It is enough to spend a little time on preparation, master some techniques and make your own gift with your own hands.
Gift meaning
Sweets are always considered a good present
Many people believe that it is much easier to choose a ready-made gift and buy it in a store, but this is not entirely correct. It’s much more pleasant to receive a luxurious heart made of candies, knowing that strength and soul were invested in this creation. In fact, it’s very easy to do it yourself, and it doesn’t take much time for the creative process.
The most important advantage of this technique is its versatility, since, knowing the main and basic elements, you can use them in different directions. You can always make a gift yourself for any holiday. This will not only save money and time searching for a gift, but will also give you confidence that your efforts will definitely bear fruit.

To know for what occasions such a candy heart is suitable, the master class for creating which we will show in this article, you need to consider the possible options for such fakes.
Of course, the very first option is to present such a heart to a loved one and not necessarily for a birthday. It can be an ordinary day, which will certainly sparkle with new colors for the one you are going to surprise and delight.
You can congratulate yourself on Valentine's Day in this way, since on this holiday everything should talk about love and attributes are required in the shape of a heart. If we talk about such a holiday as March 8, then such a gift will help to avoid long searches, since many men are faced with the problem of choosing a gift specifically for this holiday.
If we talk about gifts to loved ones and the most dear ones, it is not the cost of the gift that always plays a role, but attention. Such a heart will tell and show your attitude towards your family; this gift can convey the warmest and most tender feelings.
But such a heart can be used not only as a gift. Happy family holidays always involve equipping your home with beautiful attributes. If you make such a heart in the form of a wreath, it will not only decorate the room, but also bring maximum aesthetic pleasure.
Candy stand
Crafts from candies are easy to make with your own hands for any holiday. The most popular are bouquets of sweets. Any candy is suitable for creating bouquets, but it is easier to work with round and light-weight ones.
Bouquet of roses
Necessary materials:
- Candies 15-20 pieces
- Long skewers
- Corrugated paper in two colors for buds and green for petals
- Glue gun
- Scotch
- Threads
- Organza
- Satin ribbons
We cut blanks from corrugated paper for petals measuring 8*12 cm, fold the blanks in half and round the ends, forming petals. We secure the candies on the skewers with tape. We tightly twist the candy into the petal and secure it with thread at the base. We stretch the edge of the corrugation, forming petals.
From green paper we cut out small pieces 0.7 cm wide, about 10 cm high, round the ends with scissors. For each flower you will need 4-5 leaves, glue them to the base of the flower so that the leaves are slightly higher than the petals. For realism, slightly curl the ends of the leaves. We wrap the skewers up to the middle with green paper and secure them with glue.
We collect the resulting flowers into a bouquet in a spiral and tie them with ribbon. We turn the bouquet over and decorate it with corrugated paper, and tie the packages with thread. We decorate the bouquet with organza on top and tie it with satin ribbons.
Additionally, the bouquet can be decorated with beads and bows made of satin ribbons. Candy flowers can be placed in a basket.
Candy heart

- Styrofoam
- Skewers or toothpicks
- Candy flowers
- Glue
- Jewelry (beads, ribbons)
We take foam plastic 3 cm high to make the base, draw a heart on it and cut it out. We make flowers from candies according to the previous master class. Instead of long skewers, you can use toothpicks.
Glue corrugated paper to the resulting heart on both sides, use an awl to make holes and insert candy flowers. We decorate the edges of the heart with corrugated paper and organza, or tie it with a wide satin ribbon.
Sweet card
Necessary materials:
- Glue
- Thick cardboard
- Sweets and chocolates
- Colored paper
We select the size of the postcard ourselves, fold the cardboard in the shape of a book. For the base, instead of cardboard, you can use the cover of an old book. We write wishes on two sheets of paper of the required size and glue sweets; you can use white or colored paper.
We wrap the card-book with colored or wrapping paper, secure everything with glue, and paste sheets of wishes and sweets inside the card. We decorate the outside with beads and appliqués.
A postcard can be given not only for birthdays, but also to coincide with a themed holiday. Candies can be wrapped in colored paper, then they will resemble gift boxes.
Handmade gifts always delight the heart and eye; they speak of a special reverent attitude.
Candy crafts for children
For children, sweet gifts are made in the shape of animals or cars; such gifts are more complex. But with the help of step-by-step instructions, you can make a candy cake for children.
Two-tier candy cake
To prepare, you will need two round cardboard boxes of different diameters; you can make them yourself from cardboard, or use ready-made ones. The larger box will be the first tier of the cake, fill it with sweets and close it, place a smaller box on top and glue it. We also fill the insides with any sweets.
To decorate the ends you will need long candies of square or rectangular shape; we fix them in a circle with glue. The top of the cake can be decorated with small candies in multi-colored candy wrappers and small toys.
After the holidays there is always a lot of candy wrappers left over; they can be used for children's creativity or adult crafts. You can make simple Christmas tree decorations, colored appliques and much more from multi-colored candy wrappers.
Paper candy wrappers are suitable for creating origami figures, and snowflakes can be cut out from foil candy wrappers. Making crafts from candy wrappers will not only diversify children's creativity, but will also help save on materials.

Necessary materials
Candy heart: wedding present
The priority in this type of crafts can be considered that everything can be done based on different materials. Substitutions of certain materials are acceptable, since the types of counterfeits also differ in content.
- The necessary element is the frame of the heart itself. It may differ in size and volume, and the material itself will depend on this. For large and voluminous hearts, polystyrene foam or floral foam is suitable. If a small product is provided, then wire or cardboard can act as a frame.
- The next material that is needed for the heart is wrapping paper; it can be replaced with tulle or organza.
- Selection of sweets. Of course, the taste of the person to whom the heart is destined plays a big role here. But it is worth considering a small nuance: with a small heart size, large candies will not look very good. But this is not the most important factor. It is worth considering that cardboard, which serves as the base and frame, may not withstand the load. The weight ratio is also worth taking into account.
- For decoration you will need a ribbon, braid, you can also use lace.
- Skewers will be used to secure the candies, but you can also use toothpicks. You will also need double-sided tape or glue and scissors.
Basic operating principles
- The most necessary element that deserves special attention is the frame. Your entire further design will depend on which frame you choose;
- Styrofoam. This material is the most common because it is voluminous and durable. It will be most successful for large structures;
- Wire and cardboard are used mainly for small compositions;
- Paper. Corrugated paper is most suitable for forming flowers, but you can also use regular wrapping paper. And if you want your composition to be airy, then pay attention to tulle;
- Candies. Pay special attention to this point, try to choose exactly those candies that your recipient prefers, but do not forget about the weight category, since an unstable and thin frame may not withstand heavy loads;
- To attach the candies to the frame, get wooden skewers and double-sided tape. Also don't forget about the glue gun.
Using a stationery knife, cut out the workpiece to the desired size.
We cut out two parts from plain and corrugated paper according to the shape of the workpiece. We need this to decorate the base. Glue it.
In order to decorate the sides, cut out a strip about 5-6 cm thick and make a frill. And we glue it in the same way.

When the frame is ready, you can start decorating the candies.
There are a huge number of different ways to decorate these hearts: you can make flowers from corrugated paper, you can simply use toothpicks to secure our candies to the base. In this article, we will look at the first option.
Using tape, we attach the toothpicks to our candies.
These will be the cores of our future flowers.
Let's start making the petals. To do this, cut out blanks from paper.
From three identical blanks we cut out the petals as shown in the photo.
In order for them to become as graceful as flower petals, you need to wrap them around a toothpick and lightly press them with your fingers.
From rectangular blanks we fold an accordion and cut it out as follows.
As in the previous step, twist it onto a toothpick and shape it into a petal.
Now you can start assembling the flower.
We attach the finished flowers to the base using a glue gun.
If you want to add a little greenery and airiness, stock up on organza and mesh. We cut out squares of the same size from them, attach them to a toothpick in the following way:
And we also attach it to the base.
This is such a miracle we achieved. Agree, it’s hard to resist such a sweet, romantic gift.
As you can see, this work does not take much time and effort, you can use completely different candies and materials to decorate them, use your imagination and act.
Heart options: wire base
Heart made of sweets and fresh flowers
As already mentioned, light and small candies are better suited for such a base. Everyone chooses the heart size to their own taste. Both very small and large sizes are allowed. If the candies are large, the main thing is to fix them well, this will give stability to the structure.
The first thing to do is bend the wire into a heart shape. Wrap the area where the ends of the wire meet with tape. There are two options for securing the candies themselves. In the first, the candies are attached directly to the wire with ribbon and then decorated. In the second version, the heart shape is first wrapped with ribbon as a base. Then, using small ribbons, the candies are secured to the structure. Any decoration can be used. Elements of lace between the candies will look good; this will add volume and a festive mood to the gift.
For decoration you can use bows and serpentine. Contrasting colors look good. For your loved one, you can use red, burgundy, pink colors. If the heart is intended for decorating an apartment, different options are possible. It is possible to perform in one color scheme, but use small elements in a different bright tone.
DIY candy heart
A candy heart made with your own hands for a loved one will be a very pleasant surprise for any holiday. Its production will not take much time, and the effect after delivery will exceed all your expectations!
Before you make a heart out of candy, you need to make a heart-shaped blank from thick foam.
DIY candy heart
The simplest and most accessible option for everyone is to use the foam backing that remains at the bottom of boxes of household appliances. Having cut out a neat foam heart with a stationery knife, you can continue making a heart out of candy. Photos depicting all stages of the work process will definitely help with this!
Foam heart
First of all, the foam heart will need to be wrapped in a thin red cloth or fairly strong wrapping paper.
Wrapping the heart
We glue the edges so that the wrapper does not slip on the foam. You can secure them with duct tape or safety pins. It’s even more convenient to use narrow double-sided tape.
Secure the wrapper with double-sided tape
We take the red mesh and string it onto a thin rubber band or thread, gathering it slightly.
Collecting the red grid
We attach this frill to a foam heart and secure it with double-sided tape.
Glue the mesh
In the same way we string thin white fabric or mesh.
Collecting white fabric
Using the same double-sided tape, we attach it over the red mesh so that the edge protrudes slightly.
Glue white fabric
We tie a beautiful satin ribbon on top and tie its ends into a lush bow. To prevent the tape from slipping, we also secure it with double-sided tape.
We tie the heart with a ribbon
We have just a wonderful basis for a future gift!
Gift basis
Now we collect delicious candies in the most colorful wrappers and begin to attach them to the surface of the heart. We use regular double-sided tape for this.
Glue the candies
First, attach the candies along the edge of the heart. If the candies are small and the heart is large, then lay out the next row. If the candies are large enough, one row may be enough. The middle should remain free.
Cardboard base
Heart made of flower candies
It is very easy to work with such a base as cardboard; heart options of different shapes and volumes are possible. This can be a cut out contour part, then the product will be processed in the same way as from wire. Maybe it will be a solid piece of cardboard, not hollow inside. With this option, you need to draw a heart on cardboard and cut it out.
One important difference will be the size, since very thick cardboard can be used to make large structures. If the cardboard is not very dense, you should stick to small sizes.
After the base is ready, it should be prepared for decoration. To do this, cardboard is covered with any paper, foil, you can use corrugated paper. Since such a heart is often used to decorate rooms, it is supposed to be mounted on a wall. To do this, a ribbon is attached at the top of the heart.
First, decorate the base; any material is suitable for this. Tulle and organza look beautiful; they add volume to the heart. Beautiful bright satin ribbons are best suited for this option; everything is secured with glue or tape. When the heart is ready, you need to attach the candies.
It is better to use tape for fastening, but you can also use glue. The little secret is that when the whole process is completed, but you don’t like something in the overall appearance, you can always quietly correct the defects with simple decorative elements.
The base of the heart is polystyrene foam
It's not difficult to make a heart out of candy.
The execution of the heart using a base such as polystyrene foam has a very noble and dignified appearance. This heart is perfect as a gift for a special occasion. To complete this you will need a blank made of cardboard, but before cutting it out, it is worth adding the size of the side throughout the entire volume.
Therefore, first you should decide on the size of the heart itself and cut it out of polystyrene foam. Then add the width to the contour line on the cardboard, but you should also add the width of the side.
If you want to make a tall and voluminous heart, but the width of the foam is small, you can make two or even three layers. The foam is attached very well to each other, so no one will notice this little thing. But this should be taken into account when cutting and measuring cardboard.
The next step is to attach the two parts; corrugated paper is suitable for this. A side is made from cardboard, wrapped around foam, and everything is tightly covered with paper.
Often such bases are filled not only with sweets; you can also use flowers for decoration. Various decorative elements can be easily attached to the foam using skewers or toothpicks. If the heart is large, you can use large elements for decoration, the heart will look amazing.
Sweet Hearts MK – Millinda
February has begun, which means Valentine's Day is approaching. Although this is not a native Russian holiday, more and more people celebrate it every year. They give all kinds of valentines and of course sweets. What if we combine? Let's give your other half a sweet and beautiful Valentine's card.
As usual, we will need a base, candy, crepe paper, organza, beads, satin ribbon, toothpicks and a glue gun to put it all together. Cut out a heart from polystyrene foam.
We cut out a strip of crepe paper and wrap it around the perimeter of the heart. Decorate with ribbon (not shown in this photo yet).
I wanted to make a heart with two types of flowers, and two types of candy, respectively. I made simple flowers from candies with two tails. Simple because they are easy to do. We attach the candy by one tail to a toothpick. From corrugated paper we cut out a strip in height slightly higher than the candy, the length depends on the splendor of the flower. The more revolutions, the more magnificent the flower will be.
Glue the strip around the candy, gathering it slightly. Stretch the edges.
To decorate the void, take organza and cut it into 15x15 cm squares. Round the edges a little.
I’ll brag a little bit, I bought myself a floral organza. It costs twice as much and the edges don’t fray.
But there are also disadvantages, in my opinion, it is more transparent than simple tulle organza and stiffer.
Use a toothpick with candy to pierce the square in the middle and insert it into the base.
Additionally, we also make filler for decoration.
Separately glue 10x10 cm squares onto a toothpick and insert them between the candies.
With other candies we make lilies. I have already talked about them in detail. Now the heart is ready, decorate it with beads. Size 30x30cm.
And one more heart for example, although here the heart turned out to be pot-bellied and fluffy.
