A heart-shaped bouquet of sweets. DIY candy heart
A box of chocolates has long become a classic gift. But if we're talking about about a special recipient, sweets can be presented in more beautiful packaging.
A bouquet of heart-shaped sweets is amazingly beautiful and romantic. This will surely surprise and delight a girl on Valentine's Day. You can give a heart made of sweets to your loved one on March 8th. Or you can present a bouquet of sweets to a friend for her birthday.
It is only worth remembering that during the holidays such things should be ordered in advance. Or you can make a heart out of sweets with your own hands. In this case, the gift will turn out to be truly unique and creative.
To create a candy heart you will need:
- corrugated paper;
- cardboard;
- scotch;
- double-sided tape;
- scissors;
- wrapping paper;
- decorative tape;
- candies.
Instructions for making a candy heart
First, let's prepare the base of our candy bouquet - the heart. We will make it from cardboard. To do this, draw two hearts with a pencil. We place the first one so that one of its flat sides is positioned strictly vertically. The second heart is a mirror image of the first. In this case, make the distance between the two vertical sides of the two hearts two centimeters.We cut out the workpiece along the general outer contour. We leave the two hearts connected to each other with a jumper. We lay two folds along it.
We cover the base with red corrugated paper. From the outside we stretch the paper a little. We secure it on the inside with tape. We cut off the excess edges of the paper so that they do not create excess volume.
Now from the front side our double heart looks elegant and beautiful.
Let's prepare the filling for the bouquet. We will decorate each candy. To do this, cut the wrapping paper into squares (side 14 cm).
Fold the square of wrapping paper slightly diagonally.
Place the candy in the center of the resulting blank. We secure it with tape.
Fold the edges of the wrapping paper around the candy in the form of a “bag”. We fasten with tape. This is how you need to decorate all the other candies.
Let's roll up a few empty packets of wrapping paper. They can be used to fill the empty space between the candies in the finished bouquet.
Glue a piece of double-sided tape onto the “bag” with candy.
We attach each “bag” to the inside of the cardboard heart. Place the candies along the outer edge of one heart so that the sharp corners of the wrapping paper protrude slightly.
You can make a heart out of sweets and corrugated paper with your own hands not only for your beloved man.
A friend, mother or other person will enjoy a beautiful and delicious mini-bouquet close person. And if the heart theme is absolutely inappropriate, take another shape as a basis - an asterisk, a circle, an oval. It's easy to make a basket - just cut out the silhouette of the bottom and attach a wire or cardboard handle to the top, wrapping it with ribbon. Experiments with sizes are welcome! The main thing is to form the flowers.
Materials for a mini bouquet
If the proposed option seems too simple to you, take a look at ours. There are MKs of varying difficulty for beginners and experienced craftsmen.
To make a sweet heart, prepare:
- colored cardboard;
- decorative and regular tape;
- glue gun;
- candies;
- pink and green corrugated paper;
- scissors.
Choose the color of corrugated paper as desired. Bordeaux, wine, and purple will look beautiful. Paper can be replaced with tracing paper, organza or other soft and pliable material.
How to give a gift with a heart
Prepare beautiful candies to fill the heart. They will become the centers of the flowers. One candy for one flower. The wrapper needs to be smoothed out and the ends secured with tape so that the middle is a neat ball.
It is desirable that there are sweets spherical, then they will fit perfectly inside the cups.
Take rolls of pink and green corrugated paper. These colors are perfect for a romantic gift dedicated to Valentine's Day. Or make lilac, yellow, burgundy buds to suit your mood. It all depends on the availability of material.
Cut the pink paper into squares. Cut several strips approximately 10 cm wide. Then bend the strips several times to get the same parts.
Cut out circles from the prepared layers, taking into account the size of the candy. You can fold several squares at once, then cut out identical pieces at the same time. For one flower, use two or more circles.
Glue the two pink parts together, but apply the glue using a gun only to the central part. Next, glue the candy by also dropping it with a pistol into the center of the cup. When the sparkling center appears, you can lift each layer up and press it down so that it becomes wavy.
There is no need to show every petal in a flower; they are modeled using a fairly simple technique.
Cut out a heart from colored cardboard the right size. This is the basis of the composition. The base must be dense. If necessary, glue the colored heart onto a second cardboard base of the same size.
Decorate the edges of the heart with beautiful decorative tape or any ribbon. Lace would also work. Delicate ornamentation is welcome.
Use all the candies and pink circles to make flowers. Their quantity should be such that it is enough to fill the surface of the prepared circle. You can add details as you work.
Cut out oblong (or other shaped) leaves from green corrugated paper. First glue the leaves onto the prepared cardboard. Glue them randomly. Then stick on the parts with candies, filling the surface of the cardboard without any gaps.
Use minimal amount of glue. Try to follow the shape of the heart. Add new flowers as densely as possible.
A bright bouquet of sweets with a heart is ready. It turned out romantic and delicious!
A good addition to the main gift or a self-sufficient surprise for all occasions. Receiving one is much nicer than a banal chocolate bar.
Save this tutorial on making a heart with candies for the future if you have no one to spoil today. You will definitely need it soon. It’s also suitable for a man, but this is more complicated.

Instructions for creating a heart-shaped candy bouquet
Draw a heart on thick corrugated cardboard. Its height is 18 cm.
Cut out the heart along the outline. This will be the basis of our composition.
We cover it with corrugated paper. We use PVA for this.
While the base heart is drying, prepare the flowers. The first petal will be larger than the subsequent ones. This is a square with a side of 9.5 cm.
We round the upper corners on it using scissors.
We stretch the middle of the petal with our fingers. We put candy in it (in the stretched part). Let's wrap it around. Attach the paper to the candy wrapper using thread.
We make the next petals 2 cm thicker. We wrap the edges of each on a wooden skewer. In this way we give the petal a shape similar to its natural one.
We put the petals one by one on the bud that we made earlier. We fix the paper at the base of the flower with thread.
Use this method to create three roses. The splendor can be adjusted by the number of petals.
Let's decorate a few more candies wrapping paper. Cut out a square with a side of 12 cm. Cut a hole in the center.
We insert the tail wrapper of one candy into it. We wrap it in paper and secure everything with tape.
