History of candy bouquets
Candy bouquets begin their history in romantic France. In this country, there was a tradition to give guests sweet gifts for the holidays. At first, these were boxes or beautiful bags in which they put chocolate or other sweets.
They were called bonbonnieres, from the word bon-bon - candy. They were decorated in accordance with the holiday or the occasion for which they were going. For a birthday, it could be satin bags with bows, and for a wedding - boxes decorated with appropriate symbols.
The Italians and Germans liked the unusual tradition, and gradually spread to the whole of Europe. Each country and each master made their own version of the bouquet. Name candy bouquet came from America, where they made a business out of this idea. There they began to offer people sweets wrapped in colorful wrappers and arrange them in sets.
But they began to be called "bouquets" with the arrival in the CIS countries. It is impossible to say exactly where they appeared before, but here they have become truly beautiful and like flowers.
Pleasure and benefit in one bouquet
Self-composing bouquets of sweets gives a lot of opportunities. You can do it for the soul, taking a break from your main job, or you can make a new income. Very often mothers on maternity leave, housewives and young pensioners find themselves in this business. In composing compositions, it is possible to fully reveal the rich potential of imagination and talents.
Engage in making a bouquet of sweets for yourself, since or will not work. This option is more suitable for gifts and congratulations. Bouquets and baskets, a variety of compositions and crafts will be appropriate for any occasion. Birthday, anniversary, March 8, New Year, any professional holiday - a sweet bouquet of sweets will pleasantly surprise those for whom you have prepared it.
How to start making sweet bouquets
Making bouquets from sweets is much easier than sculpting flowers from cold porcelain, but even here there are difficulties and nuances.
When working on the first masterpiece, it is difficult to decide where to start, which flower to choose and which candy to put in the center of the composition. First you need to fill your hand, try different options, add something from yourself.
It would be nice to watch master classes on the Internet or attend the MK in person, then you can ask questions of interest, consult with a person who has already devoted himself to the sweet direction in floristry. Do not try to make bouquets right away - practice on individual candy buds, using inexpensive materials for training, such as paper napkins.
If you have small children, do not tell them to turn on cartoons or invite them to play in the yard. Joint creativity with children makes it more interesting not only the process of creating a bouquet, but also the result. Believe me, they will definitely tell you what zest it lacks.
Entrust the child with cutting petals, gluing beads, or any other activity that is feasible. And of course, feel free to give him the opportunity to present a ready-made present to his grandmother, aunt, teacher.
Materials and tools for creativity
The first step is to decide what you want to create. Take your time to visit a florist shop, buy everything there, and then guess what can come of it. Only after determining the type of craft (manual bouquet, baskets or other.) Do you need to make a list of what you need. Here's what you might need to get it working:
- basket or other suitable base;
- floristic corrugation (another name for crepe paper) for making flowers and decorative elements;
- floral wire (in rare cases, wooden barbecue skewers may be suitable) - these will be stems and fasteners for flowers and sweets;
- a thermal gun is the best, most convenient and reliable way to fix all the details of a bouquet;
- floral film or organza, it is needed to fill the space between the flowers and complete the composition;
- teip tape - it helps to fix the cup of the flower, attach the leaves and make the simulated stems as realistic as possible;
- ribbons, beads, rhinestones, feathers and whatever you see fit to decorate the composition.
Take advantage of these useful tips, they will help you diversify gifts and make them as pleasant as possible:
- an edible bouquet for an adult can be enriched with a bottle of wine or other alcoholic drink, a can of coffee or a package of tea;
- a gift for a girl will be perfectly complemented by a couple of soft toys;
- it is better not to combine sweets and flowers in a single bundle, they need to be placed on separate branches so that sweets can be obtained without damaging the composition;
- it is best, especially for roses, to choose semi-circular or round candies;
- so that the bouquet is more stable, and it is more convenient to attach flowers to the basket, place a square of foam plastic in size in it, glue it, then stick flowers into it and fix it with silicone.
Bouquets for children: a sea of emotions
Candy bouquets for children is a separate direction. If for an adult presentation it is customary to adhere to some age restrictions and fit it into a certain framework, then this is not the case in the children's version. Flowers can be of different shades, it is not necessary to adhere to the standards.
Children also like it when a toy sits in a bouquet. An ideal option for a girl is a doll whose dress is decorated with flowers and beautifully decorated sweets. The boys will be delighted with the car, boat or train lined with sweets.
As you can see, sweet candy bouquets bring joy to both adults and children, and the one who created the beauty gets double pleasure. First, you will have a mental rest from the manufacturing process, and then you will receive a lot of pleasant words of gratitude and enthusiastic looks from contemplators of masterpieces.

Creating homemade surprises is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. As you can see, even the materials for their production are used at hand: cardboard from shoe boxes, the remaining foam after a new purchase, adhesive tape, sheets of paper that are already on our worksheet, toothpicks. And even decor: lace, bows, ribbons can be found on clothes that are no longer needed.
It may be necessary to purchase a glue gun and crepe paper, although you can find an alternative to them.
And if you go to stores where handmade products are presented, you can find anything there, down to the smallest details.
- If you want to make a surprise with your own hands, but you are new to this business, start making a souvenir in advance.
- Choose an idea. Check out tutorials and step by step instructions.
- Get and prepare everything you need for work. The manufacturing process may take longer than you think. This is especially true for small design nuances: bending the edges of confectionery, attaching wire, etc. It takes time to get used to and adjust.
This is where I end. I know that you will succeed. Rejoice loved ones and rejoice yourself. Do not forget to leave your comments, share little tricks. If you liked the article, do not be greedy and recommend to friends in the social. network to read it. See you!

This is a great idea!
Such an original gift is easy to make with your own hands.
It turns out saving money and time looking for a gift.
Working out the idea of a bouquet of sweets
Firstly, you need to decide on the type of flowers in the bouquet. What does the birthday girl prefer? Is she allergic to roses, tulips, crocuses, snowdrops? What age is she?
Secondly, the issue of the design of the bouquet is being resolved. Will it be a standard bouquet? Or flowers in a box, on a stand, in a basket?
Thirdly, bought in a candy store. Each type of flower has its own candies, based on the shape of the candy and its wrapper;
Fourth, a selection of decorative ornaments for a bouquet of sweets with their own hands. It can be butterflies, thin satin ribbons, artificial or fresh flowers. Of course, these decorations are easy to purchase at a sewing accessories store, but making them yourself is a simple and enjoyable experience;
Fifth, preparation of tools and materials for the creative process: corrugated paper, scissors, glue, basket or box.
With this approach, success is guaranteed!
Do-it-yourself bouquet of sweets No. 1 (step by step) for beginners
The gift consists of chocolates of the famous Raffaello brand. In addition, you will need: skewers, toothpicks, cardboard, foam plastic, paper (corrugated white), silicone gun, adhesive tape, decorative ornaments in the form of beads, ribbons, mesh, organza to match.
Do-it-yourself frame for a bouquet of sweets is made. Cardboard is taken and glued into a tube. Styrofoam is put on it and cut off in the shape indicated in the figure. Styrofoam is pasted over with corrugated paper. Then skewers, pre-lubricated with glue, are stuck from it. However, they can be inserted later, when the buds are strung on them.
A circle with a diameter of 25-30 cm is cut out of cardboard, and a hole is made in it. The resulting part is wrapped with decorative tape. The cardboard tube-holder is wrapped with corrugated paper. After that, you can glue the circle with the hole to the plastic. It is recommended to fasten it as strongly as possible, since it is this part of the structure that will hold the bouquet of sweets with your own hands.
Fastening "sweet flowers". Raffaello brand candies are put on transparent small bags. They can be crafted from a transparent flower wrapper from a flower shop. Squares are cut out of it. A toothpick is inserted into the Raffaello candy. Now the cut out squares wrap each candy, which at the base, at the location of the toothpick, is tied to a satin bow.
Collecting flower design. All sweets are stuck in foam. It is recommended to start assembly from the edge to the center. It is advisable to insert the first time in order to less deform such a fragile material.
A bouquet of sweets with their own hands is decorated with artificial flowers, beads and ribbons. The picture shows flowers cut out of satin ribbons in the form of circles. The edges of the fabric are processed on candle fire. An artificial pearl is sewn into the center.
The highlight of the bouquet will be a drop of the birthday girl's favorite aromatic oil.
Do-it-yourself bouquet of sweets No. 2 with tulips (step by step)
It doesn't take much to make such a wonderful bouquet. All you need is chintz fabric of different colors, dark green felt, wire with a cross section of 1-2 mm, pyramid-shaped or rectangular sweets (not square at the base), skewers, teip tape (decorative adhesive-based paper tape).
The chintz is cut into pieces of square fabric measuring 10/10 cm. It is recommended to do this along the direction of the threads, not diagonally. Such actions will help to avoid unnecessary processing of the fabric along the edges, since with a diagonal cut the textile base will crumble.
Wrapped sweets are wrapped in fabric squares, as shown in the picture.
A skewer is inserted under the candy, but it does not pierce the sweetness. The skewer is wrapped in the corners of a square fabric and wrapped very tightly with teip tape.
At the base, a wire is inserted into the resulting flower, which is also wrapped in teip tape.
Shapes resembling tulip leaves are cut out of felt. It is attached to the already known tape to the base of the flower.
All "sweet flowers" are collected in a bouquet, which is tied with a satin ribbon. Everything, a delicate spring bouquet of sweets with your own hands is ready! It is appropriate to present such a gift to both a little girl and a young lady.
Bouquet of sweets No. 3 - step by step (with roses): do it yourself
A bouquet of roses is a chic gift. Any female representative will appreciate it. Making flowers for a sweet bouquet is hard work, but not difficult. The assembly scheme is simple and clear.
Improvised material and tools: pyramid-shaped sweets, decorative basket, soft pink and green corrugated paper, artificial rose leaves, wire with a cross section of 2 mm, teip tape (adhesive-based decorative paper tape), glue gun, scissors, thin rubber bands for white money.
First, the first rose is made, as an example for all subsequent ones.
A rectangle is cut out of soft pink corrugated paper. It bends in half. One corner is slightly rounded.
Candy is inserted into the resulting form. It is recommended to stretch the paper in the center. This will ensure an even fit. The paper will not bulge.
One edge of the future flower (near the sharp base) is wrapped with an elastic band. Thus, the flat side of the candy became the top of the flower, where the side of the corrugated paper with the rounded corner should be.
A wire is inserted into the base of the flower. Its length depends on the size of the basket used and can be from 15 cm or more.
The base of the flower is tightly wrapped with teip tape.
Rose petals are being made. They are also cut out of corrugated paper. The desired shape is a rectangle with rounded corners on top. And then comes the time for magic: the center of the rectangle is stretched, the edges of the future petal are bent with a pen, pencils or toothpicks. The work is delicate and elegant.
The resulting petals are glued to the base of the "sweet flower".
Narrow leaves (sepals) are cut out of green corrugated paper for the base of the bud. They are glued to the designated place. The process ends with the creation of a receptacle at the flower. The bottom of the bud is wrapped with teip tape so that a cup is obtained, as in the picture. The teip tape does not break and continues to wind down the wire - the stem.
It turned out to be a beautiful rose. Now the leaves in the bud can be given a variety of shapes.
According to the described scheme, the rest of the "sweet roses" are made for a bouquet of sweets with their own hands. For a small basket, as in the picture, it is enough to collect 30-35 roses. All of them are of different shapes and ripening times: from unopened buds to those that have bloomed magnificently.
Do-it-yourself candy bouquet No. 4 for the bride from Raffaello and Ferrero Rocher
Bouquets of Raffaello and Ferrero Rocher sweets are extremely popular. On the one hand, these are the most delicious confectionery products. On the other hand, there is a beautiful package, ideal for a sweet bouquet. Weddings played in some style have come into fashion: retro, American-gangster, sweet-lowe, and so on. Brides love to stand out not only with the color of the dress, but also with unusual accessories. A bouquet of sweets can not only be given to the newlyweds, but also made a personal bouquet of the bride.
To create such a bouquet you need to work hard. But if you made the previous flowers from sweets with your own hands, then this one will definitely work too!
Materials at hand: Raffaello and Ferrero Rocher sweets, long skewers, 2 mm wire, corrugated paper or foil, gold-colored ribbons, organza, adhesive tape or teip tape (decorative adhesive-based paper tape), scissors.
Each Raffaello or Ferrero Rocher candy is wrapped in a layer of foil in such a way that a flower with a stem is obtained. You can use only Raffaello sweets, wrapping them in delicate pink organza, as in the picture above.
A skewer and wire are inserted into each resulting flower from below, which are tightly wrapped with another layer of foil.
If pink organza is used, then the receptacle (the base of the bud) is wrapped with a green teip tape.
Pieces of square-shaped fabric are cut out of organza. If you are afraid that the edges of the fabric will begin to crumble at the wrong time, which is unlikely, burn the edges by a candle fire.
These resulting square elements wrap each flower. They are fixed at the base of the bud on a thin ribbon.
All flowers are collected in a bouquet, in which the stems are wrapped with tape. If desired, you can tightly tie it with a ribbon, as described above in the master class for making a bouquet of sweets with tulips with your own hands.
A bouquet of sweets is decorated with corrugated paper. Its upper edge is bent with a pencil or manually. The thin folded edge stretches.
Flowers are tied with a ribbon on a knot with a bow.
In the event that you decorate a bouquet with organza, then the fabric is wrapped in a circle several times. The width of the fabric is equal to the height of the bouquet. The stems are tied with elegant satin ribbons of different colors. It is not recommended to use a stapler to give the top a bouquet of waviness. It will only look beautiful from a distance. In the case of portrait shooting, it will create unnecessary glare and reduce attractiveness. It is enough to bend the layers of organza outward in different places, lower them somewhere. To top it off, use a glue gun and half pearls to decorate the bouquet.
