Sweets and flowers are a pleasant gift, which, however, can cost considerable financial investments.
If you want to surprise a loved one and save a budget, you can make beautiful flowers with sweets yourself.
Before you begin, you need to decide on the type of bouquet, the choice of colors, materials and treats.
Raffaello - a simple and sophisticated bouquet of paper with do-it-yourself sweets for beginners "florists"
To make such a bouquet, you must have:
1. packaging of Raffaello candies;
2. corrugated paper;
3. adhesive tape;
4. scissors;
5. glue;
6. polystyrene (or other similar material for the frame of the bouquet);
7. thick paper / cardboard;
8. toothpicks (or "peaks" for canapes);
9. transparent film;
10. satin ribbon;
11. decor.
To begin with, we create a frame - the basis of our bouquet. We cut out the dome-shaped figure from the foam - our delicious flowers will be attached to it.

We attach the frame to the handle of the bouquet. Two options can be made:
• Direct pen (as pictured). To do this, we make a tube from cardboard, decorate with ribbons, corrugated paper, rhinestones - to your taste;
• Triangular handle - in this case, roll the “bag” from the cardboard and attach it to the base of the bouquet.
The next step - you need to make a ring out of cardboard - cut a circle with a hole in the middle. We decorate with improvised materials - the paper-corrugation (or wrapping), satin ribbons, rhinestones and beads look most effective. An unusual option is to make a heart-shaped foundation.
We put the resulting material on top of the frame, fasten it with tape / glue.
Each candy (in addition to the factory candy wrapper) is individually packed in a transparent film, tied with a satin ribbon, decorated (to taste). Next, "stick" on a toothpick or peak.
If there is a desire and time, you can make a base from corrugated paper and attach it to the base of the flower.
We attach the obtained "sweets" to the frame, decorate, correct defects (if any). Exquisite and delicious handmade gift is ready!

Pineapple - an unusual version of the "delicious" flowers from paper with sweets do-it-yourself
Another original way to give a gift made by yourself is to make a floral bouquet from paper with sweets in the shape of a pineapple!
The principle of its manufacture resembles the previous version, the main difference is only in the form of a frame.
Materials for work:
1. 1-2 packages of sweets (for example, Raffaello);
2. corrugated or wrapping paper;
3. double-sided tape;
4. scissors;
5. glue;
6. foam;
7. Whatman / cardboard;
8. toothpicks (or "peaks" for canapes);
9. transparent film;
10. satin ribbon;
11. decor.
The basis for the frame will be an egg-shaped figure cut out of foam.
♥♥♥
Want to make a “surprise in surprise”? Instead of a base, use not foam, but a small vase of a similar shape, which can also be filled with sweets inside. The gift will be much more significant, interesting and tastier!
The second most popular way of presenting this bouquet is a bottle of champagne (or wine) based on it. An important condition in the manufacture of such a gift is the curved ("pot-bellied") shape of the vessel.
Further, to add sophistication to the bouquet, it is necessary to tighten the resulting form with wrapping or corrugated paper, pull the ends up to make it look like "pineapple leaves".
Once you're done with the frame, you need to attach candy to it. For this we use double-sided tape. We stick several candies on one row, given that they should be located along - glue them along the "red line". We wrap our base with the resulting “ribbon”.
It remains only to decorate (optionally) the resulting "fruit" and give a loved one a great mood!

Sweet roses - a bouquet of the most noble color with do-it-yourself sweets
For those who already have experience in making handmade bouquets of flowers and sweets, the option with roses will seem the most interesting.
In order to make such a gift, you must use the following materials:
1. round-shaped candies;
2. corrugated paper of green and pink (or other, of your choice) colors;
3. double-sided tape;
4. scissors;
5. glue;
6. toothpicks (or "peaks" for canapes);
7. satin ribbon;
8. a small basket;
9. decor.
We cut out the base for the rose bud from corrugated paper - two rectangles 8 x 7 cm in size. We round one end to get a "marigold" shape. Using your thumbs, we stretch it from the center to the bases to give a natural look.
♥♥♥
Next, we wrap the candy in our "bud", carefully fasten it with glue at the base, fasten it with a toothpick or a spade, carefully tie it with a thread.
♥♥♥
We turn to the manufacture of rose petals. Depending on your preferences, you can make the flower lush or slightly ajar. When creating a classic rose, you need to prepare 8 pieces of corrugated paper for the petals. Their sizes should be 1.5-2 cm smaller than the bud.
We wrap each petal with a toothpick from one edge, stretch it in the center to give shape and, using glue, attach it to the base of the bud. To make the rose look neat, apply adhesives with a thin layer on the non-rounded edges of the petals. Attach them to the bud in two rows. The first row - 3 pieces, the second - 5 pieces.
The result should be such a pretty rose.
♥♥♥
The next step is to make leaves on roses. To get it as natural as possible, we recommend the use of green corrugated paper. We cut out rectangles of small size from paper - 2-2.5 cm, make veins to make it look like a “crown” or a “fence”. The resulting figures are attached to the base of roses with threads. Do not use adhesive tape at this stage - it will be visible with the naked eye and will significantly increase the base of the flower.
It remains only to beautifully put the resulting roses in a basket, decorating it with decor. Corrugated paper can be placed at the base of the basket, leaving the edges free.
The bouquet is waiting for its happy owner!
