Hey! The time has come for the most delicious, original and funny gifts! Believe it or not! But we will compose together today! I hope we will surprise everyone with how we decorate the holiday! Therefore, I propose to announce the agenda and open your own creative workshop!
Various options for serving treats to the table
It would seem, well, why invent something, make up some compositions, when the pastry chefs have already invented and composed everything for us in their desserts? And what can you think of, because you can't bend and stick candy? Therefore, I'll start by telling you about the "abilities" of sweets. Of course, in the first place - they delight us with their taste. But what can be done with them, and what ideas embodied in delicacies?
Candies:
- Different in shape and size. This means that you and I can choose exactly the ones that suit us the most.
- Designers of confectionery factories have already “rewarded” candies and chocolates with bright “clothes”. And we can use this in our work.
- You cannot glue the treats themselves, but you can fasten them to the wrapper or by wrapping them in paper packaging.
- Alternatively, you can simply tie the candies together to create a peculiar bouquets.
- If the dessert is in a box, you can think about how to decorate a box of chocolates.
We will try many of these options. And we will try to add a little creativity so that something original will turn out from the simple.
Do-it-yourself sweet gifts
Let's consider several versions, which gifts you can make:
Flowers
Well, a very tasty bouquet in 1 minute
I'll start from the very simple option a bouquet that even a man who is not interested in needlework can master. We make a bag, as for seeds from bright paper and fill it with beautiful goodies, you can dilute it with fresh flowers.
Lily bouquet mini
The second option is more complicated, but in principle, everyone can also do it.
In one of the articles, I have already said how you can "hide" sweets in small bouquets... And today we will make lilies.
We will need:
- Sweets;
- Corrugated paper (wide tape);
- Wire;
- Glue;
- Green paper;
- Scissors;
- Styrofoam;
- Sanitary rubber tape;
- Pot.
Let's do it together in stages do it yourself flowers.
Candy roses
Simple roses with Rafaello
Candy crocuses
Bottle decoration
And again, several options.
One of them is simple. Need to wrap champagne beautiful paper or a cloth, a scarf. And inject flowers with chocolates in a wavy line.
But decorate champagne can be more complicated and in an interesting way... The whole bottle, up to the neck, is wrapped with double-sided tape. Sweets are attached to it with "tails". In this case, it doesn't matter what it will be, chocolate or lollipops, but it is important that their shape is round and that the wrapper is yellow. It is safer to stick on hot glue, but also be careful not to melt the candy.
The neck of the bottle is formed by strips of green paper with a pointed one end. The junction of the "grass" and "bumps" is masked with a bow. We get ... pineapple!
Candy cake
Favorite treat or original present! And again, I will spoil you with several options:
- Decorate the finished port (prepared by yourself or purchased) on the sides with sweets, the length of which is slightly higher than the height of the cake. From above, you can pour or pour chocolate. Or make an installation out of chocolates. Or even easier - decorate with a beautiful marshmallow.
- Cardboard cake. The top can even be decorated with fresh flowers.
We make several layers of "cake" from cardboard. To do this, cut out the circles. 2 large - bottom and first layer, and then smaller and smaller circles. We fasten the cardboard along the edge on the first circle with an edge. We put the second circle on it. Etc. When all the work is done with the cardboard, we place the candies on the sides and glue them to the cardboard, and then we tie them with a beautiful ribbon. It remains only to fill the horizontal surfaces. You can do this with M & M's dragees, or any other sweets. 
Shapes
The most relevant figure is. We will make it with the help of the bobbins remaining from the scotch tape. First, we cut out circles of the same diameter as the bobbins. And we close the holes with them. Now we attach oblong candies to each babin. The main thing is that their length is greater than the width of the bobbin. We tie it with ribbons. This is how you can connect both parts of the figure eight. It remains to apply the pattern to the circles. You can write wishes on them.
Again, let's diversify this option:
- Glue wishes for each delicacy and pack in a cute bag.
- Cooking DIY gift candies... We put a nut, raisins, a piece of an apple, etc. inside them. And we paint: if you come across a nut, to your surprise. Raisins - for fun ...
- We make new packaging for dessert out of paper. We write wishes and pack each chocolate bar. Whoever prints out will read what we want to wish him!

To get started, draw a diagram of a chocolate maker on a sheet of paper, or print it on a printer. This master class has ready template... The dimensions of the postcard correspond to a standard chocolate bar.
Place a ruler against the fold line and draw firmly with an awl to mark fold lines and then bend the cardboard easily.
Glue the chocolate bar together.
Glue the chocolate bar together. From the bottom, so that the chocolate does not fall out, glue a small strip of tape.
Let's start decorating the front side. Cut the patterned cardboard to the required size, cut out the inscription.
Now you need to tint the edges of the decorative cardboard. Rub the blue and purple pastels with the sharp edge of the scissors. Dip a dry cotton swab in the pastel and rub it over the edges of the picture.
Cut off a piece of gauze, sprinkle it with hairspray and wrinkle it.
Twist the stamens together and stick to the gauze. Plant decorative paper flowers on glue, add an inscription, decorate it all with half-beads.

Crafts for a friend with their own hands
If you want to give your girlfriend some jewelry or scarf with flowers, but think that it is not very interesting, then take and make them yourself! Such a gift will be individual and will definitely not leave your friend indifferent. And you can put a piece of your soul into it, and at the same time show your imagination and love for your friend. In this master class, prepared by Anna Moiseeva, we will crochet a light necklace!
In order to knit such a necklace, we need:
- thread of blue, light blue, white;
- hook 1.75 mm;
- scissors;
- needle;
- chain.
For knitting such a product, it is better to take thin yarn. The thinner the better. Our necklace will consist of 7 circles. 1 of them will be the largest and centered. The other 6 are 2 sets of 3. The sets will be the same.
Let's start knitting from the center, that is, from the largest circle. We knit 12 stbn into a sliding loop with blue yarn. We close the circle of the cn and tighten the ring.
We knit 1 row of blue yarn, adding every 2 loops in a row. Closing the row, we change the thread to white. We carry out a row, adding every 3 loops of the row.
And it remains for us to knit the last row. In it, we perform additions every 5 loops of the row. The central circle is ready.
The next circle will have only 4 rows. First, we form a sliding loop with blue yarn and perform 12 stbn into it. This will be considered the first row.
Then we change the thread again, but now to white. We add after 2 loops. Once again we change the thread to blue and knit a row, performing increments every 3 loops of the row.
We knit 1 more exactly the same circle. It remains for us to connect the last 2 circles. These are the smallest details of the necklace.
We knit again 12 stbn in a sliding loop with a blue thread. Then we change it to blue. We carry out a row with an increase through the loop.
We knit the same circle. Now we just need to collect the necklace. To do this, you first need to expand it in order to understand how to sew the parts.
Then we sew 2 smaller circles to the central large circle. Sew on from different sides.
And then we sew others on these parts. And at the end we sew the smallest circles.
The last step is to chain. We attach it to the loops of the circles. The crochet necklace is ready!
Craft - surprise "Candy Message" for March 8
When there is no desire to give a close friend a banal gift, such as others can give, your head breaks with thought and violent fantasies, but nothing wise comes to mind, you can follow simple advice... The best solution in your situation is to make a gift with your own hands! For example, you can make a "Candy Message" gift. It requires little investment and half an hour of free time.
In order to make this gift, you need to purchase a vase for sweets in the store and the sweets themselves, which, of course, should be tasty and beautiful in appearance. As a candy bowl (instead of a vase), you can use a decorative box, satin bag, small basket and more.
Also, to make a gift, you will need several short satin ribbons of any width (or thread) for winding scrolls and paper "scrolls" for wishes. As a decoration and addition, you can use chains and beads, as well as various decorative elements.
On the paper prepared for the scrolls, you need to write wishes, wrap the paper and tie it with a ribbon or thread. The number and size of the scrolls should depend on the size of the vase and the number of chocolates. The color of the ribbons should be in harmony with the color of the chocolates and the vase, or be neutral.
The candies must be placed in a candy bowl, and the scrolls with wishes should be beautifully placed between and on top of the candies. The gift is ready - stylish and fast!

Fold in half and stretch the paper widthwise along the fold line. With a short edge, glue the skirt to the neck of the bottle with tape.
We wind the long edge with thread to match the paper.
Draw a circle on the cardboard with a cap of a suitable size - this will be the base of the cap. From a jar of yogurt we make the top of the hat.
We wrap the blanks with paper, glue them.
Cut out rectangles 5 cm by 8 cm from corrugated paper, round off the upper edges with it. With your fingers, stretch the petals in width along the upper contour, a gentle wave is obtained.
We begin to wind the petals on the candies. One flower will need 5-7 petals.

DIY cards for March 8
As for the postcard, which does not require too much effort to make, it is imperative to use cardboard for its base, and the design can be done as an applique, decoupage, scrapbooking or origami. It doesn't matter in what style such a postcard will be, the main thing is that it should evoke tender feelings, be spring, bright, preferably with some flowers and contain warm words of congratulation. Usually, there are no difficulties with materials for such a gift.
A fluttering and weightless butterfly landed on a postcard designed to congratulate loved ones on a wonderful holiday - International Women's Day. This gift is quite within the power of a child to fulfill if he is already a schoolboy. Mom will be happy to receive this exquisite product, the efforts of the child will be appreciated. Since the postcard is made for congratulations on March 8, you can fantasize a little, make the central figure not quite ordinary.
Let the butterfly wings remain chic and spreading, bright and eye-catching. But let the body itself be made in the form of number 8. This is the main highlight of the proposed presentation. Not everyone dares to beat the figurine of a simple insect in this way, but the result will turn out to be truly beautiful.
To create the same bright and unusual postcard, prepare:
- dense cardboard base;
- plasticine for creating a background, drawing, lettering and additional decoration;
- a toothpick that will allow you to draw on plasticine, as well as attach small balls.
DIY greeting card modeling
Take whatever you need to work with. A big plus is the brightness of the plasticine, the brighter and more attractive in color the material itself is, the more expressive the postcard will be. The selection of plasticine shades is already half the success.
To get started, very carefully apply a juicy green plasticine to the surface of the cardboard. Try to make the layer very thin, smooth the pieces into different sides... It does not matter that the light surface of the cardboard will show through. This will create an unusual, slightly aged effect. In general, the craft will look harmonious.
Blind a thin purple sausage. It should be long enough to form the number 8. Glue the ends together to form a ring, then cross to get the part you are looking for. Make wings from bright orange plasticine. Knead the pieces of plasticine in your hands, then press down on both sides with your fingers, while simultaneously setting the appropriate carved shape for the wings.
Start assembling a beautiful insect. Of course, we only use the silhouette to decorate our wonderful postcard. Stick a figure eight in the center. Attach a pair of wings to it on both sides. Now we see a butterfly in front of us.
Roll up oblong white droplets from white plasticine. Make pairs of droplets of different sizes. These details are for decorating the wings. Stick a few on each side.
Also, glue the red balls with a toothpick along the edge of the wings. Write "Happy Holidays" above the insect. In this case, there is no need to indicate March 8, because the eight already appears on the postcard, so it is immediately clear to which holiday the craft is timed. Glue patterns in the corners to make appearance finished.
A beautiful gift doesn't have to be expensive. The main thing is to make it from pure heart and spare no imagination. Beautifully pack a present, tie a bow, now present with nice words to a loved one.
Plasticine roses greeting card
It is customary to depict flowers on postcards dedicated to International Women's Day. This is the most desired and the most beautiful gift for the fairer sex. And even if you don't know what to give, flowers will always help out, this is a win-win option.
But in this lesson, prepared by Elena Nikolaeva, it will not be about how to choose a beautiful gift, but how to make it yourself. We offer an unusual volumetric option - a postcard decorated with a bouquet of plasticine. Central buds are roses, additional branches are blue cornflowers. The card looks tender and rich at the same time.
Materials for the postcard:
- thick cardboard;
- multi-colored plasticine: red, yellow, green, blue and white;
- thin toothpick.
How to make a beautiful DIY greeting card
Before you is a canvas. It doesn't matter what color it will be. Pay more attention to its density and size. Choose a size for your craft, as well as a background color that will perfectly match the buds in the bouquet.
Fill the background completely with bright plasticine. Since it is necessary to independently apply bright plasticine in a thin layer to the surface, initially the color of the cardboard is not important.
A beautiful bouquet can be made rich, beautifully complemented with simple wildflowers, for example, cornflowers. Florists often do this. For small graceful twigs, prepare thin green threads and green leaves, small blue beads.
Glue thin green twigs with leaves under one side of the card first.
Then press each leaf down with a thin needle to make the surface more believable and textured.
Collect the small cornflowers. To do this, combine 4 blue balls together, press down with your fingertips to get petals. Insert a white ball in the center. Attach the resulting flowers to the ready-made branches.
Make 10-20 blue wildflowers. Paste in different places. On top of the white bead in the center, press down with a toothpick, also press each blue petal.
Now move on to the rose leaves. They should be much larger. Make green flat droplets. Draw veins on top with a thin tool.
Collect several combinations of thin green threads and the resulting carved drop-shaped leaves.
Glue green leaves randomly over the field branches.
For beautiful roses, prepare red plasticine. Cut small pieces from the block.
Press down and smooth each piece so that you get a flat oblong petal.
Start twisting the petals in spirals, forming beautiful red buds.
Form 3 buds. This will be enough to fill the picture.
Attach all rose heads to the bouquet. Now we have a wonderful floral arrangement.
To make the inscription "Congratulations!", Stick a pink stripe somewhere on the side. Make an engraving with the sharp tip of a toothpick.
If desired, fill in the empty space with small multi-colored plasticine balls to create a rainbow picture as a whole.
Beautiful greeting card with a bouquet of flowers from plasticine is ready.
Gifts made with your own hands for any occasion are highly appreciated and arouse interest and affection for them. Of course, you can't say for sure that any woman will be happy with some small gift that you make with your own hands. After all, many expect chic and elegant gifts from their soulmates. In such cases, a homemade gift can be presented as an addition to the main and refined one.
