Compose a congratulatory or appreciation text, write it on a piece of cardboard and supplement it with candies and chocolates, the name of which suits the meaning.

1. Metal wire.
2. Wooden skewers.
3. Corrugated paper of various colors for decorative purposes.

5. Wrapping paper.
6. Cardboard or felt for making a flower pillow.

Homemade Raffaello

Raffaello is a delicate and deliciously delicious candy that can be made at home. Handmade gifts are always filled with warmth, care and love.

Ingredients:

• Butter – 250 grams.
• Condensed milk – 300 ml.
• Almond.
• Coconut flakes.

Preparation:

• Using a blender, thoroughly beat the butter and condensed milk, gradually adding coconut flakes. The mass should be thick enough so that it can be easily formed into balls.
• Next, you need to roll even, equal-sized balls, placing one nut inside at a time.
• Then we roll the balls in coconut flakes and pack them in an original way.

Decorating the box

There are many ways to decorate the box in which the sweets will be placed. You can use a ready-made option, just changing it a little. Or you can make a container from old tea boxes, cardboard or thick paper.

Finished design

If you have doubts about your own ability to do handicrafts, the easiest option is to take and decorate a ready-made structure. Ordinary boxes are tied with bows, ribbons, lace, and various decorations are glued to tape, glue or a hot gun. We add winter souvenirs to New Year's gifts - pine cones, beads, balls. And only then we add up the goodies.

But it can be not only an ordinary square or rectangular box. For a gift you can use:

• glass containers, including jars and bottles;
• plastic containers;
• collapsible balls (sold in craft stores);
• dense bags with a window.

A sweet gift in a handbag-type box, in a thick envelope or in a ready-made New Year's form will also please anyone with a sweet tooth.
The design depends only on your imagination and time to search for ideas on the Internet. It is best to add tinsel, Christmas tree branches (artificial and natural), balls and pine cones to New Year's gifts. Also, craft stores sell a huge number of semi-finished boxes from which you can make a surprise. They can be cardboard, wood, plywood and other materials. Self-assembled or simply ready for decoration.

DIY box

Assembling the gift box itself is not that difficult. Simple shapes - square and rectangle - allow this to be done even by those who are far from needlework. To create, you will need a diagram, decorations and adhesive material.

And a do-it-yourself surprise box with chocolates or other sweets can be made from unnecessary and ugly boxes. For example, if you cover a tea box, a shoe box, a hat box, or even a simple cardboard TV box with beautiful paper or fabric, you can make a unique container for a gift.

Folding box

The most interesting and fun option for such a gift is an opening box of sweets. Here you will need to spend a little more time, but the result will really surprise everyone. This gift is also called the “Anti-Stress Box”.

Little tips

Creative people who have made such boxes many times often recommend some things that will make the gift even more impressive.

1. Don’t just put sweets in a box randomly. Buy or look for an interesting filler. This can be artificial straw or grass, flower petals, natural tow or sponge. Sheets of colored paper, magazines, old newspapers or even wallpaper cut into strips look beautiful. White paper shavings, confetti and streamers, “rain” and tinsel, artificial or natural spruce branches look great as New Year’s gifts. Large large sweets can be “sprinkled” with small candies, dragees or nuts.

2. You can add other gifts to the box. But it is advisable that they be combined with sweets. It would be nice to put tea, a mug with an original inscription or design, a bottle of expensive alcohol for an adult, a soft toy for a child, etc. in a box with sweets.
3. If the sweet box also has an aesthetic function, try to make sure that the sweets can be easily removed and eaten without damaging the structure. After all, she can please the recipient with her appearance for a long time. Or be used for another purpose - you can store pleasant little things in it.

The old Soviet proverb that the best gift is one made with your own hands remains relevant. And given the love of most people for sweets, a box of sweets as a gift with your own hands is an even more desirable present.

Candy car

Another original idea for a sweet birthday gift for a child. You can surprise your husband with the same gift. Here you will have to show your creativity:

• Prepare foam plastic, wrapped sweets, glue or double-sided adhesive tape, thick paper, markers, foil and a stationery knife.
• From polystyrene foam, cut out the base of the composition - the car body.
• We cut out wheels and a cabin from thick paper and color it with colored felt-tip pens.
• We connect the cabin, body and wheels and cover the car with candies.
• We make the windows on the cabin from foil, and draw eyes on the windshield.
• The finished sweet gift can be decorated in an original way by wrapping it in transparent mica and tying it with a satin ribbon.

Chocolate vases

How to make a sweet present with your own hands?
So, to make original chocolate vases, you will need several balloons, a needle and chocolate. The first step is to inflate the balloons. The larger the ball, the larger the vase. Then melt the chocolate bar in a water bath. Lubricate the top of the ball with sunflower oil, dip it in chocolate and place on a baking sheet until the chocolate mass hardens completely. Next, using a needle, we burst the ball and get cute, tasty vases for candies.

Tulips with truffles

The principle of making a sweet bouquet of sweets with your own hands is similar to the technique of creating a present of roses.

The method of assembling the bud is significantly different: instead of a single ribbon, parts for the inflorescence are prepared. The lower edges of the petals are sewn together with a thin thread, and the upper edges are glued together after attaching the candy.

New Year's sweet gifts

Content:

Sweets for the New Year or Christmas are already a traditional gift for children, but they can be presented in an interesting and original way. Currently, on store shelves you can find many different candies from which you can make a composition, for example, in the form of Santa Claus’s sleigh: we use candy canes as runners, long chocolates as a base, and fill the sleigh with small candies.

You can secure the parts together using narrow tape. The finished composition can be supplemented with a bright satin ribbon or tinsel. This is a great option for a sweet New Year's gift.

Delicious sleigh

The canes will represent runners, and a candy bar or small chocolate bar will be placed on top of them. The back of the sleigh is made from a small chocolate bar, and candies are used for the sides. All this is secured with small pieces of double-sided tape or glue.

To make the sleigh more festive, you can wrap it in cellophane and tie it with a satin ribbon or attach a bow.

How to make a candy bouquet

• Cut the corrugated paper into pieces approximately 8 by 12 cm, fold them in half, cut the ends in the form of semicircles.
• Take the candies and tape them onto the skewers, then decorate these blanks with corrugated paper so that you get sweet roses with a candy-shaped core;
• For splendor, make leaves from green or light green paper. These are pieces approximately 1 by 10 cm with rounded ends. Make them larger, because each flower requires several leaves.
• Glue the resulting green semicircles, twisting the ends, below the petals of the resulting roses. Use the remaining green paper to decorate the skewers so that they do not show through in your bouquet. Secure it with a glue gun.

Collect your delicious bouquet. Tie it with thread for strength and for beauty, wrap it in several layers of paper of a matching color. Decorate with ribbons and beads.
