Topiary from chupa chups. Mini-topiary - original interior decoration. So we will need

Sweet tree - an unusual gift!

A sweet tree (candy tree) can be given not only as additional gift but also as an independent gift.

The occasion can be absolutely anything: birthday or anniversary, wedding or wedding anniversary, christening, New Year, March 8, Valentine's Day or even February 23.

By selecting the appropriate color solution and adding various accessories, such a tree will be pleasant to receive for both a man and a woman.

For sweet wood, prepare

* ball for the base (foam or dry sphere, you can make a lump of newspapers, tie it with threads, but this worst case). The diameter depends on the size of the tree you want to get. I take 12 cm in diameter.
* candies
* fabric or corrugated paper
* wire for the base of the trunk
* cord for twisting the trunk
* a pot in which we will plant a tree
* gypsum
* sisal
* scissors
* thermal gun
* beads, ribbons

I did not use all the materials from the photo in the process of making wood.

We start with the trunk. We take the wire, fold it in several layers to the thickness that we want to get the tree trunk. The length is greater than the height of the tree, we will need to form the "roots" and bend the trunk.

We fix the cord at a small distance from the edge of the wire and begin to wrap the barrel. Leave an empty wire for the roots.

We form the roots.

We put the ball on the trunk, look at the height of the tree. You can adjust the height by pushing the ball deeper on the barrel.

We proceed to the formation of the crown. I like to work with fabric more, so I cut squares from 3 types of material. They are called pounders. Used to fill the space between candies. In the process of making wood, I decided to replace the beige pounds with white ones.

Candies can be attached in several ways. I'll just glue them on.

I glue the pounds to the candy, forming a flower with a candy-core. I glue it to the ball.

Gradually fill the entire surface of the ball with sweets. I insert fungi into the gaps between the flowers.

We plant our tree. We breed gypsum, insert a tree, fill in the roots and set to harden.

After hardening, you can proceed to the most pleasant and very favorite part of me - decoration.
To hide the plaster, glue sisal on top. The color matched me red.

We glue beads, ribbon bows on the fungi, tie a bow of two ribbons on the trunk.

I also made spirals from tape and glued them on as well.

It turned out very bright, colorful and festive!

Topiary - unusual fashion decoration for the interior, combining a wide variety of materials, shapes and textures.

Topiary or candy tree is great idea for a gift for any holiday or birthday.

The original tree can serve as an interior decoration, and even become a dish for holiday table. In this article we will tell you in detail how to make such a tree with your own hands.

What is a topiary

Topiary ("European Tree", "Tree of Happiness") - an interior decoration or a gift in the style of European floristry; a product that has become very popular these days. The craft is a small decorated figure in the form of a tree.

Modern needlewomen use different kinds natural, artificial, decorative materials. The topiary consists of the so-called crown, base, trunk, pot and decorative ornaments.

The materials for such a tree can be both sweets and other goodies:

• sweets with or without a wrapper;
• marshmallow or "Marshmallow";
• icing, chocolate, nuts as a decoration;
• lollipops;
• marmalade.

You can use any candy as a material

The content for such trees should be chosen according to your preferences. The main thing in the product will be its originality, individuality, presentation and beauty.

tree of happiness

Materials for manufacturing

Firstly, in order to make a tree out of sweets, you need to have patience, strength and have enough free time to implement your plan.

Topiary is a way for modern craftswomen to express themselves and please loved ones

Secondly, the following materials must be available:

• Pot. It should be combined with the size of the topiary crown, with its color and style. Instead, you can use a vase or any other suitable container.
• A stick or rod where the frame of the product will be attached.
• Base in the form of a ball, made of paper, papier-mâché or foam.
• Glue.
• Threads.
• Scissors.
• Sponge, styrofoam, decorative stones or something else to fill the pot.
• Ribbons, corrugated paper, organza for decoration.
• Decorative elements (beads, artificial flowers and blades of grass, lace, etc.)

Topiary materials

The selection of gamma for crafts cannot be neglected. For a gift to a man, bright and girlish colors will be out of place and vice versa. A gift intended for a man should be kept in a calm color scheme and decorative embellishments are kept to a minimum. In the case of a gift for a girl or woman, the colors can be absolutely anything, the main thing is that they are combined with each other. The number of decorations is selected based on tastes and preferences.

Barrel for a future product

Before you start assembling a tree from candies, you first need to decide on the shape, size and length of the trunk of the craft. The composition itself is usually visually divided in a ratio of 5:3, of which 5 parts are occupied by the trunk and crown of the tree, and 3 parts are separated into a pot or stand.

The trunk can be in the form:

• processed wooden stick;
• several bundles of wire twisted together;
• green metal rod (usually used for the garden);
• Chinese food sticks tied together.

To give naturalness to a tree, the trunk should be given bends, if the material itself allows it.

Wire barrel

For beauty, you can wrap the trunk of the product with satin ribbons or glue a couple of small decorative flowers, twigs to it, glue it with beads, paint it in suitable color spray paint or come up with your own version.

A budget option

Crown making

How to make the main part of the craft? Creating a crown is the most creative and complex process. First you need to decide whether the sweets will be "edible" in the future. If so, then they should be attached to the foam plastic frame with a toothpick, and if the candies are in a wrapper, then they can also be attached with glue, but so that it is easy to get them later. If the candies are used solely for decoration, they can be glued with strong glue.

Crown varieties

The ability to change the crown depending on the event will make the topiary multifunctional. In this case, the glue should be selected fragile or the frame of the craft should be made removable. Do-it-yourself candy products with such properties will attract a lot of attention.

If the marshmallow in the product will be the main focus, then you don’t even need to add decorative elements. Glue the frame cling film and smear it with an edible sticky cream, which makes it easy to attach the marshmallow.

Flowers for the crown

It is advisable to select sweets that match in color with each other, having approximately the same shape and size. Candies different sizes it would be better to wrap it in paper of different colors.

sweet flowers

To give sweets more holiday look, they can be pasted over cut from corrugated paper petals so that everything together looks like a real rosebud, peony or other flowers.

An example of creating flowers

The number of such buds will depend on the frame itself. It is better to leave space between the candies and fill it with decorative twigs or flowers than to try hard to attach all the buds.

After preparing all the components of the crown, the flowers are attached to the frame with glue, toothpicks - depending on the situation.

Tree assembly

For the final stage, you should have more patience.

• We cut out a piece of the required shape from the foam plastic so that it fits easily into the topiary pot.
• Lubricate the bottom of the pot with glue, attach foam plastic to it, press it tightly for better fixation. If the pot is filled with plaster, then you can decorate the base with artificial moss or decorative pebbles.
• We insert the already made barrel into the foam plastic, having previously coated the end of the barrel with glue.
• To hide an ugly piece of material in a pot, you can close it by pouring decorative pebbles into the pot or cutting out the necessary figure from paper and pasting it on top. You can also drape a piece of foam using beads, satin ribbons or decorative figurines.
• We also attach the crown of the tree to the trunk, smearing its end with glue.

Master class on creating a tree from candies

Usually it is customary to give flowers, sweets or any other gifts for the holidays, but there will always be a candy topiary win-win to surprise someone.

Brightness and originality is achieved not only through the form, but also through the use of many color combinations in the composition.

Such a gift is not only original, but also delicious. He will surely be remembered by the guests and the hero of the occasion. A sweet tree can be made not only for a gift, but also for decorating the interior of your home. It will be a great addition, replacing fresh flowers or figurines.

Flower yummy!!!

Craft by hand.
At the same time, I usually do not care what to do: sew, knit, draw or glue. The main thing is to do something quietly in front of the TV and enjoy the view of a sleeping child.

Knowing this, one of my work colleagues asked me to make her a candy bouquet. I have not done this yet, but after browsing the Internet and looking at other people's examples, I started building a flower yummy. This is how I did it.
I bought 3 packs of these sweets

I took green and white corrugated paper. From it cut out leaves and petals. I made the base of the leaf a little narrower and twisted it with a tube.




For more elegance, I took five more candies and tied them to long sticks. The sweets were wrapped in white tulle and tied with a gold ribbon.

She tied the wire to one of the tails of the candy, then attached white and green leaves around. All this was wrapped around the top with paper wax tape.

I took a roll of transparent wrapping paper and cut it into squares somewhere 15x15. She folded the squares so that a bash would turn out from the central part, to which then attach the wire.

I cut out a cube from foam plastic - 15x15 in size. The base was wrapped in green paper. Yes, the view from below was aesthetic. I glued the paper to the styrofoam using a hot glue gun. The decorated cube was glued to the stem of the base of the bouquet.

At the base of the bouquet (bottom) I inserted bundles twisted from wrapping paper.

Then, alternating candy flowers and bunches, she filled the entire surface of the foam.








I stuck these 5 candies into the top of the bouquet. I glued the golden beads with the same hot glue. That's all - a colleague's gift wedding bouquet is ready!
