Let's look at unusual, but simple ideas of sweet sets that do not require strong costs - both time and money.

When creating a sweet floral composition, materials are used that are used by florists, with the exception of an absorbent sponge, which can be replaced with ordinary polystyrene foam or other cheap analogs (a floral sponge keeps moisture so that flowers do not fade, but we don’t need this function). You will need the following materials and tools:

• double-sided tape or glue gun;
• wrapping paper for flowers;
• corrugated paper;
• multi-colored ribbons;
• artificial stems for flowers or sticks that you can wrap with green corrugated paper or paint (in case it is not a plastic base) green;
• candy;
• base (pot or bottle) as desired.

First of all, it is worth deciding on the color scheme of the bouquet. If you are an inexperienced master, it is better to take 2-3 shades of one color. Complicated compositions are best collected if you already have experience working with these materials. Next is to choose sweets, better round shapes, it’s more convenient to work with them.

After you have decided on the sweets, you will need to wrap them in the petals that are cut out corrugated paper. Wrap the sweets with petals and glue the edges with tape or glue in such a way as to leave two or three centimeters of the sweet product below. Attach the stem to the bottom. One sweet flower is ready!

We make the right amount, insert them into the foam and wrap them in brown paper. We tie with a ribbon and round off the ends.

To create such a presentation, you will additionally need a wicker basket. We insert polystyrene inside, empty juice boxes can also come up to fix the stems in the basket.

Next, we decorate sweets in the form of flowers, for example, peonies or daisies. We strengthen the petals so that the candy looks like the core of a flower. You can decorate the finished bouquet with beads, ribbons, artificial flowers and herbs.

To create this composition you need beautiful flower paper and ribbon. We form a bag that we fill with all kinds of sweets: sweets, marshmallows, waffles, etc. For presentation design, you can use a sweet powder or even fruits and berries.

The most popular attribute of the New Year holidays is the tree. Even children can make a sweet tree. To do this, it is enough to make a foam cone, attach the sweets to the sticks (toothpicks) and insert them into the cone.

You can decorate this composition with tinsel, corrugated paper, home-made or purchased snowflakes. For the Christmas tree, you can make a base - in the New Year's style, an decorated bag or box.

The basis for such an unusual gift will serve champagne bottle, which is closed with sweets with a yellow or golden wrapper (it is better to fix the sweets on double-sided tape) to the base of the bottle’s neck. We hide the neck under the cut out of green paper (you can take holographic paper for a fashion effect) tops. Gift pineapple is ready!

For Easter, it is also popular to use sweet gifts, mostly they are made from kinder surprises. You can arrange a gift in different ways, for example, in a Western style, simply by putting it in a basket.

Making a gift is one of the most important points. The gift should look beautiful not only from the inside, but also from the outside. Sweet sets decorated as bouquets or flower baskets do not need additional packaging. The bouquet is already in beautiful wrapping paper, and the basket can additionally be wrapped with transparent floral paper and tied with ribbon.

Packaging sweet sets is relevant only if you give just sweets. Any gift boxes are suitable for this, and you can make them yourself. Let's look at some simple and original packaging options for sweets.

• Jar. A very simple and effective way to make a small pleasant sweet gift. Jars are best taken in small or medium sizes with lockable lids. Before filling the jar with sweets (chewing sweets, marmalades, marshmallows or marshmallows are best suited for such a gift), it is worth decorating it.

You can issue it with special markers for drawing on glass or paper applications. The filled jar can be supplemented with a bright ribbon and attach a small greeting card with wishes.

• Box. At first glance, this is a fairly standard package. However, a variety of options for wrapping paper allows you to turn any box into a real masterpiece. Besides sweets, a box can be filled with multi-colored confetti. You can decorate it with twigs or small flowers (dried, alive, artificial).

• Bow. You can decorate a gift bag, bag or box with an original bow. There are a lot of options for manufacturing bows for packaging, beautiful wrapping paper, multi-colored ribbons, lace, braid and even bright pages from magazines.
