New Year's gifts made of sweets and corrugated paper.

Original New Year's candy compositions

To make these gifts we require:

transparent vase,
Santa Claus figurine,
assorted candies, 3 Twix bars,
5 red shiny silk branches with leaves,
red and gold paper, red garlands, red satin ribbon, green ribbon,
floral sponge, wire or wooden skewers,
tools (scissors, wire cutters and glue).

Step 1: Take a clear vase

Step 2 Place the Santa Claus figurine inside the vase. It will be more secure if you secure it with double-sided tape.

You can use other Christmas figures (snowman, deer, etc.). First choose a figurine, then select candies to decorate with to match it.

The figurine should occupy 2/3 of the volume of the vase. If you take a small one, the vase will look empty.

Step 3: Take a floral sponge. Cut it to fit the neck of the vase (it should look like a stopper to the vase).
Cut squares of red and gold glitter paper. Place them together and place the sponge in the center of the squares.
Wrap the paper around the sponge and insert it into the neck of the vase. You can use glue (or double-sided tape) to secure the sponge more firmly in the vase.

Step 4. You can also glue a satin ribbon around the neck of the vase.

Step 5: Take three Twix bars. Using glue, attach two wooden skewers to each of them, as shown in the photo. Use two sticks to securely hold heavy bars.

Step 6: Stick these Twix “flowers” ​​into the sponge, forming a triangle.

Step 7 Insert 5 red glitter sprigs with leaves behind the Twix bars to form a fan shape.

Step 8. Make “flowers” ​​from other candies. You can simply attach the candies to the sticks, or disguise the “stems” using a Christmas garland.
You can wrap a red garland around wooden sticks or attach pieces of glitter paper.

New Year's compositions - a tribute to fashion and traditions

Preparing for the New Year is a procedure no less pleasant than celebrating. Therefore, making compositions always brings a lot of pleasure and positive emotions.

New Year's crafts are not only indispensable attributes of the festive decoration of the house, but also stylish decorative interior elements that will always be in trend. They are usually used to decorate tables, doors, windows, walls, furniture, and some of them can be hung above a door or window. Also popular are colorful garlands, which will become the final touch in the design of your home interior.

In this article we will offer you several options for creating compositions for the New Year with your own hands. You don't need to be a natural designer to make them. You just need to arm yourself with patience, a good mood and imagination. Well, shall we get started?

Compositions of artificial and fresh flowers for the New Year

You can create elegant and fashionable arrangements of artificial or fresh flowers that will become a bright decoration for your holiday table, living room or kitchen set. For fans of stylish floristry, the following options for floral ensembles are perfect:

Candles with floating flowers.

At first glance, it may seem that making such candles yourself is quite difficult. However, it is not.

To make them, you will need:

• glass goblet (wine glass, glass or beautiful jar) with water,
• small candles for aroma lamps with tin trays,
• flowers (real or artificial)
• and beads (you can use pebbles).

Water can be colored using dye. We place beads and flowers at the bottom of the container, fill them with water, and lower a candle onto the water on top (don’t worry, it’s lighter than water, so it won’t drown).

Flowers and candles on the festive table.

The combination of these two elements will give your holiday table an atmosphere of luxury and romance. Creating such compositions is elementary.

You need to place a long candle on a saucer and arrange bright flowers around it. Candles can be placed in beautiful glasses and placed on a wooden stand.

New Year's minimalism.

The following decoration option, shown in the photo, will be suitable for adherents of this style. You can place a Christmas tree ball (preferably large and colorful) and a flower bud in a glass candy dish or cake maker. These elements can be supplemented with small branches of pine needles or sweets.

Lush bouquets.

The “highlight” of the New Year’s decor will be flower arrangements, which can include greenery, fir branches, citrus fruits or toys. You can combine these elements in any way you like. For example, choose small flowers for a bouquet, but add more pine needles to it. Bouquets with oranges, tangerines or lemons will be especially popular in the New Year of the Red Monkey.

Flowers in the interior.

There can be a huge number of variations of floral arrangements for interior decoration. Leaves, Christmas tree decorations, pine needles, fruits, candies and flowers can be placed in beautiful glass vases or on porcelain plates. You can also put them in a beautiful cardboard box or casket, decorating it with ribbons, bows, figurines of plants and animals. An excellent option would be bouquets and wreaths of pine needles and flowers on tables.

Below we offer several photos of flower arrangements for New Year's decorations.

It is better to start preparing material for the future composition in advance.

In a separate box you can collect decorative stones, beads, beads, silk ribbons, artificial flowers, candles, colored laces, double-sided tape, cones, corrugated paper, wire, organza, sisal fiber, felt and much more that may be useful for decorating the composition .

It’s elementary simple: we make a New Year’s bouquet

One option for such a New Year’s craft could be a bouquet of flowers and pine needles in a basket. To make it we will need: three types of flowers (preferably different shades), spruce branches, a basket, apples, a floral sponge (it can be replaced with a regular one), good adhesive tape, thin wooden sticks, artificial snow in a can, glue, decorations and a candle.

All is ready? Then let's begin.

1. First you need to cut the sponge so that it follows the shape of the basket.
2. After this, you need to place it inside the basket and secure it firmly with tape.
3. Flowers and branches of pine needles should be placed evenly on the sponge, in a spiral.
4. We will insert a candle into the center of the bouquet.
5. We will attach apples and cones to the ends of wooden sticks using glue (it is better to use hot glue for a hot glue gun).
6. Is the composition ready? Then you can cover it with a light layer of artificial snow. This New Year's miracle will be a wonderful decoration for a holiday table or room.

For greater clarity, we offer you step-by-step photo instructions that show how you can quickly and easily create such a composition.

Evergreen beauty: New Year's compositions from coniferous branches

New Year's holidays, of course, cannot do without crafts made from pine needles. Quite often, additional components in them are candles, ribbons and Christmas tree decorations. We bring to your attention several possible options for such jewelry.

Spectacular bouquets of spruce paws.

Compositions made from fir branches in the form of bouquets will look very bright in the interior decor. They are usually placed in low vases, on dishes, plates or trays.

In the center of such an ensemble you can place a tall red or white candle or a decorative candle in a glass. This year you can supplement them with exotic fruits, for example, oranges decorated with clove buds.

Wreaths for doors and walls.

These attributes of New Year and Christmas are considered classic. There can be many options for such decorations.

• The basis for such wreaths can be either natural pine needles (arborvitae or Christmas tree), or New Year's tinsel, birch branches, paper, fruits, sweets and even pasta coated with golden paint.
• You can decorate the wreath with whatever your heart desires: bows, homemade boxes, ribbons, toys, Christmas balls, decorative straws, pine cones and even cinnamon sticks. In the photo you see various options for such wreaths.

In the next video, a professional floral designer will show and tell you how to make a wreath of pine needles yourself.

To make such a wreath stylized according to the theme of the New Year of the Golden Dog, you can attach small toys in the form of doggies to it, weave spikelets into it, or sew small puppies from yellow fabric. Such elements will make the New Year's wreath unique.

Small compositions.

To prevent the interior from being overcrowded with bulky compositions, make several small crafts from pine needles. For example, you can tie twigs and several cones with a large bow (preferably in a bright color).

Also popular today are small compositions of Christmas tree balls and pine branches on wooden dishes in the Dutch style.

Needles are a very convenient material for crafts, because they retain their color and properties for a long time. Therefore, compositions made from spruce branches or thuja will delight you with their splendor for more than one week.

Popular decor: candy compositions

Crafts made from sweets and other sweets will look no less beautiful. It is important to choose those that have a bright wrapper. Compositions made from them are considered the easiest to produce. There are a great many ideas for them. We will give a few.

Candles and candies in glass.

Small candies or colored sweets are placed in a large glass jar or wine glass, and a candle is placed in the center. Simple, fast and beautiful, right?

To make this composition in the style of the Year of the Fire Rooster, you can place a small felt chicken in a container with candies. On the jar itself you can make the inscription “2017” or some short wish (motto) for the New Year with colored markers or acrylic paints.

A bouquet of sweets is a wonderful gift for any occasion. In this master class, we invite you to create a large basket of roses from corrugated paper, assembled into an amazing New Year's composition.

To create a New Year's bouquet we will need:

• Basket.
• Candies of your choice (we used Korkunov candies for the blossoming roses and small candies with hazelnuts for the buds.
• Corrugated paper in white and green.
• Wire 0.3 mm.
• Skewers and 1.5 mm wire for stems.
• Floral tape - ribbon.
• Blue organza.
• Foam paste.
• Various decorations to decorate the composition.

So let's get started.

Our basket will consist of white blooming roses and closed buds.

Blooming roses made of corrugated paper.

1. Make the middle of the rose. To do this, cut out 6*10 cm rectangles from white corrugated paper. Slightly round the top of the rectangles.

2. For the petals, cut out rectangles 5*7 or 6*7 cm. One rose usually takes 6-9 petals.

3. Round the top of the petals and narrow the stem. Using a knitting needle or skewer, twist the petals a little. Stretch the centers, as if forming “boats”. You should end up with petals like the photo below.

4. Prepare the wire by bending one end into a loop.

5. Now take a 6*10 cm rectangle and wrap the Korkunov candy in it, tightly wrapping the paper around it. As a result, the candy will hold tightly and will not fall out.

6. Take the wire, insert it into the resulting bud and secure it with a thin wire. The base of the rose is ready.

7. Now, wrap the petals around the bud tightly, we used 7 pieces. Here's what happened:

8. Moving on to the sepals. To do this, we cut out rectangles 7*8 cm. You can also cut 5*8, as you like. We fold them and cut out the petals. We twist the tops.

9. Attach the sepals to the rose using wire.

10. We wrap the leg with tape. To ensure that the tape adheres well to the flower, you can glue double-sided tape on top. This is the rose we ended up with.

11. Let’s finish decorating the rosette. To do this, cut out squares of approximately 20*20 cm from blue organza and beautifully wrap them around the leg, securing them with wire.

Closed rose bud made of corrugated paper.

1. Cut out 7*7.5 cm rectangles from corrugated paper. Cut out the tops in a smoothed “pique” shape.

2. Fold the “tails” of the candy and wrap it tightly in paper as in the photo below:

3. Insert a skewer and wrap the bottom corners around it, like this:

4. We wrap it with wire and the bud is ready. Please note: you don’t need to attach the candy to anything, we don’t use glue either! Everything is holding up great!

5. For the sepals, cut out 5*8 cm rectangles, cut out the petals (to the middle of the rectangle!).

6. We stretch, twist the tops, and use scissors to give some “carelessness” to the petals.

7. Attach the sepals to the bud.

8. wrap the tape with tape.

Assembling a basket for a bouquet of sweets.

1. Cut a circle out of foam plastic, wrap it in blue crepe paper and place it on the bottom of the basket. For better fixation, you can use glue.

2. We also decided to line the edges with organza.

3. We stick in 3 sheets for decoration, purchased from the Fix Price store. (by the way, you can buy many different “decorations” on this network; the balls used below were also purchased there.)

4. Now we create a composition by “sticking” roses at your discretion and completing the design of the basket, this is what we got:

Gifts made from candies for the New Year 2019 are an excellent alternative to all other souvenirs. After all, such a gift gives joy twice: the first time when presented, the second time when eating sweets. And if the gift is also made with your own hands, then the recipient will be triple pleased that you spent your time and put your soul into creating the surprise.

1. plastic bottle (1 l);
2. chocolates in pink wrapper (about 60 pieces, but it’s better to buy more);
3. pink fabric (flap approximately 30*30 cm);
4. felt (flap approximately 20*20 cm);
5. chenille wire (length no more than 10 cm);
6. a pair of eyes for stuffed animals from a craft store;
7. hot glue;
8. stationery knife;
9. scissors;
10. stapler

It takes about 1.5 hours to make one such pig. Let's not waste time and get started!

Stage No. 1

Let's make a pig's body from a plastic bottle. Cut off the neck and bottom with a knife.

Stage No. 2

Cut the top of the bottle with scissors. Each cut is approximately 5 cm. Steps are 1.5-2 cm.

Stage No. 3

• Glue the fabric to the bottom or attach it with a stapler.

• We cover the bottle with cloth - the body of the pig.

Stage No. 5

• Glue the legs so that an even amount of candy fits between them - one or two. Otherwise, the fabric will appear through them, and this is not very beautiful.

• Then we do the muzzle. Cut a strip of felt 1.5 cm wide and approximately 20 cm long.
• We roll it into a ring - this is the beginning of the muzzle.
• We also cut out a circle from felt, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the folded strip - this is a patch.

Stage No. 7

• Glue the muzzle and snout to the appropriate places. We draw nostrils on the patch or make them from felt.
• Cut out the ears from felt and glue them in place.
• Glue on the eyes.

The pig is ready! A simplified option for creating such a gift from candies for the New Year 2019 with your own hands is not to cover the bottle with fabric, but to paint it pink with acrylic paint from a spray can. Or pink nail polish. You can also first pour jelly beans or monpensiers inside the bottle to make the pig rattle. The child will be delighted!
