The creation of bouquets, figures and various compositions from candies with the addition of other sweets and the use of various ornamental materials has turned into a true art in the hands of real masters. This direction got its name - suite design.

A variety of candy compositions are a wonderful homemade sweet gift, suitable for any occasion, and practical holiday table decorations that replace fresh flowers.

Bouquets

To get a beautiful composition, you will need sweets. Each candy is strung on a skewer and the corrugated paper petals are secured with tape. You can make roses, peonies, daisies and other flowers.

Do-it-yourself candy crafts in the form of a bouquet will appeal to your mother, grandmother, and friend. The bouquet will become a real holiday decoration.

The more flowers of different shades there are in it, the richer the composition will look.

DIY candy bouquet for beginners

Any person will like such a surprise, especially girls or women. You can even just come to visit with such beauty. And the one for whom such a thing was intended will only be happy. I suggest that at the very beginning we disassemble the craft in the form of a bouquet of flowers in its simplest form.

As is probably tradition, most of us love to give roses, but I want to suggest that you first learn how to make snowdrops. They look very cute and gentle, and if suddenly you don’t know what to please your loved ones, then here’s an idea for you. It will fit perfectly if it’s spring and you really want warmth and the first flowers. It will also be a nice gift for Teacher’s or Educator’s Day, as well as for September 1st.

Moreover, you can take absolutely any box of chocolates, or a bag of sweets, etc., and put your creation on top. In general, look below and you will understand everything yourself.

We will need:

chocolate candies, preferably nuts (almonds or hazelnuts) in chocolate
a box of any chocolates, such as Raffaello or cookies
Floral crepe paper: green, light green and white
green tape
flexible wire
threads
scotch
scissors
yardstick
hot glue gun

1. In order to build 5 flowers, you will need strips: from white crepe paper 5 strips, width - 2 cm, length - 50 cm, from light green - 5 rectangles 5cmx4cm, from green - 2 strips 50 cm long, and width - 2 cm.

2. Now load the gun with the rod and wait until it is ready for use. Glue each candy, or rather the tip of the candy wrapper, onto the wire, as shown in the picture below.

Advice! If you don’t have a glue gun, you can glue the candy wrapper onto double-sided tape, but do not touch the candy.

3. From the rectangles that you made in the amount of 5 pieces, carefully frame them with your hands and make a wavy edge. Squeeze a little, as if you were making an accordion.

4. Now you need to make a deepening.

5. The flower leaves will be white, so take the white strips and get started. Using a ruler, divide into three segments, that is, at a distance of 16.5 cm. Cut. Now twist each resulting strip in this way, as shown in the photo, around its axis by 360 degrees.

6. After rolling, fold each piece in half to form a petal. Make a small indentation.

7. Thus we have come to the final stage of work. Take the wire with the candy and hide it in light green crepe paper. To prevent the paper from falling off, secure it with threads. Then apply white petals and also tie with thread.

8. The result should be something like this. Everything worked out? Well done! Move on.

9. Here’s a top view to make it more clear to you what we’re talking about.

10. Carefully trim all excess with scissors at 45 degrees.

11. Now we decorate the wire and add leaves. To do this, divide the green strips (you have two of them) into four pieces each. As a result, there will be 8 blanks. Trim each piece so that it reminds you of a leaf. Take a look below and see how the job needs to be done. After that, also bend the leaves a little, then you will see why.

12. Now, to hide all the threads and wire, wrap the sepal and stem with adhesive tape.

13. A little lower after the sepals, take a previously prepared green leaf and fix it. There's another one a little lower.

14. Well, this is the amazing result that will await you at the exit. You can decorate with beads and tie a bow. Place the bouquet on the box, dripping it in one place with a glue gun so that the flowers do not fall, and give it to the one you love so much.

Or you can design it differently, add more toys and put such a miracle in a vase or basket.

If you are going on a romantic date or wedding. Then it will be possible to make a more expensive and rich bouquet.

2. Afterwards, glue each skewer to the flower. Paint them with green paint in advance and dry.

3. And on the other side, stick candies, it is advisable to take the middle of a different color so that it differs from the petals.

4. Cheerful and so, well, just a creative gift made in a couple of minutes. Good luck.

Master class of candy flowers in a box

If you like everything unusual and attractive, then the next option will be just that. You can give this souvenir to your mom. By the way, when it’s Mother’s Day, such a masterpiece is simply necessary to express all your feelings and say how much you love her in poetry.

This is a fairly easy craft, even a child can do it, so if you are just a beginner, take note and get creative. After all, such a candy box will surprise anyone and even you when you build it.

I think that you can give such a charm to a work colleague or surprise the team at work when you have a corporate party, for example a New Year’s party. Or maybe you are celebrating the Christmas holidays. In general, such a gift would be appropriate here too. Moreover, sweets will alternate with lollipops. And most importantly, such a souvenir will not hit your budget.

We will need:

any small box
wrapping paper
polystyrene foam or floral foam
crepe paper in red, gold and silver colors
red cellophane (ask at a florist store)
decorative ribbon for bow
scotch
Lollipops and round candies Ferrero Rochers

Stages:

1. Take crepe paper of different colors and cut out 5 cm x 5 cm squares from it; you need as many of them as you have treats. Place the blanks on each skewer, first piercing them with a needle or toothpick.

2. Then place a lollipop stick on the tip of the toothpick and wrap it with tape. But wrap the candies in red cellophane and tape it to a toothpick and secure with tape.

3. Decorate the outside of the box with wrapping paper. Fill the inside with foam. Place a sheet of crepe paper on it and start assembling. Carefully insert sticks with souvenirs in a chaotic manner.

4. Also glue a bow on the box to make the craft look even more impressive.

Tank

Men also love surprises, especially if the craft is made by the hands of their beloved daughter or son. To make a tank, you will first need to create a base on which the candies are then attached.

You can use a straw or candy of a suitable shape as the muzzle of a combat vehicle. For this craft you will need several types of sweets.

Owl made of wood

The owl craft is organically obtained from natural materials, for example from thin cuts of logs. Such a simple material in the skillful hands of a master can take the form of a charming owl.

You will need one large cut and several small ones. The first cut will go on the body of our future owl, and the small ones will play the role of the eyes and feathers of our bird. They will also be used for wings; they can be made from pine cones, tree bark, or birch bark.

The bark needs to be slightly trimmed with scissors, giving it an oval or pointed shape at the bottom. The result will be a rather large owl.

If there are no large cuts, you can make a smaller craft from small cuts. Small black buttons are quite suitable for the eyes, and wings can be drawn on the body itself with a dark felt-tip pen or pharmaceutical iodine

For a more complex option for creating wings, burning with a special device, modeling from plasticine or from thin tree branches is suitable.

For a tall and long owl, you can use a log. Glue buttons for the eyes, and create a beak from a fir cone.

Such a wonderful craft can be placed in the garden or your personal plot; it is also a very beautiful and unique decorative element for the holidays.

Christmas tree

For the product, cardboard, green tinsel and chocolates are purchased. The base is a cone. It is made from thick cardboard. Then the sweets are carefully attached to it using tape and tinsel.

A crafted Christmas tree made from candies will decorate your home during the holidays; children will happily eat the delicacy.

Corrugated roses with candies

Another masterpiece caught my eye; if in the previous version they took a foil ball as a basis and made a flower out of it, then this one will be almost the same, only the ball together will be a round piece of candy. And the buds will not be as open.

Get to work, and these pictures will help you. Nothing difficult, do everything by analogy with previous works. Well, if something is not clear, then I described this master class in more detail here.

Wreath

For the base of the decoration, take cardboard onto which foam rubber is glued.

It is necessary to wrap the workpiece with tape or corrugated paper. Then you can attach the candies to the base. A loop is made on the reverse side of the product, by which it can be hung on the door. The Christmas wreath is already ready.

To get an original decoration, use several types of sweets. The products are complemented with Christmas balls and tinsel.

You can attach a string of beads to the composition and cut out snowflakes for it. Small bows made of satin ribbons look beautiful on such a product.

Gift from Raffaello in the form of a bouquet

Probably the most common sweets are white candies in coconut flakes. It is from them that the next composition will be made. You can hide the Rafael flowers in flowers, or you can go the other way. Buy a box of these sweets and attach bright rose inflorescences, etc. on top. Which method do you prefer? I hope you make your choice soon.

Let’s look at the first option, it will be tulips, you will see all the steps of the work a little lower in this post, and I’m showing the second super masterpiece right now in the form of open roses.

We will need:

Raffaello chocolate box
red satin ribbon
glue gun
scissors
ruler
decorative berries
corrugated paper
foil 17 cm x 13 cm
artificial flowers
artificial leaves

Stages:

1. Using your hands, scrunch the foil into a ball. Cut a strip of green corrugated paper 10.5 cm long and 3 cm wide. Then twist it in half.

2. And then fold and make a depression, as they did in the first master class with snowdrops. Place a ball in the petal.

3. Now shape it into a bud and crumple it. Glue the connection with a gun.

Next, cut out three rectangles from red paper, the size will be 3 cm x 2 cm.

4. Round each piece and also make a depression with your fingers and stretch it.

5. Glue the red petals to the green bud.

6. Now you will need nine rectangular blanks 3 cm x 5 cm. Cut an oval from each rectangle. And then make two cuts like the one shown below. Make a deepening again.

7. And glue the cuts with overlapping glue from a gun. You should get 9 beautiful petals.

8. Glue all 9 petals along the diameter of the bud, each petal should overlap the previous one by half. Cut off any excess green paper.

Now cut out green rectangles 3 cm x 5 cm. And round with scissors on one side to create a leaf shape.

9. Next, stretch each leaf with your fingers, and then cut it two or three times. Glue them to the bottom of the bud.

10. And this is what happened. Build 7-9 of these flowers. And then glue them onto artificial leaves. And then this whole composition onto a box of chocolates.

11. But first, for brightness, tie the box with a satin red ribbon.

12. The end result is this cheerful beauty made from paper roses.

A pineapple

Many people are interested in how to make crafts from candy. The manufacturing process is simple. For pineapple, buy a bottle of champagne and chocolates in golden wrappers. Squares with a side of 5-6 cm are cut out of orange paper. Candies are glued to them. The corners of the squares need to be folded.

The bottle is covered with sweets. Work starts from the bottom and then moves to the upper tiers. All elements are attached tightly to each other; there should be no empty spaces between them.

The neck of the bottle is covered with green leaves made of corrugated paper, and then wrapped with twine.

Beautiful bouquet of sweets and corrugated paper in a basket

To make it more interesting, you can arrange the flowers in a basket and it will turn out to be a real composition, like in those florist shops. Such a gift will make the birthday boy crazy happy. I suggest, in order to avoid repetition, to do the following work in the form of a sunflower.

We will need:

any candy, so that the candy wrappers are black or dark blue, so they will act as seeds
double sided tape
heat gun
scissors
corrugated paper two colors
foam for base
green mesh or organza
toothpicks

Stages:

1. Prepare all the necessary materials for the upcoming work.

2. From orange-yellow paper, cut out a strip 5 cm wide or a little more, depending on your idea and imagination. Also decide on the length yourself, depending on the diameter of the base, but it should be enough for three revolutions around its axis.

The base should be round in shape, the height should also be arbitrary, but not lower than 5 cm. Glue the top of the base with a glue gun with black or dark green paper.

3. Then wrap it around the diameter with yellow corrugation. Also fix it with glue from a gun.

4. Then use scissors to make cuts on the yellow paper to create petals. And take another green ribbon and also make leaves on it, as shown below:

Glue the green corrugation to the workpiece. And with your fingers, slightly squeeze out a semi-circular shape, like a depression, so that the craft looks more voluminous.

5. Attach the sweets with double-sided tape so that they can be easily torn off and eaten later.

6. Now make another frame around the edge in the form of green petals. To do this, glue pieces of green mesh material onto a toothpick. The blanks look like darts. Cut the organza into small squares and then fold each square in half and glue it to the stick.

On a note! Such funny products are called pounders.

7. So, insert the pounds along the edge of the work. They will decorate your sunflower. And also add a satin ribbon and add any decorations, rhinestones or puff pastry souvenirs in the form of a butterfly or ladybug at your discretion.

Here’s another wonderful idea for you, really, the author is great, I really like it!

Other interesting ideas

The gift should be thematic, that is, correspond to the interests of the person for whom it is intended. A man will like a car, a craft in the form of dumbbells, a simple composition including alcohol and candy.

For a girl, you can make a delicate bouquet or an animal figurine. Children will be delighted with their favorite cartoon or fairy tale character.

Candy can be used to make laptops, helicopters, dolls, robots, trees, fruits and other crafts. You just need to use your imagination and start creating.
