How to create a bouquet of sweets and napkins yourself?

Bouquet of sweets and napkins with their own hands is created quickly and easily. When you understand the basic principle of creating this original composition, you can then create your own bouquets according to your fantasies and ideas. Such a sweet and innocent hobby may well become not only an underwork for pocket expenses to the mother in the decree, but also a small successful business.

You can do this in different ways:

• If you work with a small candy in a wrapper with twisted tails on both sides, then just attach one ponytail to the skewer or tube with scotch tape.
• If the candy is round, wrapped in foil, then you need to cut out a square from the stretch film, put the candy in the center, wrap it with a film, and wrap the ends around the stem, then fix it with tape or thread.

Creating a flower head

For petals, it is desirable to use corrugated paper. She keeps the shape well and mimics the structure of a real flower petal. But if you do not want to spend time searching it in craft shops, then you can use ordinary table napkins that match the color scheme:

• If you need several round( oval) petals, cut the paper( napkin) into strips,in turn, on the squares, and from the squares, cut out the desired shape of the petals.
• Then take them by turns around the candy center until the bud turns out.

Important! You can not cut the strip into squares, but fold the accordion and cut out the petals.

• When they are laid out, they will be joined together, like a New Year's garland, will only have to wrap around the candy.

Important! For a carnation it is possible to cut a long strip up to half "fringe".

• The petals are fixed on the stem with the help of thread or narrow adhesive tape, although it is sometimes more convenient to use also an adhesive gun.

Shaping the form

To make the flower look more natural, the petals need to be shaped. This can be done before fastening to a candy, if the form is complex( curved center, wavy edge and other).Or after you have collected the bud - if you only need to twist or slightly curl the edges of the petals.

When working, consider these nuances:

• You need to bend the center of the petal with your finger, and twist the edge with a toothpick or paste from the handle( just twist the paper on them a little).
• Scissors can make a jagged or ragged edge.

The sepals:

• If the flower bud should have a green sepal, then you can cut out elongated triangles of green paper that are glued with an adhesive tape under the head of the flower.
• Another option is to cut a long strip of "fringe", slightly twist your fingers with tips and wrap around the bud.

Stalk and leaves:

• For the leaves, cut out the desired shape from corrugated paper or green napkins. The stem itself can be made of wire, skewers made of bamboo, toothpicks or a cocktail tube.
• The stem needs to be wrapped with a green floral tape( tap-tape).Begin winding from the base of the bud. Make several turns to create the desired thickening and cover the scotch or thread, and then at an angle wind the tape around the stem.
• In the process of wrapping the tape, fix the leaves in the right places.
• Floral tape is very convenient to work with, but if it is not - just wrap the stem with a narrow strip of green paper, fixing it with glue.
• If the flower is just part of the bouquet, wind the green ribbon to the end.
• If the scoop or toothpick should be stuck in the foam base, then leave the end clean.

Arranging the composition

When you have repeated all the steps and created the desired number of colors, proceed with the design of the composition:

• If this is a simple bouquet, then the flowers should be wrapped in wrapping paper and decorated.
• If this is a topiary, then stick the candy flowers on the toothpicks into the prepared polystyrene ball installed in the decorative flowerpot.
• If it's a bouquet in a vase, then you need to take a plastic or tin can, wrap it with beautiful paper or glue it with a colored oracle, put a piece of polystyrene inside so that it fills the whole space. Now cover the foam with a "green grass" of paper( cut the strips and paste).In this base, stick the ready-made flowers on the skewers.
• It remains to decorate the composition with decorative twigs, satin ribbons and other beauty.
