Hello, dear guests of my blog. We continue the holiday theme, and today I will tell you how to make a gift from sweets with your own hands for various events.
It's no secret that chocolate in small quantities is one of the sources of joy in our body and is the most favorite treat for children. And souvenirs are something that both adults and children love. Today we will combine this into a single whole and prepare delicious souvenirs. We will need certain skills and simple supplies.
Basket of sweets
The basket looks luxurious and elegant. It can decorate a room for a long time and delight the person to whom it is presented. For this craft you will need a very ordinary basket made of wicker. They weave it from paper tubes or build something similar to a bed from long sweets.
In the process of making a candy basket, you will need corrugated paper. Sweet flowers will be held on a wire wrapped in paper. As a base, you will need a circle of foam, which is placed on the bottom of the basket. Wire branches are fixed in it.
When the sweet design is ready, it should definitely be decorated. Beads, satin ribbons and other decorative elements are suitable for this.
DIY candy crafts are suitable for any event in the life of children, women and men.
Decorating a box of chocolates for a teacher
Chocolates or bouquets of flowers are given to a favorite school teacher, and a beautifully decorated box of chocolates will help replace them. To make this craft you will need a sheet of black and wrapping paper (you can use craft paper), a pen with white ink, PVA glue and a box of candies.
The box is packed in wrapping paper, carefully gluing the joints, and black paper is glued to the top side, on which you can write traditional inscriptions for the board and line it.
Candy decoration for the room
You can dress up anything with sweets. You can make a bright garland from chocolates and lollipops. In a children's room, decorating a doll's house would be a great option. The photo of candy crafts shows samples.
- You will need:
- Candy canes;
- wide chocolate bar;
- satin ribbon.
Take two candy canes and place a chocolate bar between them. The craft is ready! All that remains is to secure the elements together. It is not necessary to use glue. It’s quite possible to get by with a ribbon, tying up the sweets.
A sweet sleigh will bring a lot of delight to a child when he finds it under the Christmas tree.
Truffle heart
Another worthy option to present a surprise is to collect a love parcel in the shape of a heart. Thick cardboard is needed as a base. Next, a heart is cut out of it. The cardboard pieces are then glued together using hot glue. As an alternative to cardboard, foam can be used.
At the next stage, the foam is decorated with paper of pastel, delicate colors. Then the truffles are laid out. Fresh flower buds inserted between the truffles will add harmony to the sweet heart. But in this option, you definitely need to place a damp flower sponge under them.
Marmalade balls for table decoration
You can decorate a festive table not only using dishes, candlesticks and beautiful napkins. Marmalade balls look very original and stylish and to make them you will need a foam mold, marmalades of several colors and toothpicks that can be broken in half in advance.
Toothpicks are stuck into the spherical base and one marmalade candy is fixed on their top; it is important to fill the entire base for the aesthetic design of the craft.
Any craft made from candy wrappers for kindergarten or school, and a product with real candies, will not serve long as a decor. Therefore, it is important not to forget that a sweet and beautifully designed gift can be supplemented with self-made cards, souvenirs and other gift items.
All such gifts will naturally be an excellent addition to the holiday and using different ideas you can decorate your own home and holiday table, emphasize the solemnity of the moment and please your loved ones.
Snowflake
It's easy to make a snowflake out of candy wrappers. The simplest way is to cut out snowflakes using a special template. The disadvantage of this method is that the size of the craft will be small and there will be little volume. To make the figure magnificent, you will need three candy wrappers, threads and a special stapler.
Performance:
- 1. Fold the wrappers diagonally, trim off the excess to form squares of candy wrappers;
- 2. Starting from the first corner towards the opposite, fold the candy wrapper into a fan; do the same with other candy wrappers;
- 3. Connect three candy wrappers in the center and tie with thread;

- 5. Slightly straighten the resulting snowflake and glue a loop of thread to hang it on the Christmas tree.
Beautiful and bright wreath for the holiday

If you don’t throw them away, but collect them, you can make interesting crafts from candy wrappers, for example, a beautiful and unusual wreath with bright colors.
For this, all the wrappers are divided by color, balls of paper are inserted into them, and then the finished elements are glued to the base according to a well-thought-out color and shade scheme.

A New Year's bouquet of sweets is pleasant for anyone, especially a woman. The huge variety of options directly depends on the manifestation of imagination and available materials.

Sweet golden dumbbell
To make such a delicious product, you will need the following materials:
- cardboard, boxes of candies and marshmallows will do;
- cardboard tube (foil tube for baking);
- Double-sided tape;
- satin ribbon (2 and 2.5 cm wide);
- sharp scissors;
- lighter;
- candies in gold packaging.
First you need to make blanks from cardboard for the so-called pancakes on the bar. You need to cut out 8 circles of different diameters. Half will be 18 cm in diameter, and the other half of the circles will be 14 centimeters. In the middle of the circles, cut a hole the same size as the cardboard tube so that the circles can thread through freely.
All actions to connect and strengthen the dumbbell will be performed using double-sided tape.
Next, wrap the circles with satin ribbon. But before that, connect them to each other. To do this, you need to cover the circles on one side with double-sided tape. Take one small circle and one large one, glue the paper folded into a tube onto the tape on the circles. This is done in order to give volume to the pancakes. The resulting parts can already be wrapped with tape.
The ribbon can be black or white. To prevent the ribbon from moving while wrapping it around the pancakes, the end can be sealed with tape and the edge treated with fire. Wrap the piece with tape, gradually securing it to the cardboard with tape. Once all the circles are wrapped, you can begin wrapping the cardboard tube-rod. First, mask the side holes of the tube with tape, and then cover the entire length.

- Take candies (they should all be in wrappers) - rectangular (the body of the car will be made from them), a couple of round ones to make the headlights, some foam plastic, glue and cardboard.
- The corrugated paper should be a shade that the child will like.
- Make a body out of foam plastic or cardboard (cut and glue) and cover it with corrugated paper.
- Each wheel of the machine is a circle made of thick cardboard, also covered with paper.
- After you have glued the wheels to the future sweet car, it’s time to attach the candies to the body, placing them parallel to each other and glue the headlights - two candies in wrappers.
- A sweet gift is a win-win option, suitable for both a child and an adult.
And such a thing will pleasantly surprise anyone; candy is exactly what everyone wants to see on holiday. Moreover, this way you can create a full-fledged gift that will look gorgeous.
Kids toys
Crafts made from sweets are perfect to please a child. This could be a toy consisting of confectionery products.
Moreover, you will choose both the theme and the design yourself, depending on the interests of your child. Also, any girl will be absolutely delighted if you give her a doll in a dress made of candy.
- The materials you will need are the same as for the bouquet of sweets.
- First, make a stand, because the doll’s outfit will be heavy.
- To do this, you will need polystyrene foam, from which you need to make a hollow rectangle.
- Place the doll in it vertically.
- Cut a cardboard circle, make a slit in it to the center and wrap it around the doll's waist like a skirt.
- Next, wrap the doll in corrugated paper and glue the edges of the paper with glue to make a dress.
Now move on to decorating the outfit.
- The technique is the same as when creating a bouquet - the candies are attached to toothpicks and wrapped in corrugated paper.
- Instead of corrugated paper, wrap some of the candies in organza to make the dress fluffy.
- Pierce the foam that is installed at the base with toothpicks with candies and decorate the dress in this way from the bottom up.
- The lower tier contains candies with organza, the upper tier is made of corrugated paper.
- Make sure that the candies fit tightly to each other.
