Practical tips for creating a bouquet
The decorative part of the gift bouquet got its name for a reason. There is no need to strictly observe the proportions and ornament of the flower bud. The most important principles to work with are to firmly secure the sweet surprises in the packaging, and also to give the bouquet a compact and stylish look.
You can use any material for decoration, but crepe is the most popular and accessible. Corrugated paper makes realistic buds, petals and inflorescences.
We suggest making a gift from sweets for a woman for the New Year.
Women love gifts, and creatively designed ones even more so. Candy bouquets, baskets and sweet hearts are in demand. Each of the delicious gifts is suitable for giving to a lady at a New Year's party.
Sweets in a bouquet for the New Year
For the craft you will need corrugated paper, ribbons, the woman’s favorite candies and decor of your choice.
Each candy is wrapped in corrugated paper, pre-cut into equal pieces. In general, this bouquet looks more like a huge cone: such an original composition looks even more interesting
The bouquet may contain several sweets hidden in the petals
Decor in the form of wrapping paper for bouquets can be purchased at florist shops. Each candy gets its own fur coat
The use of tulle and organza will be appropriate
Let's see how to put together a beautiful sweet bouquet step by step.
| Illustration | Description of action |
| Here's what we need: a heat gun, a narrow satin ribbon, scissors, toothpicks, square pieces of organza, candy. The color of the organza and ribbon can be any, as well as the brand of chocolates, the main thing is that their shape is round and the size is not too large. | |
| We pierce the back of the candy packaging with a toothpick, without touching the product itself. | |
| We lower the edges of the packaging and glue a piece of organza. | |
| Wrap the candy several times and secure the edges with glue. We will tie the organza with a ribbon immediately under the candy, wrapping it around the stem of the toothpick. | |
| This is how we wrap all the candies. For the next stage of work, we will prepare a skein of wide lace, a piece of organza, scissors, decorative beads, paper butterflies, toothpicks, a circle of cardboard, a tube of paper napkins or packaging polyethylene, a cut piece of polystyrene foam, corrugated paper. | |
| We cut off a small triangular piece from the circle (we will roll the bag) and make a slot slightly smaller than the diameter of the tube. We make small cuts around the slot, as in the photo. We bend the edges of the cardboard circle. | |
| We put the cardboard bowl on the tube and secure it with hot glue. | |
| We glue the foam plastic with hot glue onto a piece of organza folded several times. We wrap the edges with fabric. | |
| We take corrugated paper and wrap it around the resulting structure. Having measured the desired size, we put it aside for now. | |
| We decorate the edges of the cardboard bowl with a wide ribbon of corrugated paper. | |
| We glue the foam, put the prepared piece of corrugated paper on the tube and secure everything with glue. | |
| On top of the corrugated paper you need to glue organza, which we will beautifully wrap around the bouquet. | |
| Glue one row of lace along the edge of the bowl. | |
| We start sticking candies on toothpicks - first along the outer edge, then we get to the middle. | |
| Between the candies we insert toothpicks decorated with pieces of ribbons and organza. We lower the beads on top and glue paper butterflies (optional). |
Basket of sweets
Another option for a New Year’s gift that will be appreciated by the female gender.
First, champagne is placed on the bottom, then a row of fruits. Candies wrapped in corrugated paper in the shape of flower petals are thrown along the edge.
If your imagination is asleep, you can simply beautifully put the prepared goodies along with coffee and champagne into a suitable sized basket and decorate everything a little with New Year’s decor
Sweet baskets are decorated in New Year's shades of green, red and gold. For flower petals, you can take red corrugated paper
Candy hearts aren't just given as gifts for Valentine's Day.
The lady will also appreciate the candy heart given to her with good wishes. Her own heart will beat faster from such a sweet gift.
The box is assembled according to the principle of the New Year's candy clock. Flat-shaped candies are glued along the edge of the heart-shaped box, sweets are placed inside, the outer decor can either contain a lot of candies or not.
Tulle is a bright material that can easily decorate a gift. We cut out a heart-shaped base from polystyrene foam and cover it with corrugated paper and braid. Glue a row of sweets decorated with tulle on top

Methods for assembling sweet buds
Working with crepe has a number of advantages, and one of them is the ease of assembling parts. There are several options for the master:
- Using a topstitch stitch. A long strip of paper is prepared from the crepe and a stitch is laid in the center. The blank is wrapped around the candy, forming a bud.
- Stitching petals around the surprise.
- Sewing the petals to the base (in the form of a cardboard circle or felt pillow) to which the candy is glued.
Sometimes in practice there are other methods: mounting on foam plastic, screeding with adhesive tape.
DIY “sweet Christmas tree” composition
A composition in the form of a Christmas tree with your own hands is one of the most suitable ideas for a New Year's bouquet. For its base you need to make a foam tube and a three-dimensional circle. We cover both parts with green cloth, then insert the tube into the round bottom so that it is stable.
We poke holes in the foam tube and insert twigs. What is created should be a Christmas tree. We decorate the branches with candies, cones, toys and bows made of fabric or paper. Make sure they are not too heavy.
If you want to give chocolate bars and bulk confectionery as a gift, it is better to glue their wrapper to the base under the tree. You can make an imitation of snow with your own hands from padding polyester and cotton wool by placing these materials on green needles.

Bouquet of lollipops
Everyone loves small delicious lollipops - from a child in kindergarten to an adult in the office. Giving a box of chocolates is too simple and does not have a festive spirit.
It’s a completely different matter to present a lush bouquet with a whole collection of fragrant candies. To work you need to prepare:
- Wrapping paper.
- Satin ribbon.
- A piece of foam.
Step-by-step guide on how to make a candy bouquet:
- The foam acts as a support in which the candy sticks are located.
- Plastic sticks are dipped into a small piece of foam, placing the elements of the bouquet close to each other.
- The sweets are wrapped in wrapping paper and tied with a satin ribbon with a bow.
In practice, another method is used - plastic sticks are tied with adhesive tape without using foam.

Bright pineapple on a bottle
To create this masterpiece you will need a more extensive list of materials:
- Old glass bottle made of durable glass.
- Decorative mesh for attaching candies.
- Glue gun.
- Satin ribbons for decoration.
- A sheet of green corrugated paper.
- Scissors, needle, thread.
As a sweet part, Ferrero candies are perfect, the packaging of which is quite bright and suitable in color. Operating instructions:
- A circle of cardboard should be glued to the bottom of the bottle, slightly larger in diameter than the circumference of the bottle.
- Place the candies in rows around the glass base, attaching them using a glue gun.
- Place a decorative mesh over the candy rows. Its color and diameter of the elastic thread will not stand out against the background of yellow candy wrappers.
- For pineapple leaves, templates are prepared in the form of a narrow, long layout.
- Leaves are cut out from green crepe using templates.
- Using thread and a needle, sew the leaves into a small bundle.
- Place a bunch of leaves in the area of the bottle neck (on the cork or directly at the mouth of the bottle neck).
The pineapple can be complemented in an original way with a beautiful ribbon with a curly bow.
Sweet heart
You will need:
- thick cardboard;
- colored foil (2 sheets);
- double-sided tape;
- tinsel;
- large rhinestones.
Cut out the heart-base from cardboard. Carefully wrap it in foil on both sides. We lay out rhinestones along the contour of the facade. We cut the tinsel into small pieces and make circles out of them. We fix them to the base.
We glue a piece of double-sided tape into the middle of each cell and fix the candy on it. For this composition, it is better to choose chocolate hearts wrapped in bright foil. This is an original presentation of sweets for the New Year.
Bouquet of roses with Raffaello
A lush bouquet of crepe roses will delight any girl as a present. To work, you will need red or pink crepe, wire to create a stem, glue, thread, needles, and candy.
Instructions for making a simple bouquet of sweets with your own hands:
- For rose petals, you can use the bud rolling technique.
- A long strip 5-6 cm wide is cut out of red or white crepe.
- Line stitches are laid in the center of the paper tape and a free thread is left.
- Pulling the thread gives the tape a corrugated appearance.
A strip of crepe is wrapped around the prepared candy. The finished buds are placed on a wire stem. The bouquet is collected together, the lower contours are wrapped with adhesive tape. The last step is to wrap the bouquet in beautiful paper.
Tulips with truffles
The principle of making a sweet bouquet of sweets with your own hands is similar to the technique of creating a present of roses.
The method of assembling the bud is significantly different: instead of a single ribbon, parts for the inflorescence are prepared. The lower edges of the petals are sewn together with a thin thread, and the upper edges are glued together after attaching the candy.
