Sweet gifts have been in demand at all times. Any sweet tooth will be delighted with a box of chocolates presented to him, so sweets remain universal gifts, especially if there is nothing else to give.

But for many people, ordinary sweets do not seem like an attractive gift, because for every holiday you want to get something unusual, original. And in this case, help amazing creations - sweet topiary.

The word "topiary" was originally used exclusively by gardeners and landscape designers, because it was the name of the art of decorating a garden and caring for it. Since ancient times, gardeners have decorated the houses of the nobility with unusual triangular and spherical trees. It was believed that such decorations would bring happiness and wealth to the owner of the house, so every person of high status sought to have such a tree in his garden. Modern gardeners have improved their skills, and now in parks around the world you can find amazing animal sculptures and various figures made from ordinary trees.

Not so long ago, the term "topiary" moved to the field of needlework. However, the word has practically not changed its meaning. In needlework, it also means a round tree, but only made from various materials: sweets, coffee, money and other things. Superstitious people believe that such a gift symbolizes success and smart thoughts in the head, so such a tree will bring only positive emotions. The article will focus on do-it-yourself candy topiary, the master classes of which are presented below.

Chupa-Chups Topiary

Lollipops and their analogues are well suited for such ornamental trees. In the manufacture of candy trees, special attention is paid to them, because they will not need to be additionally tied to a wooden skewer, they can be inserted into the product on sticks already attached to candies. In addition, chupa-chups topiary is cheaper: lollipops cost only a few rubles, it is more profitable to buy them than chocolates. Making a lollipop tree is very simple, the following master class will tell about this:

Take the base (styrofoam ball) and start piercing it with lollipops until you cover the entire crown of the tree with them, except for a small hole at the bottom.
Attach the ball to the barrel, a stable stick.
Place the product in a pot filled with mounting foam. Make sure that the topiary is securely attached to the pot and will not break even if several people pull candy out of it at once. It is especially important to check the strength of the product if it is a gift for small children.
Decorate the tree using ribbons, fabric, acrylics, rhinestones, buttons, and any other decorative items.

Decorate with decorative leaves or cut them out of thick colored paper.

Sweet bouquet

To make a good topiary, it is not necessary to make a whole tree. Such large items, as a rule, are difficult to transport if the recipient lives not far away, and you do not have your own transport.

In this case, it will be much easier to bring candy topiary, a master class for the manufacture of which is described below, if the tree is in the form of a bouquet:

Using a familiar pattern, attach the sweets to a long wooden skewer.
From a sheet of red (pink, white, any other rose color) crepe paper, cut out several petals of different shapes and sizes.
Take a small rectangular sheet the size of your chosen candy and wrap it around to form the base of the bud.
Now start attaching the rose petals, tucking up the top to achieve the effect of a blooming flower. Secure each attached petal with tape. Wrap the candy so that you can see it when you look inside.
Cut out the green sepal, make a hole in the middle and attach it to the base of the bud.
Wrap the stem in the form of a wooden skewer with green crepe paper. If desired, wrap the buds in organza skirts.
Assemble the bouquet, wrap it in two layers of crepe paper. The first layer should cover the entire bouquet up to the flowers, and the second one is made a little smaller than the first one and used as a decoration. You can wrap the bouquet with a second layer of floral fabric.

Marmalade - the favorite sweet of children, and it is from it that you can make a wonderful decoration for a sweet table - a bouquet of marmalade with your own hands. Such beauty will please any child, and will also become an excellent and creative candy box. Making a marmalade bouquet with your own hands is very simple:

Get marmalade of different colors: be sure to yellow (the core of the flower) and any others.
Take a piece of cellophane film and place it on the palm of your hand. Put the yellow gummies in the center, and arrange the rest in the shape of a flower around it.
Pierce the core with a wooden skewer, pushing it slightly forward, and then carefully wrap the marmalade in a film, without ruining the shape of the flower. Tie the film tightly so that the product does not fall apart inside.
Color the "stalk" green or wrap it with green paper. If desired, attach decorative leaves and wrap the bouquet in a sheet of colored paper. Flowers can also be placed in a pot or basket.

DIY Topiary "Clock"

Such a gift will be especially relevant for the New Year. Making a watch with your own hands is quite simple and the following master class will prove it:

Cut out two circles of the desired size from cardboard.
Wrap them in crepe paper.
From cardboard, make a strip that could easily wrap circles. Wrap it in colored paper.
Twist the ribbon into a circle and place the previously cut circles on both sides. We got voluminous circles.
Glue sweets on a cardboard strip (it is best to choose in the form of sticks).
Decorate the front side of the clock with beads, gluing them around the edges with a glue gun. Use beads of a different color to lay out the hands and symbols of the clock. You can add a small piece of tinsel, decorating it with a bell.

Do-it-yourself candy topiary, the master classes for which were shown above, are quite simple to do if you make a little effort.

The tree of happiness has now become a fashionable interior accessory, and there are simply innumerable options for candy topiary, there are about the same number of them as candy species were invented (Fig. 1). Originally known as a type of landscape design, topiary has evolved into a European version of Japanese bonsai. Only, unlike Eastern traditions, it is customary to make a eurotree from any materials at hand. From what modern needlewomen do not make their masterpieces - from pasta and coffee, from braid and organza, from fruits and banknotes, from ready-made artificial flowers and napkin roses. Each tree of happiness has its own stylistic decision, target orientation, festive or everyday addressing.

And only a topiary made of sweets, made and invented with all possible turns of imagination, can be useful in any case, on any date, as a gift for the most solemn event. A variety of candy shapes and packages, the frivolous variegation of candy wrappers, the brilliance of packaging foil will allow you to create any modification of a candy building and achieve an enchanting effect.

Making a candy topiary will require a few simple things from its creator to get the job done. The following materials will be needed:

original design element (candies and sweets);
decorative components (ribbons, beads, etc.);
a pot for a tree;
material for stylized soil under the topiary;
fasteners (stapler, glue, pins, electrical tape);
tools (scissors, awl and others);
newspapers or foam for a ball depicting a crown.

It remains to mention the three most necessary things: the desire to please, the thirst for creativity and vivid imagination. To make a candy topiary a unique masterpiece, the originality of the product is especially valuable in the creative process. If there is no particular desire to be smart, you can use ready-made, already developed projects.

Convenient handy material

The most famous type of candy tree of happiness was the lollipop topiary. In appearance, it strongly resembles a candy rack in a supermarket, but it is extremely simple to manufacture and is especially useful at a children's birthday party. Chupa Chups are the most suitable material for making candy topiary. After all, these lollipops are initially already on sticks, so there is no need to invent a means of attachment to the base ball. Topiary based on chupa chups is a convenient and attractive means of distributing sweets by a birthday boy or birthday girl to guest children at a festive celebration. And at the same time it is a bright detail of the interior and a wonderful gift.

The most famous type of candy tree of happiness was the lollipop topiary

For manufacturing, a heavy pot (most often filled with plaster) is needed, in which a strong stick for the base ball is made of crumpled newspapers or polystyrene. The pot can be decorated in different ways:

decorate with a lush bow;
wrap with beautiful wrapping paper;
cover with paint;
make an inscription on the theme of the holiday;
drape with a cloth;
paste over with improvised decorative materials (shells, coffee beans, beads, beaded threads).

It is easy to make a topiary with your own hands, a master class on self-creation will help with this. By the way, it provides for the use of marmalade, wrapped in transparent paper, and marshmallows strung on skewers, together with lollipops.

Marmalade in options

Making topiary from marmalade is somewhat more difficult, because marmalade is usually sprinkled with sugar (Fig. 2). But if you buy colored figurines and wrap each of them in transparent paper or film, then on a ball of foam or crumpled newspapers, fastened with glue and wrapped in food foil, you can lay out bright flowers with red, yellow and green petals, and make the middle out of a chupa Chups or other round candy. Marmalade-based topiary can be made without resorting to such difficulties, but using lemon and orange slices for a wavy pattern around the ball.

You can make roses by slightly crushing and stretching the marmalade with clean hands, folding them into spirals that imitate rose buds. Or you can attach marmalade flowers to a ball on thin wooden sticks - you will need more skewers to imitate a flower bouquet in a vase. The sticks must be strong and long enough to be securely fastened to the ball. In this case, the space visible in the gaps between the components of the bouquet needs to be decorated. Before strengthening the flowers, you need to think about how to close the bald spots. Of the recommended materials, in this case, artificial moss, colored paper, coffee beans, large beads that can be attached to glue are suitable.

Tree of happiness from Raffaello

An intricate topiary bouquet of sweets for a wedding gift or an anniversary of married life can be made from Raffaello (Fig. 3). The appearance and design of the Raffaello candy wrapper make it possible to prepare such a bouquet for a gift on March 8 - in a beautiful mug or in the form of an elegant tree. To make a bouquet, you will need skewers of large diameter and length, which are stuck into a foam circle with a top protruding in the form of a step. You can cut steps from the finished ball in several layers and then the bouquet will turn out to be voluminous.

You will also need a cardboard pipe that is put on skewers so that the bouquet has a smooth and comfortable handle. Each Raffaello candy can be wrapped with corrugated paper or golden foil, and the wire on which they are attached can be decorated with green corrugated or tissue paper and get a flower stem. If there is no time for such difficulties, then the sweets are attached to a cascading circle wrapped in decorative paper so that there is almost no free space left. In such bouquets, it is appropriate to use decorative ribbons and bows, lace, crocheted stripes of colored openwork, wrapping paper for flower bouquets with different patterns, or crumpled pieces of colored foil.

If there is a shallow box, then its inside can be decorated with a cloth fixed in a special way on foam rubber. There you can place a composition of flowers in the form of a flower garland, adding a small gift - a mug, a jewelry box or a jewelry box. A beautiful cup can be used as an impromptu stand for a small Raffaello bouquet by placing foam plastic in it and calculating the length of the handle so that the bouquet in the vase is stable. Raffaello sweets can also be used in mixed bouquets, they are light in weight and do not complicate the installation of the plan.

Good taste and desire

Intricately and tastefully executed candy topiary is a short-lived interior decoration. Like any food product, candy has a nasty way of spoiling. Therefore, when creating such compositions, one should always remember that the tree will be eaten by the birthday man or the heroes of the occasion and his guests. In such cases, you should not save on raw materials by purchasing a cheap source for candy topiary. You should buy delicious sweets, guided by the preferences of those to whom the gift is addressed.

The question of how to make a candy topiary is not the most difficult of all the technologies used to make a tree of happiness. Sweets, already intricately decorated by the manufacturer, become an excellent decorative material in the hands of a person who has the desire and the opportunity to make a gift for someone dear to him with his own hands. Here beauty can serve everything. The triangular tail of a chocolate candy wrapper can become one of the many flower petals assembled from the same tails; a long frill of coconut round candy - a bud; foil wrappers - the basis of the color composition; marmalade and lollipops - an additional decoration.

Intricately and tastefully executed candy topiary is a short-lived interior decoration

There are two ways to attach sweets to the ball - with glue and with skewers or wires. When using the glue method, care should be taken to ensure that the sweets can be easily removed from the tree and eaten, and in this sense the second method is much preferable. The base left after eating sweets can be repeatedly used to create other compositions designed according to the solemn occasion.

If you use cheap sweets for a topiary and leave it as a purely decorative decoration, its appearance will eventually become unusable, and it can even attract insects - flies, cockroaches, ants. Therefore, a candy tree is applicable only as a wonderful and original gift for any special occasion, which will be eaten in the near future.

How beautiful and amazing the candy topiary will turn out depends only on its creator and decorator. No master classes and advice can replace the living idea that the author visited at the moment when he decided to realize himself in making a gift.

Ideas should suggest the occasion on which the celebration is held, the selected raw material and its design, and the idea of \u200b\u200bthe creative person who starts to perform the masterpiece.

Attention, only TODAY!

Topiary is an unusual fashionable interior decoration that combines a wide variety of materials, shapes and textures.

A topiary or candy tree is a great gift idea for any holiday or birthday.

An original tree can serve as an interior decoration, and even become a dish for a festive table. In this article we will tell you in detail how to make such a tree with your own hands.

What is a topiary

Topiary ("European Tree", "Tree of Happiness") - an interior decoration or a gift in the style of European floristry; a product that has become very popular these days. The craft is a small decorated figure in the form of a tree.

Modern needlewomen use various types of natural, artificial, decorative materials. The topiary consists of the so-called crown, base, trunk, pot and decorative ornaments.

The materials for such a tree can be both sweets and other goodies:

sweets with or without a wrapper;
marshmallow or "Marshmallow";
icing, chocolate, nuts as a decoration;
lollipops;
marmalade.

You can use any candy as a material

The content for such trees should be chosen according to your preferences. The main thing in the product will be its originality, individuality, presentation and beauty.

Materials for manufacturing

Firstly, in order to make a tree out of sweets, you need to have patience, strength and have enough free time to implement your plan.

Topiary is a way for modern craftswomen to express themselves and please loved ones

Secondly, the following materials must be available:

Pot. It should be combined with the size of the topiary crown, with its color and style. Instead, you can use a vase or any other suitable container.
A stick or rod where the frame of the product will be attached.
Base in the form of a ball, made of paper, papier-mâché or foam.
Glue.
Threads.
Scissors.
Sponge, styrofoam, decorative stones or something else to fill the pot.
Ribbons, corrugated paper, organza for decoration.
Decorative elements (beads, artificial flowers and blades of grass, lace, etc.)

Topiary materials

The selection of gamma for crafts cannot be neglected. For a gift to a man, bright and girlish colors will be out of place and vice versa. A gift intended for a man should be kept in calm colors, and decorative ornaments should be kept to a minimum. In the case of a gift for a girl or woman, the colors can be absolutely anything, the main thing is that they are combined with each other. The number of decorations is selected based on tastes and preferences.

Barrel for a future product

Before you start assembling a tree from candies, you first need to decide on the shape, size and length of the trunk of the craft. The composition itself is usually visually divided in a ratio of 5:3, of which 5 parts are occupied by the trunk and crown of the tree, and 3 parts are separated into a pot or stand.

The trunk can be in the form:

processed wooden stick;
several bundles of wire twisted together;
green metal rod (usually used for the garden);
Chinese food sticks tied together.

To give naturalness to a tree, the trunk should be given bends, if the material itself allows it.

Wire barrel

For beauty, you can wrap the trunk of the product with satin ribbons or glue a couple of small decorative flowers, twigs to it, glue it with beads, paint it in a suitable color with spray paint, or come up with your own version.

A budget option

Crown making

How to make the main part of the craft? Creating a crown is the most creative and complex process. First you need to decide whether the sweets will be "edible" in the future. If so, then they should be attached to the foam plastic frame with a toothpick, and if the candies are in a wrapper, then they can also be attached with glue, but so that it is easy to get them later. If the candies are used exclusively for decoration, they can be glued with strong glue.

Crown varieties

The ability to change the crown depending on the event will make the topiary multifunctional. In this case, the glue should be selected fragile or the frame of the craft should be made removable. Do-it-yourself candy products with such properties will attract a lot of attention.

If the marshmallow in the product will be the main focus, then you don’t even need to add decorative elements to it. You should glue the frame with cling film and coat it with an edible sticky cream, which will make it easy to attach marshmallows.

Flowers for the crown

It is advisable to select sweets that match in color with each other, having approximately the same shape and size. Candies of different sizes will be better wrapped in paper of different colors.

sweet flowers

To give the sweets a more festive look, they can be pasted over with petals cut out of corrugated paper so that everything together looks like a real rosebud, peony or other flowers.

An example of creating flowers

The number of such buds will depend on the frame itself. It is better to leave space between the candies and fill it with decorative twigs or flowers than to try hard to attach all the buds.

After preparing all the components of the crown, the flowers are attached to the frame with glue, toothpicks - depending on the situation.

Tree assembly

For the final stage, you should have more patience.

We cut out a piece of the required shape from the foam plastic so that it fits easily into the topiary pot.
Lubricate the bottom of the pot with glue, attach foam plastic to it, press it tightly for better fixation. If the pot is filled with plaster, then you can decorate the base with artificial moss or decorative pebbles.
We insert the already made barrel into the foam plastic, having previously coated the end of the barrel with glue.
To hide an ugly piece of material in a pot, you can close it by pouring decorative pebbles into the pot or cutting out the necessary figure from paper and pasting it on top. You can also drape a piece of foam using beads, satin ribbons or decorative figurines.
We also attach the crown of the tree to the trunk, smearing its end with glue.

Master class on creating a tree from candies

Usually, it is customary to give flowers, sweets or any other gifts for the holidays, but a candy topiary will always be a win-win option in order to surprise someone.

Brightness and originality is achieved not only through the form, but also through the use of many color combinations in the composition.

Such a gift is not only original, but also delicious. He will surely be remembered by the guests and the hero of the occasion. A sweet tree can be made not only for a gift, but also for decorating the interior of your home. It will be a great addition, replacing fresh flowers or figurines.

The secrets of making 20 types of topiria are revealed with step-by-step instructions and video tutorials.

The history of the origin of the art of topiary stretches back to ancient times and was a curly haircut of green plants. Intricate figures of trees could be observed in the gardens of the Roman nobility, the original form of which was given by court slave gardeners.

A modern topiary is a miniature copy of trees and bushes, and it depends only on the imagination of a skilled florist what form of crown he will give to his own tree. Topiary is a tree of happiness that has regained its popularity in modern European floristry.

So, let's get to work - we will create roses.

In order to create this magnificent beauty, we will prepare napkins of a certain color.
In our free time, we will start turning them into rosebuds. Cut each napkin into 4 pieces.
We take one part of the napkin and fold it in such a way as shown in the photo. That is, not in half, one-third
We do the same with the rest of the parts. For a rosebud, you will need 2 napkins. And again, you can adjust the size of the buds yourself.

Topiary for the New Year

Topiary for the New Year should symbolize the solemnity of the event. We have already talked about what a topiary is and what are the basic principles for its manufacture.

But what is a topiary for the New Year? You guessed it - on New Year's Eve it is customary to make wishes. And if you decide to make a New Year's tree of happiness with your own hands, then you will have every opportunity to securely fix your desire with resistant glue.

Before you start manufacturing, you need to decide on its shape. New Year's topiary can have a traditionally round shape, but you can also give it a curly shape, such as a Christmas tree shape.

We will consider the option of a topiary made of Christmas balls. You will need to prepare:

Christmas balls in silver or gold (you can combine the colors of the balls)
Foam for the base
wand
pot
Styrofoam for ball
New Year's design elements - cones, decorative berries and fruits

If you picked up a pot for the New Year theme, then you can leave it in the form it is now. In another case, the pot must first be decorated with satin fabric and fixed to the base of the pot with double-sided tape.
Immediately place the foam inside the pot, which will serve as a reliable support for your topiary. In the middle of the oasis, fix the trunk - it can be an ordinary stick wrapped in a satin ribbon or a cardboard base from food foil or film
At this stage, fix the foam plastic to the top of the trunk of the tree of happiness, having previously made it the shape of a ball. So the moment has come when we will form the crown of the tree with our own hands. In our case, these are New Year's toys-balls. Place each individual ball on toothpicks and glue them at the base. Now firmly insert the toothpicks with balls into the crown ball.
If you use large balls, then the gaps between them can be filled with small balls and decorated with beads and tinsel.
In order for your design to hold well, we recommend that you glue the balls together at the end of the work.

Feel free to turn on your imagination, add or change elements at your discretion. The main rule is that they are combined with each other in color!

Using a flower hole punch, we cut out flowers from multi-colored paper - you will need about 100 pieces, depending on the size of the ball and the flowers themselves.

Pliers,
glue gun,
Cup,
Saucer,
Arabica coffee,
Aluminum fork.

You may be surprised to see in the constituent materials the name aluminum fork. Aluminum because it is easier to bend - we need to bend it with the letter "zu", that is, in the shape of a future waterfall.

So, the fork was bent. Now we need to securely glue it with hot glue on one side to the saucer, and on the other to the cup. Secure with duct tape on top to secure.
Now we need polyethylene foam, which can be found in the packaging for dishes. We cut out the width of the future waterfall and glue it to the fork
We select large coffee beans and begin to stick them on the tape on both sides. Make sure there is no empty space left. Coffee beans can be glued in several layers

Let the glue dry well and you can start decorating. Coffee beans can be coated with a layer of varnish. But in this case, the coffee will not emit its aroma. So it's up to you. Decorate the cup with a beautiful bow, put cinnamon sticks on the saucer - in a word, turn on the flight of fancy
