DIY gifts for Teacher's Day made from sweets

What you need

To make a sweet gift you will need: confectionery, a glue gun, double-sided tape, corrugated (most often) paper, packaging material, decorative elements and material for fastening structures (skewers, cardboard, wire).

Sweets and chocolate must be of high quality.

Since sweet gifts are not eaten immediately, but are often displayed, you should pay attention to the expiration dates of the sweets used.

Start making a gift early, as making small parts takes a lot of time, especially for beginners.

It is not necessary to purchase all the material for making compositions. You can find something at home: foam plastic, toothpicks, beads, buttons, ribbons, cardboard.

Important to consider before making

Remember, does the recipient have any hobbies? They can be reflected in the packaging.
The design of the gift is greatly influenced by the degree of your intimacy. If it is appropriate to give a relative something sweet and personal, then for an employee it is appropriate to give something more universal and discreet.
Since the emphasis is on the box, it should look unusual.
Remember your recipient's favorite treats and add them to the box.
Don’t give up on an idea if it seems like there’s nothing to come up with or it’s difficult. Nowadays you can easily find many master classes and video tutorials online. And if you can’t wait to get started or it’s simply more convenient to do it on video, then here are some interesting options. Below you will find the same instructions, but with a photo.

Candy stand

The most popular are bouquets of sweets.

.
These could be roses, tulips, crocuses or huge peonies. In order to make a gift for Teacher's Day with your own hands from sweets, it is better to choose small sweets with a round or oval shape. For production you will need:

candies;
skewers or floral wire;
tape or decorative tape;
glue gun, double-sided tape or thread;
corrugated or crepe paper (green and colored);
packaging material;
decorative elements.

In the case of a bouquet, round candies, like the core of flowers, are perfect

In details!

How to make a bouquet of sweets

We attach the candy to the skewer. You can tie it with thread or stick it with tape. We cut out the petals for the bud from colored paper and fasten them on top of the candy. This can be done using a glue gun, double-sided tape or regular thread. Ideally, the confectionery product should be hidden inside the bud. We wrap the skewer itself and the place where the candy is attached with green tape or decorative tape. It turns out to be a stem. We make leaves from green corrugated paper and attach them to the stem.

We make the rest of the flowers by analogy. We collect flowers into a bouquet and package them beautifully. To add originality, the bouquet can be decorated with beads, sprigs made of floral wire and foil and other decorative elements. To make a gift for Teacher's Day with your own hands from sweets, instead of packaging, you can take yellow autumn leaves. However, such a composition will not last long.

Candy compositions “Magazine” and “Notebook”

School magazine

- this is an interesting, and most importantly “on-topic” gift for Teacher’s Day made from sweets. To do this, we buy a box of chocolates with a lid that opens like a book. The size of the box should match the size of the magazine. We cover the inside and outside with colored paper or foil. Inside, along with the sweets, you can write and put a beautiful congratulation.

Next we make the cover. To do this, we print out the signature “School Magazine” on a printer and attach it to the outside. Decorate with decorative elements. These could be beads, small flowers, or an attached pen with a ruler. We glue ribbons on the inside.

By analogy with a magazine, you can make a laptop

. Instead of the screen, place a sheet of paper printed on a color printer with an image of the desktop. The keyboard will be candy from the box. And the body can be made from small chocolates.

From kinder surprises

A children's cake can be made from kinder surprises.

To work you will need:

chocolate eggs (3-5 pcs.);
Kinder confectionery tiles (their quantity is determined by the size of the gift);
colored cardboard;
cardboard packaging for pastries or cake (1 pc.);
satin red ribbon (1 m);
thick sheets of cardboard (1-2 pcs.);
double-sided tape (1/2 pack);
glue gun;
confetti.

Step-by-step production:

The cardboard base is adjusted to the required diameter and height of the chocolate bars.
The blank is covered with bright cardboard.
The chocolate is attached around the circumference with double-sided tape.
The cake is tied in the center with a satin ribbon and a lush bow is formed.
The top tier is decorated with chocolate eggs and a soft toy.
If necessary, the space inside the box is filled with shaped cookies and chocolate bars.

Fruit inserts

We will decorate all this (the large space between the roses) with inserts with apples and pears. How to make them, see the following photos.

A special simple MK for you.

I secure the wire with a drop of hot glue, piercing the apple (pear), and then taping it with a strip of green corrugated paper with leaves. It turns out very beautiful.

We arrange it in a bouquet. Let's see.

All good? Then we secure these inserts with hot glue. Now we need green sisal to create a grass effect and decorate the base of the bottom.

For beauty, I also made this bow from different ribbons and glued it to the side in the corner.

After we see that everything suits us and there is nothing left to add, we insert a can of coffee (I glued it with a drop of hot glue to the bottom) and boxes of marshmallows. They were also secured.

I also placed sisal between the jar and the marshmallows and thereby removed all unnecessary things that should not be seen.

I used ribbons to connect the handles of our handbag for convenience.

And voila. The gift is ready.

sandpaper;
decoupage napkin;
acrylic paints (preferably bright colors);
shellac;
bitumen;
scissors;
rhinestones;
sponge;
tassels;
cinnamon;
coffee beans.

Instructions:

First, carefully sand a small wooden box and cover it with bright paint.
After this, we take a beautiful decoupage napkin and attach it to the surface of the workpiece.
We print any design on the printer, cut it out, put it on the box and apply a little paint with a sponge.
We treat the edges of the box with bitumen (it creates a darkening effect).
We apply shellac, wait until it dries, and then go over the box with sandpaper.
If desired, we decorate the outer part of the object with rhinestones, and put coffee beans and cinnamon inside for half an hour so that the box begins to smell pleasant.
After the time has passed, pour out the food and place the candies in the box. That's it, you can give the box as a gift!

For best results, the relief coating should be lightly rubbed with a damp cloth.
