Composition "Basket with flowers from sweets"

Flowers have always been a pleasant gift for a woman on any occasion. But it is unfortunate when such a moment comes that the beautiful and fragrant flowers fade. And it turns out that we throw away the gift that was given to us with a soul.
I offer you a master class of a bouquet of sweets. This is a wonderful gift not only for your beloved woman, but also for mom, aunt, teacher, boss, colleagues and so on. Firstly, what is done by hand is always more pleasant, because in every such work a soul and an individual approach are invested. Secondly, the sweets from the buds can be carefully removed, and the composition will remain to please its hostess for the rest of her life.
Necessary materials:
- a basket;
- candies;
- skewers;
- glue gun;
- 2 sticks of silicone glue;
- corrugated paper of 3 colors (one of them is necessarily green);
- a small piece of polystyrene;
- 2 identical bows;
- beads;
- sisal;
- artificial greens.
Step-by-step instructions for making the composition "Basket with flowers from sweets"
1. Take corrugated paper in two different colors. I have it light and dark lilac colors, we will use them for the manufacture of buds. Since I will have 19 flowers in the bouquet, I took 10 lilac and 9 dark lilac stripes of corrugation for the blanks. They should be approximately 5-6 cm wide and the entire length of the roll itself.
2. Divide each strip into 3 equal parts. To speed up the process, you can fold several strips of corrugation at once and cut it.
3. Measure out about one third of the cut strip and twist it in the opposite direction 360 degrees.
Here's what you should get:
These are the blanks you should have for flowers - tulips.
4. Next, take the candy and apply glue on one side of the ends.
5. Connect the ends to the base of the candy so that the ponytails do not stick out.
6. On the other side of the tails we also apply glue and fix the skewer in the middle.
7. We form a bud. To do this, take a petal and insert a candy in it.
8. Lubricate the ends of the petal with glue and wrap the skewers in a circle, while pressing the corrugation with your fingers for tight fixation.
In the same way, glue two more petals. Keep the same distance between them.
Such blanks should turn out:
9. Next, we take the green corrugation and cut into 19 strips (since there are 19 pieces of flowers) of about 20 cm long.
10. From the green corrugation we cut 8-10 strips of 5-6 cm wide.
11. Form the leaves of tulips. To do this, repeat the manipulation of the manufacture of buds.
12. Starting from the base of the bud, glue a green strip of corrugation to create the appearance of the stem.
13. Glue the leaves of tulips to some flowers (it is possible to each).
14. Take about 20 skewers and break them in half.
15. Cut the tape about 18-20 cm long. We need about 10 pieces of thin tape and the same amount of wide.
16. Turn the ribbons in half and glue the ends to the skewers.
17. We measure the corrugation for the basket so that its ends hang slightly.
18. Cut the foam with a size suitable for the diameter of the basket and fix it with glue.
19. We insert flowers into the foam so that the distance between them is the same. We also insert skewers with ribbons.
20. Take a sprig of artificial greenery and glue to the skewer.
21. Insert the greens in the middle of the bouquet.
22. In order to fill the empty spaces in the basket, I used green sisal.
21. To design the handle of the basket, I took a thin ribbon. I fixed it at the base of the handle and brought it to the end in the form of a spiral.
22. To arrange the sides of the basket, you can use 2 of the same bow. You can make them yourself, but I used ready-made bows.
So bows adorn the sides of our composition.
