Autumn bouquet of chocolates

The art of drawing up bouquets of sweets appeared relatively recently, but has already won many hearts. In fact, in a situation where an ordinary bouquet or a box of chocolates seem boring and banal, a bouquet of chocolates will be an excellent solution. There are many ways to make a bouquet of chocolates, you can do it using paper, cloth, fresh flowers and even autumn leaves. In our master class we will tell you what is needed for a bouquet of sweets and show step by step the production of a bouquet of sweets "Autumn Waltz".

1. The basis of our composition were roses from maple leaves. Therefore, the production of the autumn bouquet will begin with them.
2. For each rose, we need 6-7 maple leaves. Leaves should be fresh and flexible, preferably monophonic.
3. Fold the first sheet in half across the central core face outward. We roll the resulting workpiece into a dense roll - this will be the core of the bud.
4. Around the core bud we lay petals. To do this, take a sheet and put the core in its center. Then it is necessary to bend the sheet outwards so that the inflection line is 1.5 cm above the core. The protruding part of the sheet is also bent back and wrap the folded sheet around the core on both sides. We protect the sheet at the bottom of the bud.
5. For each next petal, we repeat these operations, placing the leaves on opposite sides of the bud.
6. To fix the bud, we will tie its base with threads.
7. In order for the buds to retain their fine appearance for a long time, they must be impregnated with paraffin. It is done this way: the paraffin is melted in a water bath and dipped into it with flowers, holding it by the leg. After the whole rose is covered with paraffin, it is laid out to dry on baking paper. In the same way, the leaves that will be used in the composition are also paraffin.
8. We will make the stems of roses from bamboo sticks for barbecue. We fasten the buds to the skewers with the help of an adhesive tape.
9. We will decorate roses with the help of a floral net.
10. After the design of the multicolored mesh roses will look like this.
11. Attach the sweets with scotch tape and decorate them with a multicolored mesh.
12. Let's start making a skeleton for a bouquet. For these purposes, you can buy a special workpiece in a flower shop or bend a framework of soft wire.
13. As the basis on which the whole composition will hold, we use the mounting foam. Fold out a paper of a suitable size, fill it with foam and leave it to dry for the morning.
14. Zadekoriruem skeleton with the help of leaves. Glue paraffin-impregnated leaves better with an adhesive gun.
15. Let's start assembling the bouquet. Cut the skewers to the required length and stick them into the foam base. Since the mounting foam is very hard, it is very difficult to pierce it directly with a skewer. Therefore, it is better to make a hole with an awl beforehand.
16. To make the bouquet more festive and easy, fill its center with one-color sweets, for example, "Rafaello".
17. Fill the spaces between candy and roses with a floral net and make from the mesh a cover for the bouquet so that it retains its beauty as long as possible.

Our bouquet of autumn leaves and sweets is ready. Such a bouquet will be an excellent and non-standard gift in any situation - a birthday boy, mother or beloved teacher.

Also from candy, you can make other original gifts, such as wood or heart .
