New Year's topiary made from candies

Winter holidays are simply unthinkable without New Year's sweet gifts - sweets, fragrant Christmas pastries, tangerines and other goodies. And this is a fact, because not only children, but also adults adore such delicacies. If among your friends or relatives there are those who cannot remain indifferent at the sight of sweets, then, taking this point into account, it will be easier for you to decide on the choice of gifts for them. A do-it-yourself gift of sweets for the New Year 2021 in the form of topiary will cause a storm of positive emotions. It looks quite appetizing and at the same time beautiful, just like in the photo. Believe me, this is a win-win for those with a sweet tooth. So let's get started.

To work you will need:

• candies;
• foam ball;
• scissors or knife;
• foam glue;
• trunk in the form of a stick or even branch;
• flower pot;
• gypsum;
• decorative elements: beautiful paper, beads, satin ribbons, rhinestones, pine cones, Christmas balls, bows, artificial greenery.

Progress:

1. For the base we will need a foam ball, but if you don’t have one, then you can freely purchase a floral ball at a flower shop. It also makes excellent use in this work. Let's start decorating our ball. To do this, take candies in a beautiful shiny wrapper and, using special foam glue, tightly attach them to each other, covering the entire circumference.
2. Next, we need to prepare the gypsum solution as indicated on its packaging.
3. Having made the fixing base, we transfer it to the flower pot of your choice.
4. We insert our trunk from a branch or just a flat wooden stick into a decorated foam ball, which we previously prepared by making a small hole in it with a knife for future fasteners. We secure the whole thing with special glue for polystyrene foam.
5. We insert the finished tree into the gypsum solution located in the flower pot. If your topiary container is quite heavy, then instead of plaster, you can use polyurethane foam.
6. Let's start decorating our New Year's gift. To do this, we take out everything we have from our secret drawers. These are bows, beads, rhinestones, satin ribbons, tulle nets, Christmas tree accessories, the whole range of natural materials, for example, cones, spruce branches, pine trees and much more. We transform our topiary according to personal tastes using glue. By the way, don’t forget to decorate the top of the flower pot with your own hands, hiding the plaster base. To do this, it is recommended to use artificial floral greenery, rain, tinsel, colored pebbles, beads of various diameters or other materials available to you. And instead of ordinary candies, multi-colored tasty marshmallows, colorful chewy sweets of various shapes and even marmalade will look interesting in a shiny candy wrapper. Fantasize, find a creative approach and you will certainly succeed in this creative activity.

Admire our photo ideas on this topic, and it will be easier for you to decide on the style of your future holiday souvenir for the New Year 2021.

We hope you find our video tutorial useful.

What are the advantages of the suite technique

The suite technique is very common in the field of gift products. Ready-made gifts will have the following advantages:

• the gift will remain individual. You can always discuss with the manufacturer all questions regarding appearance, shade, additional decor;
• unique. You won’t find such a present anywhere, so you can be sure that no one will present exactly the same bouquet;
• can be stored for a long time. Fresh flowers quickly lose their attractive appearance, but an artificial gift will last longer and even become a kind of room decor;
• such a gift will be remembered for a long time and will evoke pleasant emotions in the recipient. A colorful present will evoke memories;
• the present turns out to be effective: it contains beauty, practicality and unusualness, and if the types of candies are correctly collected, then it also tastes.

On a note! When decorating a gift in a suite style, we try to use those shades and decorative elements that the recipient will like.

Materials that will be useful for decoration

To make gifts, the most common and inexpensive list of materials is used. These include:

• packaging or cling film. Small parts of bouquets are made from this material. There are many options for wrapping: glossy, matte, with or without print. All of them are used to give the finished presentation a presentation;
• corrugated paper. This element is considered the basis of any design in applied art. Also used in suite design. In order to beautifully organize some decorative details, you may need several different shades;
• flexible and rigid wire. Ideally copper or steel. This is necessary for the formation of a strong frame, interesting forms of decorations at the base of “delicious” bouquets;
• net. Typically this material is made on a fabric basis and may have different sizes of weaves and irregularly shaped holes. This material is quite elastic and is often used for finishing edging of bouquets;
• organza. The thin mesh material is very comfortable and original. It is used both for large-scale decoration using the suite design technique, and for some fragments. Thanks to its airy structure, it is easy to create masterpieces in the form of buds and petals;
• other fabrics. It can be tulle, veil or any other. It all depends strictly on preferences and taste preferences. With its help, you can create interesting embroideries, cut beautifully, and arrange a designer bouquet;
• satin ribbons. They will be needed for embroidery on frames, as well as for fastening some parts of the “sweet bouquet”. Various weaves are often created from these fragments;
• Styrofoam. Also used for final decoration. Placed on a wire, it creates interesting stamens and snowflakes (if it’s a New Year’s gift). It can also form the basis of the frame of a product using the suite design technique;
• sisal fiber. It is a multi-colored lump with thin threads. The natural material is based on agave leaves.

In addition to these raw material options, others can be used. It all depends on what the final model of the product should be.

Christmas tree made of candies

If you don’t know what you can make from candies for the New Year 2020, try creating a Christmas tree. This will be an unusual New Year's gift, made by yourself. It is simple to perform and, accordingly, will not take much of your time and effort. With a little imagination, you will get the same beauty as in our photo. Get started with this work quickly.

To work you will need:

• adhesive tape (scotch tape);
• scissors;
• an empty champagne bottle or paper cone;
• top for the future Christmas tree;
• candies.

Progress:

1. We measure the circumference of our cone or bottle and prepare the same piece of adhesive tape (this will need to be done along the height of the entire cone). Now we glue our candies to it by the tails.
2. Attach the resulting strip of tape with sweets to the bottle. Please note that the elements of the bottom layer should hang down a little.
3. Similarly, we make the next row with our own hands, and attach it a little higher so that the lower tails of these sweets are located between the sweets of the lower row.
4. Thus, we need to stick around the entire cone. If you use a bottle as the base of the product, then place the top of the head in the place of the former cork.
5. If desired, you can decorate the Christmas tree with tinsel.

Such a beautiful and, at the same time, delicious New Year's gift will not leave anyone standing on the sidelines. For New Year 2021, do not be lazy to create such gifts, because they will so touch and amuse your loved ones that the holiday will turn into a real celebration in such a positive mood.

New Year's candy clock

To find an interesting and unusual approach to creating New Year's gifts, you should think carefully and review a number of third-party ideas on this topic. However, we decided to help you save your precious time on the eve of the New Year 2021 and provide you with an excellent idea for making your own present in the form of a watch made using corrugated paper and candies, decorated with rain, rhinestones, beads and complemented by entire New Year's compositions. After studying our photo, immediately begin creative work in order to have time to produce everything as expected and on time.

To work you will need:

• corrugated paper;
• white or gold cardboard;
• glue gun;
• foil;
• New Year's decor (of your choice);
• chocolate or caramel candies in the form of a long stick, for example, “Conafetto” from Roshen.

Manufacturing process:

1. In order to make a beautiful watch, like in the photo, you must first make all the parts that make it up. And to do this, you need to take white cardboard, or you can use golden cardboard, and use a compass to display on it two circles of the desired size, corresponding to your future New Year's gift. This will be our dial and the back wall of the clock.
2. Next, cut them out with scissors and wrap them in gold crepe paper. If you have colored cardboard, then you shouldn’t waste your time on this, leave everything as it is.
3. Having set aside the two formed cardboard parts, we begin to create the side parts of our mechanism. To do this, we again take cardboard and cut out a rectangular strip from it, the size of the circle we made earlier. Wrap it in gold foil.
4. Our next step is to assemble our manufactured parts. We take one circle and, having smeared its edges along the entire circumference with glue, immediately attach a rectangular strip to it, closing it into a kind of ring. Then we complete our design with the help of a second circle, which is also placed on top of the resulting ring with hot glue.
5. After our product has dried, we begin to decorate it, turning it into a fabulous souvenir made with our own hands for the New Year 2021. Here our long-shaped candies will be used, which must be attached with hot glue to the side of the clock, covering its entire circumference. After completing this stage, you should tie the side of our product with a satin ribbon for an aesthetic appearance, fixing it with glue.
6. Let's start designing the dial. We take out all kinds of beads, rhinestones and start creating.
7. We decorate the finished clock with a New Year's composition consisting of rain, spruce branches, artificial berries of variegated colors, small Christmas tree balls, etc. Your New Year's gift should look perfect, neat and unique. To do this, we advise you to look through our selection of photo ideas, and you will discover a lot of interesting and original things.

New Year's set of candies

If you have small boxes lying around your house that you can’t find a use for, then select the neatest one among all and bring it to life by creating a do-it-yourself candy gift for the New Year 2021 from it, which will look like a beautiful holiday set. You have the right to decorate it the way you want: with rain, fir branches, New Year's toys, pine cones and other accessories. Such a New Year's gift can be made very quickly, even a few hours before the holiday. The main thing is to buy delicious and beautiful candies in advance. This is a great option for those who don’t have any time to make gifts. Having examined our souvenir shown in the photo, we begin immediate work.

For production you will need:

• round box (other shapes are also acceptable);
• blue corrugated paper;
• satin ribbons;
• foam glue;
• hot glue;
• artificial or live spruce branches;
• Christmas balls of different sizes;
• foil;
• gift paper;
• delicious and beautiful sweets (round and oblong);
• corrugated cardboard;
• gift ribbon;
• Styrofoam;
• toothpicks;
• double-sided tape.

Manufacturing process:

1. First, let's put our box in a proper elegant look. For this we need blue corrugated paper. Having measured our box, we cut off the required amount of material and paste it over our cardboard box, also capturing its bottom. For a better effect, we decorate our product with a satin ribbon and, if desired, a bow.
2. Now it's time to start collecting content. At the bottom of the box we place round foam plastic, which will serve as the basis for securing decorative elements in it. To keep it firmly in place, place it on hot glue.
3. Having prepared the spruce branches, we begin to carefully insert them around the entire perimeter of the foam, in which we previously made small holes for this. In order for the branches to hold securely, they must also be fixed with a special glue for polystyrene foam.
4. Having taken out the necessary decorative accessories, such as Christmas tree balls, large beads, gift and satin bows, we proceed to arranging them on a foam base in the order you please. We secure everything with foam glue.
5. It is advisable to wrap the candies that are part of our New Year's gift in gold or silver foil, making peculiar tails that need to be decorated with gift ribbons. And only after that, place it on a toothpick and insert it into the overall composition.
6. Small souvenir boxes that you should make yourself from corrugated cardboard will also look interesting in our craft. Look carefully at our photo and you will understand how to do this.
7. Ready-made gift boxes should be attached to the base using double-sided tape. Our New Year's set should be voluminous, without voids or flaws. Only in such an ideal form will all our relatives and friends like it.
