Top 4 ideas for beginner florists

Idea No. 1: A bouquet of caramel candies - as easy as pie

Creating a bouquet of caramel candies requires a minimum of cost and time. The main thing is to stock up on a little patience and the following list of materials:

• corrugated paper;
• scissors;
• scotch;
• threads;
• decorative elements (ribbons, organza, lace, sequins);
• caramel candies of the same shape;
• kebab skewers made of bamboo wood.

The formation of a sweet-floral composition has the following sequence of actions.

Caramels are attached to the sharp edge of a wooden skewer: threads or transparent thin tape are used for this. Please note that the splendor of the future bouquet largely depends on the number of candy “blanks” created.

The second stage involves creating foliage that will serve as a frame for the composition. When purchasing materials, it is advisable to pay attention to corrugated paper: due to its pliable structure, the process of simulating real foliage will be greatly simplified. Next you should adhere to the following action plan:

Idea No. 2: From candies for beginners

A more complicated version of a candy bouquet for beginners looks like this: take crepe paper and cut strips of white color 2x50 cm, light green 5x4 cm, green strips 2x50 cm.

Ultimately, five white stripes should appear, which in the future will turn into flower buds, five light green rectangular molds and two green stripes. If you plan to make the bouquet more lush, when increasing the number of flowers, do not forget to maintain proportion with the number of decorative elements.

Prepare to "install" the candies. To begin, count the exact number of treats and divide the wire into a number of pieces equal to the number of sweets.

The next step is to attach the sweets and wire with glue. Place a drop of glue on one of the ends of the candy wrapper, lubricate the tip of the wire with it, and wrap the edges of the candy wrapper so that it covers the wire. Take note: to avoid the glue cooling down and then drying out in the wrong shape, try to secure the candies with the fastest possible movements.

Working on the inside of the bouquet involves creating “recesses,” that is, buds in which chocolate goodies will “bloom.” Take a rectangle of light green crepe paper, using your thumb and forefinger to create a wave along the entire edge of the strip. Repeat with the remaining four rectangles. Using your thumbs, pull the paper from its central part inside out - towards the edges - thus forming a mold for the candy.

In creating the petals of the future sweet “plant”, we will need white paper strips, each of which will need to be first divided into three segments of equal length. That is, the dimensions of each strip will be 2x16.5 cm (50 cm/3). The resulting petals will become the basis for the snowdrop.

Having prepared the paper “petals”, start decorating them: bend them in two, and take the fold as the central axis of the paper, begin to gradually wrap one of the halves of the strip so that the angle of the distance traveled approaches 360 degrees. Apply this technique to all 15 segments. The finishing touch will be to bend the twisted strip in half and bend its middle part towards the edge - this will allow you to achieve volume.

Assembling a bouquet of snowdrops occurs in a given sequence:

Total: we have a charming bouquet of snowdrops or daffodils (which do you prefer?), where each leaf is a continuation of the stem, where each petal breathes beauty, and the core of the flower attracts with its sweetness.

Idea No. 3. From sweets with your own hands - the tenderness of roses

If you dream of mastering the technique of creating candy bouquets yourself, then we recommend starting your professional confectionery and florist journey with the following idea, which is based on creating a candy bouquet of roses made from corrugated paper.

As noted by skilled needlewomen, corrugated paper has a significant advantage over other materials for creating bouquets - high strength with great ability to transform. Of course, one cannot go unnoticed by the huge palette of colors provided in modern stationery stores, which allows you to make each flower arrangement even more vibrant and original. A self-assembled bouquet of candies made in the style of roses will help convey the spring mood and warm attitude towards a person.

Please note that you can choose the main color of the corrugated paper - the color of the flowers can be yellow, purple, pink or classic red - but for the element that will dilute the composition, we will need green corrugated sheets.

So, the step-by-step creation of a bouquet of sweets includes the following steps:

It is worth noting the importance of using additional decorative materials. For example, wrapping it in corrugated paper will help save a bouquet from its “naked appearance,” and using leaves and greenery to the maximum will make the composition lush and solemn. But, perhaps, the most important thing is to be confident in the strength and edibility of the creation.

Idea No. 4: A bouquet of roses made from candy. Master class for beginners

For beginning needlewomen, the world of suite design may seem scary and incredibly difficult. But step-by-step photographs of the creation of compositions in master classes instill strength in beginners, inspire creative solutions and help overcome the fear of failure. By the way, with the detailed instructions given below, it is almost impossible to create a failed bouquet of roses from candies!

The basis of the composition, of course, is its tasty part - candies. It is preferable to choose sweets from boxes wrapped in foil.

Divide corrugated paper of various shades into squares and rectangles. Fold each piece the width of the petal, make a couple of cuts of varying depths and shapes. After unfolding them, give the petals a certain shape by twisting the paper pieces with a toothpick.

At the next stage of forming a candy-flower bouquet, you will need baking film from which you should cut a square. It is necessary to wrap the candy with a film square in such a way that the lower part of the film can be fixed with a gold thread. Now you need to carefully, gradually transfer the pre-prepared cut petals from corrugated paper onto the candy, wrapping it.

Pay due attention to the first layer: it should be dense enough to cover the candy. Securing the petals on top does not require strict adherence to order - randomness will give each bud splendor. Don’t try to create perfect flowers that match each other - it won’t work anyway, because such a phenomenon does not occur even in nature. Don't worry if the roses have significant differences in size and shape - this is the highlight of hand-made products. Remember that in nature there are unopened buds, so you can safely transfer this phenomenon to your work in the name of creating a unique and original bouquet.

The final stage is the direct formation of the bouquet. At this stage, you can use various methods: fastening on a skewer, on a wire frame, a foam ball or polyurethane foam.

Regardless of the theme of the holiday, a bouquet of sweets will always be an interesting, beautiful and original gift. And the fact that you made it yourself will make the gift even more valuable in the eyes of the recipient.

• Corrugated and colored paper, organza, foil or ribbons for a beautiful “flower” design. Beads, satin ribbons, cords and ready-made figures are also used for additional decoration of the bouquet.
• Packaging, mesh or just a piece of fabric to create a bouquet packaging.
• Barbecue sticks or toothpicks if you plan to make flowers on stems.
• Foam rubber or polystyrene for fastening. You can use hardened polyurethane foam.
• A glue gun makes such work much easier.

• If necessary, you can use ready-made containers: vases, flower pots and decorative dishes. A bouquet of sweets in a basket will be a wonderful interior decoration and will leave a long-lasting memory of the giver.

If you use small-diameter wire for the frame, you need to consider ways to disguise it. In addition to the above materials, you can come up with your own design, as well as additional decor. These can be bows, paper butterflies and flowers, as well as small soft toys. A do-it-yourself autumn bouquet of sweets looks original, based on real leaves treated with paraffin.

You will also need a tool for the job. These are regular scissors, paper glue and small pliers if wire is used. In addition, you may need a glue gun for fastening large parts and spare rods for it.

You have already learned how to make bouquets of sweets, but other information will be very useful here. It is advisable to watch at least one video for beginners, and also pre-select a “standard” in the photo.

As in every business, there are secrets and nuances. Many craftswomen learn about their existence from their own experience, and we will tell you about them right now.

Basic tricks for creating a bouquet of sweets:

• Using corrugated paper, you can manually give the product the desired contour. To do this, simply straighten the fold or bulge with your fingers. The edge of the paper can be wrapped around a pencil to smooth out the outline, and you can also “curl” individual elements of the flower with a knitting needle.
• To attach the flower to the stem, it is best to use special decorative tape. If you don't have one, you can use a strip of corrugated paper lightly moistened with water. By slightly pressing it with your fingers, you can achieve a tight fastener, especially if thread was previously used.
• The base for a bouquet of sweets should be quite stable, but not very heavy, because together with the sweets such a gift will be too heavy. Styrofoam glued to a piece of cardboard is ideal. To work with polyurethane foam, it is advisable to make a contour of paper or cardboard, where the foam will be placed until it hardens.
• For shaped crafts, it is best to cut out a shape from polystyrene or foam in advance, wrap the visible parts with foil or corrugated paper, and only then decorate with candies.
• It is appropriate to decorate candy bouquets for Teacher's Day using real leaves, pre-treated with melted paraffin. This way they will not only keep their shape well, but also last longer.
• A basket for a bouquet can also be made from sweets, using flat tiles in individual packages. To give the product rigidity, chocolate bars can be glued onto a folded sheet of cardboard or a finished box.

When choosing the main components for the upcoming work, you should not stop at one type of sweets. Chocolate bouquets of candies are varied, so you can vary and combine different types. Multi-colored marmalade pieces in transparent packaging, as well as candies without packaging, look great.

Small flat tiles are suitable for creating frames, as well as “building” material for sweet houses. By turning on your imagination, you can adequately play up the birthday boy’s favorite sweets, as well as create a unique masterpiece using the simplest and most affordable materials.

A sweet bouquet of sweets with your own hands is a great gift for a loved one on any occasion.
