How to make a piano out of candy with your own hands

The time is approaching the New Year, and many have probably already installed a festive tree and decorated their apartment. Inviting friends over, playing the piano can be a great way to spend time with like-minded people. But what to do if there is no piano in the house? It's no secret that a beautiful piano also serves as a luxurious decorative element. If you don’t have enough space in your apartment for such an instrument, I offer an elegant solution - a piano made of candy. Of course, you won’t be able to play on it, but it’s easy to surprise your friends!

In addition, such a delicious chocolate piano will be a wonderful gift for a person whose life is connected with music. On the eve of the holidays, the problem of original gifts comes to the fore. You can spend a lot of money on a gift that turns out to be unnecessary. Or you can make a gift with your own hands. Such a surprise will definitely be bright and will remain in the memory, because attention is something that has been valued at all times!

The size of such a piano will be about 40 x 40 cm. This piano can be made in different colors, depending on who you are going to present it to.

Step-by-step master class on making a piano from candy

Before moving on to the step-by-step process of creating an original gift, we list the necessary materials and “ingredients”:

foam sheet 2 cm thick;
3 small bottles of Rastishka or other yoghurts;
corrugated cardboard (any color);
braid, lace or other decorative elements;
a piece of guipure;
3 wooden skewers;
black and white paper;
Double-sided tape;
glue;
scissors;
paper flowers (if you have time and desire, you can make them yourself);
of course, a variety of sweets.

Don't rush to throw away your old piano

What to do with an old piano that is no longer good for anything, there are no students who go to music school in the house, and it only accumulates dust and takes up space. Throw it away? — it seems a pity for such a beautiful body, and memory is precious. Convert into a bar or cabinet? - banal and not modern.

I propose to turn it into a computer workstation into a stylish, functional and modern interior detail.

This is what we had at the beginning, a donor piano, so to speak.

Manufacturing, in principle, is not difficult if you have basic skills in working with a hacksaw, hammer and drill.

First, we remove all the insides, if they are still there, from the donor.

Then we need to make a box where the monitor will be located and where the keyboard will be retracted. It's not difficult - we buy a sheet of plywood, cut it to size, assemble it with screws and install it into the body.

The most difficult part is making the hinged front cover. This requires two swivel brackets (we buy them at a furniture store) and a lot of patience to fit them in place. It is necessary to ensure that the front wall moves up without touching anything, slowly and safely for the insides. If you succeed, consider it done.

Once the design of the box and the folding front wall is working, we move on to the upholstery. The material chosen was leatherette to match the piano. The upholstery was done on the assembled structure using furniture nails with wide convex heads. The job is similar to covering a door with leatherette. To prevent the material from repeating all the irregularities, fabric was placed under it - an old bedspread. You cut it in place, attach it with a stapler and then nail it. In some places you can make decorative elements and patterns from nails.

Let's start making a candy gift:

We cut out the base from penoplex. You can draw the shape yourself or find a sample on the Internet. The optimal size is approximately 30x35 centimeters, but this depends on the size of the candies that will serve as keys.

Step-by-step instruction

So, to make a candy piano, you will need:

Actually, the candies themselves. For keys, oblong candies in white and black packages will be good. It’s great if there is an element of gold on the candy wrappers, then the festive piano will look more luxurious.
For the base of the piano you need polystyrene foam (you can take regular polystyrene foam), superglue, thick and loose cardboard, self-adhesive paper (Oracal), or better yet, double-sided tape.
Empty Actimel yogurt jars are best for piano legs.
As additional decorations, you can give free rein to your imagination. Anything goes: flowers (real or artificial), ruffles, printed miniature notes.

The size of such a piano will be about 40 x 40 cm. This piano can be made in different colors, depending on who you are going to present it to.

Step-by-step instruction

So, to make a candy piano, you will need:

Actually, the candies themselves. For keys, oblong candies in white and black packages will be good. It’s great if there is an element of gold on the candy wrappers, then the festive piano will look more luxurious.
For the base of the piano you need polystyrene foam (you can take regular polystyrene foam), superglue, thick and loose cardboard, self-adhesive paper (Oracal), or better yet, double-sided tape.
Empty Actimel yogurt jars are best for piano legs.
As additional decorations, you can give free rein to your imagination. Anything goes: flowers (real or artificial), ruffles, printed miniature notes.

When getting started, you first need to glue the base on which the candies will be held. To do this, we cut out the necessary parts from penoplex/foam plastic.

Then we put together all the parts of the base and secure them with superglue. Don't be afraid if the body turns out to be uneven - the candies will hide all the flaws. If there are still large recesses, you can carefully cover them with loose cardboard.

We carefully cut out holes for the legs equal to the diameter of the neck of the yogurt bottle. We insert the bottles there, securing them with superglue.

We paste the resulting blank with oracal of any color. Classic options - white and black - are always in use. We paint the legs of the piano.

When creating the keys, we first lay out another strip of white candies so that in the end the black ones are shorter. Candies must be glued with double-sided tape.

After the keys are ready, you need to paste over the body of the piano in the same way.

When the main work is done, cut out the lid from thick cardboard, cover it with oracal to match the piano and secure it with any thin tube. Under the lid you can decorate with flowers, ruffles, beads or other beautiful little things. By the way, flowers can also be made yourself if you are determined to complete a homemade gift from start to finish. If inspiration strikes you and you decide to be realistic in the details, you can glue miniature notes to the music stand.

Natalya Petskus showed how to make such a candy piano. Thanks to her for the wonderful idea brought to life!

This gift is universal in that it is suitable not only for musicians, but also for those with a sweet tooth. But you must admit: there are very few people in the world who don’t like chocolate!

I also recommend looking at another option on how to make a piano out of candy with your own hands!

Marina Kolomicheva

"Autumn Blues" Bouquet of sweets (master class)

I would like to offer you a master class on making a piano for a bouquet of candies, which I called “ Autumn Blues ,” such a bouquet can be presented to a vocal teacher, music teacher for Teacher’s Day, or to any musician. my bouquet of sweets not only with sweets , but also with fresh flowers. To make a piano, we will need a sheet of thin foam plastic - this is the one that is used to cover ceilings, a self-adhesive film, I took red, 3 actimel bottles for the legs, gold corrugated paper, gold cord for decorating, candy , wire, gold spray paint, wooden kebab stick, plain and double-sided tape, glue gun. And so we begin to make a piano for a bouquet of sweets “ Autumn Blues ”

We cut out the parts from foam plastic, having previously made a pattern of the parts from paper, the size of the piano can be different, I made it small, so that it would fit on a box of chocolates .

We glue the parts with self-adhesive tape, also by making patterns first.

Using a glue gun, we begin to glue the parts of the piano together.

We cut the actimel bottles and make legs from the halves, paint them with gold spray paint and glue them to our piano

We'll get something like this:

We begin to decorate our piano using corrugated paper and decorative cord, pre-print the keyboard according to the size of the piano and glue it with wide tape, this is how you can make sheet music

We decorate a kebab stick that will hold the piano lid

We take candies with which we will decorate the piano

Using double-sided tape, secure the candies to the piano

Let's make a music holder for our piano, take a chocolate bar and a thin wire, I painted it gold

We insert the chocolate into the wire and fix it on the piano

In approximately the same way we will make a chair from wire and chocolate

We secure the legs with tape

Next we will decorate the box of chocolates on which we will install the piano, we will use white corrugated paper, a thin red satin ribbon, a pen with gold paste, and other decorative material

We make a border out of paper and paint the edge with gold paste.

And we decorate with the available material

When I installed the piano on the box, I didn’t like how it all looked together, the composition didn’t fit together, so I remade it and decorated the box with artificial autumn leaves using double tape, so I like it much better. But I decided to show you this option for decorating the box and it may be useful for another composition. Then we place a container with fresh flowers in the piano, which we secure in a floral sponge, I chose the simplest flowers that grow in any garden, I also placed candies , securing them with double tape. And it turned out to be a bouquet of sweets “ Autumn Blues ”

We pack it in transparent paper and our gift “ Autumn Blues ” candies

“ Autumn Blues master class was previously published on my personal website “Grandma M’s good advice with my own hands”

Treble clef - MK | Country of Masters

Completed treble clef

Twist a treble clef of the required size from stiff wire.

Secure the intersections of the wire with thinner wire so that the key holds its shape.

Cut any wrapping paper approximately 1.5 cm in size and wrap it around the frame.

This is what happened after winding.

Tie candies (any kind, preferably not too heavy, so that the frame does not bend) with a ribbon, which we will tie to the base.

Pierce the medal candies with a needle, stretching the ribbon

Tie the main candies evenly with ribbons to the frame. To prevent them from dangling, glue them with hot glue.

Secure the medals between the candies. The sweet treble clef is ready.

This original sweet gift is intended for my friend for the New Year. She loves sweets very much and is also a musician. The idea was taken from here: https://club.osinka.ru/topic-58960?p=2357308&highlight=#2357308

Production time is approximately 1 hour.
