Remember the fairy tale "12 months"? Such a touching story... On New Year's Eve, one wants to believe in fairy tales, and one wants to give gifts that are just as magical, unforgettable, filled with warmth and tenderness. In this master class, we offer you to make your own "12 months" - a composition with sweets, which, with its tenderness and fragility, will certainly not leave anyone indifferent.

To make such a basket, you will need materials: medium and small size sweets, corrugated paper (corrugated), hot melt adhesive, toothpicks, threads, Aspidistra Leaf ribbon, polysilk, New Year's twigs and beads, decorative ribbons to match the composition, basket, polystyrene foam, organza , basket filler.
For snowdrops, you need to choose small rounded sweets. It is desirable that the wrapper matches the general color direction of the composition (that is, it is better to choose a green, white, silvery wrapper). Chocolate-covered hazelnuts or almonds are ideal for this. Candies must be attached with hot glue to toothpicks by one of the tails. The free tail must be attached to the candy with tape. (Photo 1)

From each rectangle we get 1 petal. To do this, we twist the paper in the middle by 180 degrees, then bend it along the torsion line, laying the halves on top of each other. In the upper part, slightly squeeze the paper outward, giving the petals a convex shape. (Photo 3.4)

We fasten petals of 3 pieces with the help of threads around the base of the candy on a toothpick. (Photo 5)

Then we tape the flower stem and receptacle with a strip of green corrugation, fix the free end of the paper on the stem with hot glue or adhesive tape. Snowdrops are ready. For a medium sized basket, you will need about 11 of these flowers. (Photo 6)

Now we proceed to the manufacture of other elements that make up the composition. We attach pine or spruce decorative twigs to toothpicks in the same way as sweets. (Photo 7)

From a ribbon imitating an aspidistra leaf, cut out thin strips in the form of leaflets. We also attach these leaves with adhesive tape to toothpicks. (Photo 8)

For additional decoration and filling the composition between the snowdrops, we will use larger round or bell-shaped sweets, fixed on skewers. To give them a more decorative look, we wrap each candy with a shiny film (polysilk), we tape the legs with corrugation. (Photo 9)

To fill in empty spaces, make "pounds" from organza squares glued to wooden skewers in the center. (Photo 10)

After preparing all the components of the composition, it's time to deal with the basket itself. Inside the braid we put a piece of foam plastic or a floristic oasis of a suitable size. It is needed to fasten all the elements inside the basket. To prevent the foam from showing through the side holes, wrap it with matching organza. (Photo 11)

We close the foam plastic from above with any filler (paper, sisal fibers). (Photo 12)

We begin the assembly of the composition by distributing the fungi over the surface of the basket, fixing them in the foam. (Photo 13)

At the end of the work, we decorate the handle of the basket. To do this, we wrap the handle with decorative tape along the entire length, so that the turns of the tape are located freely, forming a spiral. We fix the ends of the tape with a small drop of hot glue. Next, at an equal distance from each other, glue silver beads on the surface of the handle. (Photo 15)

For greater effect, we additionally decorate the places where the handles are attached to the basket with New Year's accessories in the form of silver twigs and ribbon bows to match the overall color scheme of the composition. (Photo 16)

Gift Ideas for the New Year

Homemade sweet basket.

A beautiful basket for the New Year can please everyone. And if the recipient finds out that it was created by his own hands, then this will only please him. With our description, you will make this basket very quickly.

With the help of a clerical knife, we cut out a blank that looks like a cake from the foam.

Next - the base should be pasted over with beautiful corrugated paper or elegant fabric. Satin or wrapping floral material is very, very good. From a material of a different color, we cut out the letters for the inscription Happy New Year, and distribute them across the entire width on the frame.

Now, with an awl or a thick needle, we make holes in the foam plastic and stick spruce branches in there, the more the better.

Then we take the wire and wrap it with a colored ribbon of different shades, you can bend the wire figuratively. It remains to stick the wire into the foam base and put sweets on it. The rest of the chocolates and sweets can simply be glued from below.

We still have spruce branches left undecorated. You can dress them up with cones, bows, balls. And we make a handle to the basket, for this we again wrap the wire with a beautiful cloth and stick it into the foam.

Homemade delicious bouquet.

Here we talk about how to make flowers from candies for the New Year. Everyone will be happy to receive such a present. To begin with, we need a rectangle cut out of cardboard, which we turn into a circle. Then we cut out a round part with the diameter of the previous part from the cardboard more densely. Now you need to put the ring on a denser base and connect everything with pieces of paper.

We glue our box with elegant paper, put cotton wool or a white padding polyester on the bottom.

We put cones and sweets there, which are already prepared and wrapped in gilded paper, or in a translucent fabric, in general, beautifully packaged. If there is a place left, then fill it with New Year's toys or surprises. In conclusion, you can stick synthetic spruce / pine branches.

Homemade sweet Christmas trees.

Bouquets of sweets for the New Year 2018 look great. Moreover, such a gift will not only please the soul. Turns out it's edible. With such a bouquet, you can decorate the New Year's table itself! For the base you will need a volumetric circle and a foam tube. We glue both parts with a green cloth and then stick the tube into the bottom, make sure that the structure is stable.

We make holes in the foam tube and stick spruce / pine branches into them. It should be a tree. Now we decorate it with light sweets and sweets, chocolates, toys and paper or fabric bows.

Wrap the candies in green paper to create buds. Fasten three petals around each of them with threads. Wrap skewers and toothpicks in paper.

Cut out leaves from green paper, glue them to the stems. Attach additional decorations to flowers or stick them on skewers like candy. Sprinkle with glitter if desired. Large candies can be added to small candies. Wrap them in foil. It will look unusual and spectacular.

New Year fruit bouquets

You can add other fruits to your tangerine bouquet at your discretion. Also, tangerines will look interesting in combination with spruce branches. You can make a bouquet from other components as well. For example, from dried fruits, herbs and vegetables.

A bouquet of fir branches will turn out not only incredibly beautiful, but also fragrant. It will create a festive atmosphere in any home and will certainly please your loved ones. To make a spruce bouquet in a basket you will need:

• flowers (a bouquet of natural flowers will look beautiful: from chrysanthemums, from roses, from artificial flowers, as well as from dried flowers);

Cut the sponge into the shape of a basket, place it on the bottom and fix it well with tape. Spread the flowers evenly over the sponge. Insert a candle into the center of the bouquet of spruce and flowers. Attach the cone and apple elements to the skewers using a heat gun. Fix them in the sponge between or around the flowers. The composition is almost ready. Now it needs to be lightly covered with artificial snow. A cute basket will be a great decoration for the New Year's table.

Other elements made from natural materials can also be used as decor for a bouquet. Foamiran items will look very nice. This material can decorate the basket itself.

Wreaths made of spruce and other trees are also popular. They can be decorated with cinnamon sticks, dried citruses, Christmas decorations, sequins, beads, ribbons and more. Such a wreath will look great on the doors of your nest, and will also be a great gift for family and friends, for men and women, a teacher and a colleague.

One of the main Christmas attributes in European countries are compositions of pine or spruce branches. Sometimes people use them instead of a Christmas tree. Such crafts will look great on a festive table, on a dresser, bedside table and shelf. You can place a branch in the center of the composition. Additional elements will be cones, flowers, ribbons and decorative twigs.

New Year's corrugated paper bouquet

Flowers, fruits and sweets can be replaced with flowers and corrugated paper elements. Such a gift will certainly be appreciated. After all, it is made with your own hands, the soul is invested in it, and it is presented from a pure heart. In a bouquet of paper snowdrops, for example, you can not use sweets.

	As a result of our efforts, you will get a great watch!
	We download on the Internet or draw a clock dial in watercolor or gouache. You can take a napkin with a dial and make decoupage on cardboard, or take any New Year's proportional postcard or picture and write the numbers yourself with black gouache. We cut out the dial - we need two pictures: one with numbers, the other is just New Year's for the back of the clock.
	We apply the dial to the foam plastic 5 cm thick and circle it. We cut out the contour with a convenient knife, we clean the sidewalls with it.
	We glue the dial and the wrong side on the cardboard for greater strength.
	Cut off a strip of corrugated paper 4-6 cm wider than the side. In the center of the strip, apply a little hot glue. It should not be applied to the foam, as there is a great chance to burn it. Immediately glue the sidewall.
	We make cuts on corrugated paper and glue it completely to the plane of the future clock. Now we start gluing candies to the sidewall. This can be done with double sided tape.
	Candies are good to decorate and additionally thereby secure a beautiful satin flight. We fix the tip of the tape with hot glue or a piece of tape.
	On the top of the clock we attach two large sweets in the manner of an alarm clock. From below we glue two flat large sweets, which will serve as stable legs.
	We finish the work by gluing the arrows.

Watch hands are made from ribbons, cardboard, stickers, oracal, beads, braid.

Any decorative elements are attached to the clock after complete assembly. In order for the watch to be stable, you should not unnecessarily decorate it with heavy objects.

	We wrap the candy several times and fix the edges with glue. We will tie the organza with a ribbon immediately under the candy, wrapping the leg of the toothpick.

	We cut off a triangular small piece from the circle (we will twist the bag) and make a slot slightly smaller than the diameter of the tube. We make small cuts around the slot, as in the photo. We bend the edges of the cardboard circle.
	We put a cardboard bowl on the tube and fix it with hot glue.
	We glue the polystyrene with hot glue on a piece of organza folded several times. Cover the edges with fabric.
