Sweet wedding gift

Wedding celebrations cannot be imagined without magnificent flowers and memorable gifts that guests present to the newlyweds. Thinking about going to the wedding of people very close to me, I wanted to make an original present with your own hands. I really liked the idea of ​​​​creating a flower arrangement from corrugated paper and sweets. To give the sweet bouquet some wedding elegance, I supplemented my creation with a figurine of the newlyweds and mini-chocolates in the shape of banknotes. Thus, the gift symbolized a wish for a sweet and prosperous life for the young couple. I’ll tell you about the method of making a basket of flowers from sweets.

To work you need to purchase the following materials:
-candies: truffles in bright plain wrappers and mini-chocolates with covers in the form of banknotes;
-corrugated paper in two colors: white and pink;
- wicker basket with handle;
- wedding figurine;
- transparent and double-sided tape;
- toothpicks;
- thin ribbon for gift wrapping;
- Styrofoam;
- transparencies;
- threads;
- white and green paper;
- plastic green leaves.

Making a bouquet should start with making flowers.
Cut out a 10*10 cm square from transparent plastic film. Place a chocolate truffle in its center. (You can take any candies; candies in cone-shaped or round foil look very good in a bouquet).

Making a bouquet


Take a toothpick, place its end in the center of the candy and twist the edges of the film around.

Secure with tape.

We make flower petals from two strips of corrugated paper. (Stripe width 4-5 cm, length 18-20 cm).

We bend each strip of paper into 5 folds. At a distance of 3-3.5 cm from the edge, cut out a semicircle. The result is a blank for 5 petals.

Next, the petals need to be shaped. The use of corrugated paper allows the flowers to look very natural. The paper holds its shape resulting from slight deformation. Bend the bottom of the paper strip inward with your fingers, and bend the top outward with scissors.

We wrap the first layer of petals tightly around the candy and attach it to the base of the flower (the junction of the truffle and the toothpick), then securely fix it with threads.

You should get a half-opened bud.

We place the second layer of paper more freely to give it more pomp.

We fasten it with threads and glue it with tape on top.

Cut out a small strip of green paper. It should cover the place where the petals are attached. The flower produces a green calyx. It is secured with tape.

The result is a lush rose.

How many flowers to make depends on the size of the basket. My wedding basket required 11 pieces to be made. Some of the flowers are made from pink paper, some from white. After all the flowers are made, you can begin to form the composition. Place a rectangular piece of foam at the bottom of the wicker basket.The choice of foam is due to its ability to hold its shape and softness, which will make it easy to secure the toothpick stems in the desired position. The rectangle should fit clearly in size and be 2-3 cm below the height of the basket. It is attached to the bottom with packing tapes.

Fill the remaining gap between the foam and the edges of the basket tightly with white paper. The center and braided edge are taped with double-sided tape.

Sweet wedding gift


A figurine is placed on tape in the center, and mini chocolates are laid out along the edge.

You can use packing tape to decorate the handle of the basket, and tie small bows around the edges.
Fill the basket with prepared candy roses, alternating pink and white. We stick the wooden stems into the foam stand at a slight angle. We fill the small gaps between the flowers with green branches. I had thin plastic that curled well (it turned out something similar to bindweed). In general, any leaves can be used. If you wish, you can also decorate the roses with beads or rhinestones attached to quick-drying glue.
