How to make an original gift of sweets for men

On the eve of a holiday, everyone starts to fuss in search of souvenirs for family members, friends, colleagues. For women it's easier to choose an interesting thing. But to find something original and unusual for the boss, friend, brother, father often becomes a problem. A topical and fashionable idea is a gift from sweets. For men perform compositions in the appropriate style in the form of attributes of professional activity or objects associated with a particular person, characterizing it.

Original gifts from sweets

For holidays or just as gratitude people often give boxes with sweet contents. This is traditional, but at the same time it is already too common. If you like a non-standard approach, better buy unpacked sweets or chocolates and create a beautiful composition of them yourself or order in the firm. This is usually done by flower and souvenir shops.

So, you can make an unusual gift to a teacher from sweets. Women often make up bouquets, hearts, hats, cakes, caskets. Although on the professional holiday it is interesting to order a composition in the form of an object directly related to the field of activity that the teacher is engaged in: a writer - a book, a geographer - a globe, a teacher of work - a sewing machine. Such sweet souvenirs will look very original and exclusive.

Male Design

If you need a gift from sweets for men, it is worth choosing the appropriate idea. The object for the sweet composition is selected as follows:

• car;
• Steering wheel;
• motorcycle;
• ship;
• a train;
• a gun;
• barbell;
• weight;
• mug of beer;
• anchor;
• wheel;
• Attributes of success and income (dollar sign, euro, etc.).

Often, except for sweets, men are added to the composition of bottles with alcoholic beverages. A sweet gift can be made not only in the form of a specific object, but simply as a beautiful combination of a decorated bottle and a ladder made of chocolates or a candy "pedestal".

What will be required

If you want to make a beautiful gift from sweets in the form of an object, you will need to create a skeleton that is already pasted with sweets. When you order a gift in an appropriate company, only candies and money for work are asked from you. About the rest, you will not have to worry.

To make an unusual composition with your own hands, you need to prepare the following:

• Sweets and small chocolates.
• Elements of the frame (box, wire, cardboard, paper and glue for papier-mache technology).
• Thermo-pistol or PVA (usually this way they combine sweets with each other).
• Additional decor (satin ribbons of different colors, sparkles, as well as small ornaments in the form of stars, hearts).

The style of decorating and decorating depends on who and for what holiday you are creating a souvenir: a guy on Valentine's Day or a chef on February 23rd. Although in men's compositions, flowers, beads, cloth, feathers and so on are not usually used, sometimes, without ornaments, the gift will be too stingy. The above items can be added to the bottle or the base of the composition. The main thing is to choose "male" colors.

How to Make Your Own Hands

So, you have chosen what gift of sweets for men you will make. Regardless of whether you found a picture with a sample of the finished product or invented the object yourself, the work should be performed as follows:

1. Take a solid solid foundation larger in size than a future souvenir if it will stand on it as a "pedestal". As a blank, use thick cardboard, plastic, veneer, box. Zadekoriruyte this detail with what you have at hand: tighten with a cloth, cover with beautiful designer paper with a pattern, texture or pearlescent shine.
2. Form the frame of the composition. For a mug of beer, a cylindrical box is suitable, for a dumbbell is a ball. Anchor is easy to cut out of cardboard or plastic. For complex volumetric objects, for example, a car you can make a papier-mache frame. The finished object (a children's toy) is taken and pasted with layers of sliced small pieces of paper with the preliminary drying of the previous layer. By the way, the source should be wrapped with a film or a package to easily remove the paper shell.
3. Reinforce the frame on the base.
4. Now the most interesting is the decoration with sweets. Most often they are glued tightly to each other, so that they create a single surface or, conversely, at a distance in the form of a pattern. In the second case, the candy will go less, but then you will need to pre-decorate the frame, so that the gaps are beautiful.

That's the whole technology. Any object is executed in this way. Depending on the complexity of the composition - faster and easier or longer.

So, you saw that it is not difficult to make a gift from sweets for men. The main thing is to choose an idea, buy sweets and materials for the frame. Next it will only take time for the creative process.
