Creating a simple composition
Before starting work, it is important to understand how the bouquet should turn out. Based on the idea, a list of available materials is compiled. Chupa Chups themselves will be required in large quantities. It is also advisable to have floral tape or tape, corrugated paper or special gift film.
Decorative elements are important for jewelry. They can be small toys, decorative plant elements. To assemble the entire composition, you may need foam plastic and thin wooden sticks. When all the details are thought out, you can get to work.
From Chupa Chupsov
To create a bouquet of sweets with your own hands for beginners, you will need lollipops, floral tape, small soft toys, and corrugated paper.
This candy bouquet is suitable for beginners as it is quite simple to create. You need to do the following:
- Attach an additional stick to each candy using floral tape.
- Collect all the Chupa Chups in a bunch.
- Toys can be attached to additional sticks as decoration.
- Wrap the entire composition in paper. It makes a beautiful bouquet.
Using the same available materials, you can make a bouquet of Chupa Chups with your own hands in the form of daisies. You will need white corrugated paper for this. Flower petals should be cut out of it in the form of a round fence. The resulting blanks are attached to the candies with floral tape.
When each Chupa Chups is decorated in the shape of a flower, all the candies should be collected in a bunch and decorative elements should be added to the composition. Chupa Chups can also be used to decorate a juice cake, which young children love so much.
From chocolate eggs
For such a bouquet that little girls will like, you need round-shaped foam. It must be put on some kind of leg to form a base. You need to attach a toothpick to each candy on a stick and insert the structure into the base. The main thing is that there are gaps between sweets.
Kinder surprises, using tape or thin tape, must be attached to small sticks and inserted into existing gaps. When the entire base is covered with sweets, wrap the entire composition in corrugated paper.
Sweet arrangements of lollipops
The candy from Catalonia has many advantages. Its main advantage is the stick, which neither Kinder Surprise nor chocolates from the Italian manufacturer Ferrero, which are also often used in sweet design, have. When creating a bouquet of lollipops with your own hands, you do not need to attach the lollipops to skewers or toothpicks, as is usually done with other candies. Thus, time is saved, and the result is much more accurate.
The price of the product is also attractive, especially in combination with eye-catching packaging and a variety of flavors. The suite gift will be budget-friendly, but this will not in any way affect its appearance or value for the recipient.
An arrangement of colorful candies is a great way to please a child. It can be supplemented with a small plush toy or other gift. A sweet bouquet is also suitable for a date with a girl; it will successfully replace ordinary flowers, which not everyone loves. The chosen one will definitely appreciate such a creative and practical surprise.
For Valentine's Day
Of course, candy-flower arrangements can be given not only on February 14, but also at any time when you want to demonstrate your tender feelings and pamper your soulmate.
In addition to the “edible part” you will need:
- tissue paper (quiet) in three nuanced shades, for example, soft lilac, magenta and violet;
- cardboard;
- paper cocktail straws;
- scissors, narrow tape.
From cardboard we cut out a rectangle with a width equal to the diameter of the lollipop and about 2 times longer. Conventionally, we divide it in half horizontally. We cut one part into fringe, and leave the other whole. We wrap the candy with a cardboard strip - this is a rigid base for the pound of tishu, which will be placed on top. And at the same time the stamens of the future flower bud. Secure the cardboard with tape.
Cut out a square with a side of 12 cm from tissue paper.
We assemble the workpiece as shown in the step-by-step photo below. The pink “flower” is a square folded 4 times, and the lilac one 5 times. We thread the “leg” of the candy through the center of the paper blank. We form a flower around the candy, wrapping the free edge around the upper part of the “stem”, pressing it tightly and securing it with tape.
Next, cut out a 15x15 cm square from purple paper and repeat the same steps, only fold the workpiece 5 times. We string the next layer of “petals” onto the “leg” and secure it with tape. It turns out to be a double “skirt”. Our flower is ready.
All that remains is to make it a long beautiful stem. Place a paper cocktail straw over the candy “leg,” carefully covering the taped paper with silence.
It is advisable to make flowers in different color variations so that the arrangement as a whole looks more picturesque. Next, they are assembled into a composition using the linear technique, that is, they simply connect the “stems” tubes to each other and tie them with a satin ribbon. It turns out to be a very sweet and touching sign of attention.
Congratulations to the boy
Children do not like to hold something in their hands for a long time, so it is better to present them with a hand-made bouquet of lollipops in a pot or vase. It will turn out doubly wonderful: both a surprise for the birthday boy and a decoration for his room.
You will need:
- 30 – 45 lollipops;
- blue quiet paper in a roll (1 m);
- blue packing tape;
- foam ball, D12 cm;
- large cardboard glass or plastic flower pot;
- self-adhesive foil or blue satin ribbon;
- scissors.
The shade of paper in silence can be any. Since the gift is addressed to a boy, blue was chosen; pink tones are more suitable for a girl.
First, we will cut the blanks for the pound cakes that will be used to decorate the candies. We need squares with a side of 10 cm. Their number corresponds to the number of candies.
Fold the square in four and cut a small hole in the center for the stick. We thread candy into it. Let's connect the opposite corners of the square and wrap the resulting pound around the lollipop. Secure with packing tape and tie a graceful bow.
Place the foam ball in a pot or glass of slightly smaller diameter. And we decorate with candy “flowers”, placing them as close as possible so that the base is not visible. The longer we leave the stick holder, the more magnificent and voluminous the bouquet composition will be.
The pot can be covered with strips of foil or decorated with a satin ribbon. It should not differ in color and style from the suite arrangement. If the pot is light and tips over under a too voluminous candy ball, it is filled with pebbles or cereal.
Such a bright and tasty gift will be remembered by the birthday boy for a long time.
Surprise for March 8
A delicate spring composition of lollipops will delight no less than traditional lilies of the valley or tulips. It is done quickly, requires minimal costs, and looks very impressive.
You will need:
- candies of several varieties for a variety of color and taste;
- foam ball D12 - 15 cm, cardboard sleeve from cooking paper or foil;
- crepe of two colors, for example, green and light green or sea green;
- organza, satin ribbons of two colors;
- scissors, heat gun.
Cut the foam ball in half. Place the sleeve in the center of the flat part and press firmly until a sufficiently deep hole is obtained. We cut the “legs” of the candies to a length of 2–3 cm. We distribute the “treat” over the hemisphere, trying to leave as little free space as possible.
From organza we cut out squares with a side of 5 cm and, collecting them in our hands like a pound stick, glue them between the lollipops. This way we not only cover the foam base, but also give the composition airiness. We make bows from ribbons and place them on top of organza buns, imitating decorative greenery.
The arrangement is almost ready. Glue the sleeve into the previously prepared hole. We cut out a rectangle from the crepe, the width of which should be greater than the height of the sweet bouquet. We stretch the paper slightly, giving it a convex shape, and pinch the edge to create small waves. We wrap the arrangement so that all the fasteners are inside the package, and the “sweet” hemisphere rises above it. We fix the edges of the crepe using a heat gun. From paper of a different color, cut out a rectangle slightly smaller than the first one and make another layer of packaging. We decorate the handle with a narrow crepe ribbon. At the end we tie the accessory with a satin braid.
If desired, such a composition can be decorated with crepe flowers, plush toys or other decor. Then the bouquet of lollipops described in this step-by-step master class will look like this:
Gift for your loved one
Instead of decorative paper, you can use cupcake liners to make flowers.
You will need:
- "chupa chups";
- multi-colored paper baking dishes;
- bamboo skewers;
- decorative wrapping paper, satin ribbons;
- scissors.
Cupcake tins are perfect for flower making. They already have a beautiful corrugation, which gives the petals liveliness and naturalness.
We will make the “stems” from bamboo skewers, using them to lengthen the “leg” of the flower. Consistently fold the paper mold in half, repeating the process 4 times.
We round the top of the resulting segment in the form of a chamomile or gerbera petal. When we open the blank again, we get an elegant flower. We insert the “lollipop” into the middle, having previously pierced the hole with an awl or the sharp ends of scissors.
We give the flower a natural shape by squeezing it at the base and slightly ruffling the petals. We wrap the paper with tape on the back side so that it does not move. We make the required number of flowers. We collect them in a bouquet in a spiral to make the “cap” voluminous. If desired, you can tape the stems with a strip of green crepe paper. It is wound diagonally, slightly pulling for a better fit. And then lubricate with an aqueous solution of PVA.
Fold two squares of decorative wrapping paper diagonally. We wrap the arrangement in them and fasten them first with tape and then with satin ribbon.
You can completely cover the wooden skewers with a piece of fabric or the same decorative paper. Here's the cute accessory we ended up with:
Two iconic delicacies in one bouquet
If a mono bouquet of lollipops is not enough, you can “enrich” the assortment by adding another popular sweet – “Kinder Surprise”. A chocolate with a toy that will become the “nail” of the suite composition will need a “leg”. It is made from wire or a wooden skewer, and the candy is secured using cling film. Nobody bothers you to add other sweets, at the discretion of the donor.
A multi-component arrangement is best assembled in a decorative box or basket. A truly exquisite gift will be made if you “hide” the delicacies in handmade flowers made of corrugated paper. The material allows you to make incredibly realistic buds of various shapes, but you need to remember that in this case you should prefer large roses, ranunculus or tulips, so that it is easy to get sweets out of them without damaging the petals.
Some flowers can be made closed and without candy “filling”. It is best to collect all the components at piaflor. Artificial branches of greenery and berries will “revive” paper floristry.
Holiday gift
An original handmade bouquet will be suitable as a gift for a special celebration. It will take some time to make, but the recipient will appreciate the result.
The following materials are needed:
- 7−9 candies;
- the same number of bamboo sticks;
- a square measuring 50x50 cm made of corrugated yellow paper;
- heat gun;
- 50 cm each of yellow and lilac tulle;
- 50 cm lilac satin ribbon;
- 10 white beads;
- double-sided and regular wide tape;
- packaging of any decorations, for example snowflakes;
- green and white ribbon for flowers.
To obtain a more lush composition, the amount of consumables can be increased. Small size Chupa Chups are best suited for a bouquet.
The step-by-step instructions are as follows:
- Attach a bamboo stick to the base of the candy and secure it with tape.
- Take the green ribbon and tie it to the base. Cut off the resulting tip.
- Wrap the ribbon tightly around the stick, leaving no gaps. Secure the tip using a heat gun.
- Repeat steps 1 - 3 with each candy.
- Then cut a 15x15 cm square from lilac tulle. To get more lush flowers, you can take more fabric.
- A similar square should be made from yellow tulle. Depending on the number of flowers in the bouquet, there may be more squares.
- Place a candy in the center of each square of fabric. Make a hole in the middle and thread the stem through it.
- Fold the edges of the fabric. Secure the tulle with a satin ribbon. The resulting petals should be higher than the candies themselves.
- You can glue decorations to the petals.
- The result is the first flower from the bouquet. The remaining elements of the composition are made using the same scheme.
- Make a composition from the resulting flowers. Bandage with the remaining tulle.
- Wrap the bouquet with yellow fabric and secure it at the base.
- Wrap everything in corrugated paper.
- Wind the composition with thread, trim the ends.
- Decorate the gift with the remaining decorative elements.
