Krestik has already told you about how to make an original gift for your teacher on September 1 - a “Cool Magazine” made from sweets. And now we will teach you how to make a composition from sweets in the form of a school pen and a bouquet of flowers.
Such a gift would be appropriate on both Knowledge Day and Teacher’s Day. You can present it to the teacher with the words: “She only gives A’s!” When you give a student such a pen, wish him success in his studies. In general, a composition of sweets is a universal gift, and it always fits the theme!
Since we will be making a gift for the teacher with our own hands, prepare all the materials in advance:
- portioned chocolates (“Inspiration”, “Roshen” or oblong chocolates)
- cardboard tube from cling film/foil
- metallized corrugated paper blue
- hot melt adhesive
- Double-sided tape
- decor: beads, satin ribbons, nylon braid
- thin cardboard
Let's start by determining the length of the product - let's correlate it with the length of the chocolate bar. On the tube of chocolates we chose, there are three pieces in length + decor in the form of beads. We cut off the excess from the cardboard tube with a knife on a wooden board.
We make a bag out of thin cardboard (or even thick Whatman paper), attach the edges with glue - this is the nose part of our “ballpoint” pen.
We try it on a cardboard tube, make cuts along the edge and glue it. We decorate with white corrugated paper.
The thinner the tip of the pen, the smoother the first layer of chocolate will lie.
Then we wrap and glue blue metallic paper.
Now we hide the edge under the blue beads - we glue them with hot glue.
We place double-sided tape under the chocolate bars along the entire length of the pipe. When attaching, we alternate them with beads.
We try to place the chocolates strictly one below the other, without violating the vertical.
To make the chocolates hold better, we wrap them in the center with nylon braid - both fastening and decoration.
We close the end of the handle with a plug. It can be made from cork: we roll the thickness with paper, then cover it with blue metallized corrugated paper. We decorate the edge with beads.
For authenticity, the pen lacks a holder. We make it from a strip of thin cardboard wrapped in corrugated paper.
- We tuck the edge of the paper from the pen body inside the pipe, insert the tip of the holder and the plug (for glue) there.
To make a candy gift in the form of a pen look more presentable, you need a base for it. In our case, it’s just a rectangle of thick cardboard wrapped in gray corrugated paper.
- And as the final touch to the composition - a small bouquet of flowers made of white corrugated paper and blue loops made of satin ribbon.
So our gift is ready - a pen made of candies in blue and white tones. You can give such a pen to a man as well.
- All the best!
