tape – a full-fledged bud is obtained.
- A foil-wrapped candy is placed on the top of the skewer. The other end of the “stem” is stuck into the foam.
The result is a stylish bouquet, where beauty depends on the number of “flowers” – the more buds, the more attractive and luxurious the bouquet looks. This rule also applies to other compositions, where there is no need to resort to complex execution techniques.
