Giving gifts is always pleasant, for some people it is even more pleasant than receiving them, but sometimes there are no ideas left in the head. It is difficult to find the right gift if you do not know a person's preferences, if the present is intended for an unfamiliar person, or if you just want to please a close friend with something light and original. In such cases, stress can arise, and sweets, especially chocolates, are known to help from stress.

For those with a sweet tooth, children, and for adults of all ages, you can make candy decorations (of any intricate forms), such a gift can please not only with its appearance, but also with its inner content.

  • First you need to make a blank of foam rubber or cardboard... We fix the finished form with double-sided tape, glue or stringing sweets on toothpicks; it is best to use oblong sweets on the fretboard.It is best to decorate the guitar body with round sweets packed in identical wrappers (blue, red, white, or any other color).
  • It is also worth walking along the contour of the guitar with confectionery. A long marshmallow may work for strings. At the end of the neck, it is worth fixing the candies in such a way that they resemble sound adjustment levers.
  • You can use fabric for decoration. You can make the guitar one-sided and flat, or, conversely, three-dimensional. For the second option, it is enough to place foam rubber between two similar stencils of a stringed instrument.

To make the gaps between the sweets look neat, it is better to pre-paste the layout with paper of the same color. You can use round or semicircular candies on the wheels.

There are a lot of options for making such gifts. If you do not have time to make a gift yourself, you can purchase ready-made sweet sets in stores or from craftsmen who are engaged in making sweet gifts to order.

How to do it?

Let's take a look at the unusual, but simple ideas for sweet sets that do not require a lot of investment - both time and money.

Bouquet of sweets

When creating a sweet flower arrangement, materials are used that are used by florists, with the exception of an absorbent sponge, which can be replaced with regular foam or other cheap analogs (a floristic sponge keeps moisture so that flowers do not fade, but we do not need this function). You will need the following materials and tools:

  • double-sided tape or glue gun;
  • wrapping paper for flowers;
  • corrugated paper;
  • multi-colored ribbons;
  • artificial stems for flowers or sticks, which you can wrap in green corrugated paper or paint (in case it is not a plastic base) green;
  • candies;
  • base (pot or bottle) optional.

First of all, it is worth deciding on the color scheme of the bouquet. If you are an inexperienced master, it is better to take 2-3 shades of the same color. It is better to collect complex compositions if you already have experience with these materials. Next, you should choose sweets, it is better round shapes, it is more convenient to work with them.

After you have decided on the sweets, they will need to be wrapped in petals that are cut from corrugated paper. We wrap the candies with petals and glue the edges with tape or glue in such a way as to leave two or three centimeters of the sweet product at the bottom. We attach the stem to the bottom. One sweet flower is ready!

We make the required amount, insert them into the foam and wrap them in wrapping paper. We tie it with a ribbon and round off the ends.

A basket of flowers

To create such a presentation, you will additionally need a wicker basket. We insert foam inside, empty juice boxes may also come up to fix the stems in the basket.

Next, we decorate candies in the form of flowers, for example, peonies or daisies. We attach the petals in such a way that the candy looks like the core of a flower. You can decorate the finished bouquet with beads, ribbons, artificial flowers and herbs.

Sweet bag

To create this composition you need beautiful flower paper and ribbon... We form a bag, which we fill with all kinds of sweets: sweets, marshmallows, waffles, etc. To decorate the presentation, you can use sweet powder or even fruits and berries.

New Year's sweet gift

The most popular attribute of the New Year holidays is the Christmas tree. Even children can make a sweet tree. To do this, it is enough to make a foam cone, attach the candies to sticks (toothpicks) and insert them into the cone.

You can decorate this composition with tinsel, corrugated paper, homemade or purchased snowflakes. For the Christmas tree, you can make a base - in the New Year's style, a decorated bag or box.

In the same way, you can make a sweet New Year's sleigh, Santa Claus or Snow Maiden.

A pineapple

The basis for such an unusual gift will be a bottle of champagne, which will be closed with candies with a yellow or golden wrapper (it is better to fix the candies on double-sided tape) to the base of the bottle neck. We hide the neck under the green paper cut out (you can take holographic paper for a fashionable effect) tops. Gift pineapple is ready!

Heart shaped gift

A great option for a young couple.If you want to make a gift on Valentine's Day, this option may be suitable for you. We do heart-shaped base (you can use thick cardboard). Next, we beautifully lay out the candies inside, the front part of the form wrap in red paper or decorate in another way, complement with a ribbon.

For Easter

Sweet gifts are also popular for Easter, mostly made from kinder surprises. You can decorate a gift in different ways, for example, in a Western style, simply by putting it in the basket.

How can you pack?

Gift decoration is one of the most important points. The gift should look beautiful not only from the inside, but also from the outside. Sweet sets, decorated as bouquets or flower baskets, do not need additional packaging. The bouquet is already in beautiful wrapping paper, and the basket can be additionally wrapped in transparent floral paper and tied with a ribbon.

If you have made a sweet figurine (guitar, sleigh, pineapple, cake, herringbone or something else), then you should not close the composition with additional decorations either.

The packaging of sweet sets is only relevant if you are simply giving sweets. For this, any gift boxes are suitable, and you can also make them yourself. Let's take a look at some simple and original packaging options for sweets.

  • Jar. A very simple and effective way to make a nice little sweet gift. It is better to take small or medium-sized jars with resealable lids. Before you fill the jar with candies (gummies, gummies, marshmallows, or marshmallows are best for such a gift), you should decorate it.

It can be decorated with special markers for drawing on glass or with paper appliqués. The filled jar can be supplemented with a bright ribbon and attached with a small greeting card.

  • Box. At first glance, this is a fairly standard package. However, the variety of wrapping paper options allows you to turn any box into a real masterpiece. In addition to sweets, the box can be filled with multi-colored confetti. You can decorate it with twigs or small flowers (dried, live, artificial).
  • Bow. An unusual bow can be used to decorate a gift bag, bag or box. There are a lot of options for making bows for packaging; beautiful wrapping paper, multi-colored ribbons, lace, braid and even bright pages from magazines.

How to present in an original way?

A sweet set is a very good gift option for any occasion. It is rare to find a person who will be the opponent of sweets. Cakes, pastries, various sweets, marshmallows, marshmallows, waffles - there are a lot of sweets, such a gift cannot but rejoice.

It is better to give gifts by yourself and in your hands, the New Year's sweet set can be hidden at home in a secluded place. If you want to surprise your loved one, you can put a beautifully designed gift on your bed or leave it in plain sight, complementing it with a cute open one with wishes.
