So there are a lot of advantages in such a gift, but there are no downsides. So let's move on to the master class on making a heart from candy, which will reveal to you all the secrets of this fairly simple process.

So, to make a heart from candies you will need: cardboard, glue, tape, newspapers, corrugated paper, polystyrene foam, cellophane foil, toothpicks, thread, scissors, candies. The candies should be in a single-color package, but if you haven’t found any, you can use colored foil to wrap them. Since we are making a heart out of candy, it is advisable to use red foil, although gold or silver is also possible. Now let's take a closer look at the manufacturing process itself.

DIY candy heart

Step one: If you have a candy box in the heart force, then that's just great, but if not, then you can make it yourself. You cut out a heart from thick, hard cardboard. You can practice drawing it in advance, and if the result does not suit you, you can print out a heart template and trace it. From softer cardboard, you need to cut out a side for the heart and glue it with tape. But this is not enough to make the structure dense, so using the papier-mâché technique you need to compact the heart by pasting it with pieces of newspaper. This will take some time, since you need to cover the box with several layers of newspaper, which must dry well.

Step two: To have something to attach candies and hedgehogs to, you need to fill the box with polystyrene foam or floral foam. The first is much cheaper, but if you are going to add fresh flowers to the sweets, then the second is still preferable so that the flowers do not wilt.

Step three: Next you need to start decorating the box. For this purpose, corrugated paper and whatever else comes to your mind will serve you. You can add some beads, ribbons and other nice little things to your decor.

Step four: The next step is to create decorative hedgehogs for decoration. They are made using toothpicks, thread and cellophane (you can use cellophane for flowers). Pieces of cellophane are tied to a toothpick using thread (it is most convenient to cut the toothpick in half and wrap the cellophane to the non-sharp side).

Step five: Now begins the most interesting stage - gluing the candies. Stick hedgehogs between the candies so that there are no empty spaces. You can also make a heart not only from sweets, but also add it to a bouquet of flowers, which will enliven the composition and give it romance.

Now you know how to make a heart out of sweets and please your loved one with an unusual gift. Everything ingenious is simple. You can also please your loved one, and let the candy-bouquet period not end!

A candy heart made with your own hands for a loved one will be a very pleasant surprise for any holiday. Its production will not take much time, and the effect after delivery will exceed all your expectations!

Before you make a heart out of candy, you need to make a heart-shaped blank from thick foam.

The simplest and most accessible option for everyone is to use the foam backing that remains at the bottom of boxes of household appliances. Having cut out a neat foam heart with a stationery knife, you can continue making a heart out of candy. Photos depicting all stages of the work process will definitely help with this!

Foam heart

First of all, the foam heart will need to be wrapped in a thin red cloth or fairly strong wrapping paper.

We glue the edges so that the wrapper does not slip on the foam. You can secure them with duct tape or safety pins. It’s even more convenient to use narrow double-sided tape.

Secure the wrapper with double-sided tape

We take the red mesh and string it onto a thin rubber band or thread, gathering it slightly.

Collecting the red grid

We attach this frill to a foam heart and secure it with double-sided tape.

In the same way we string thin white fabric or mesh.

Collecting white fabric

Using the same double-sided tape, we attach it over the red mesh so that the edge protrudes slightly.

Glue white fabric

We tie a beautiful satin ribbon on top and tie its ends into a lush bow. To prevent the tape from slipping, we also secure it with double-sided tape.

We tie the heart with a ribbon

We have just a wonderful basis for a future gift!

Gift basis

Now we collect delicious candies in the most colorful wrappers and begin to attach them to the surface of the heart. We use regular double-sided tape for this.

First, attach the candies along the edge of the heart. If the candies are small and the heart is large, then lay out the next row. If the candies are large enough, one row may be enough. The middle should remain free.

Glue candies along the edge

We cut out two miniature hearts from foam or wood and paint them red.

These valentine hearts will complement our candy composition. You can use regular cardboard valentines with good wishes and gentle declarations of love instead.

So our candy heart is ready! The master class is over!

How to make a bouquet

Materials needed to create a bouquet:

• candies;
• corrugated paper;
• corrugated cardboard;
• decorative tape;
• wrapping paper;
• scotch;
• double sided tape;
• scissors;
• PVA glue.

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.

Decorate a few more candies with 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.

Let's start assembling our composition. We place decorated candies and paper roses on the heart. We secure them with double-sided tape.

Now the original composition of sweets is ready to please your soulmate!

It is enough to spend a little time on preparation, master some techniques and make your own gift with your own hands.

Sweets are always considered a good gift

Many people believe that it is much easier to choose a ready-made gift and buy it in a store, but this is not entirely correct. It’s much more pleasant to receive a luxurious heart made of candies, knowing that strength and soul were invested in this creation. In fact, it’s very easy to do it yourself, and it doesn’t take much time for the creative process.

You can always make a gift yourself for any holiday. This will not only save money and time searching for a gift, but will also give you confidence that your efforts will definitely bear fruit.

Gift options

Candy goes well with flowers

To know for what occasions such a candy heart is suitable, the master class for creating which we will show in this article, you need to consider the possible options for such fakes.

Of course, the very first option is to present such a heart to your loved one and it is not at all necessary. It can be an ordinary day, which will certainly sparkle with new colors for the one you are going to surprise and delight.

First, decorate the base; any material is suitable for this. Tulle and organza look beautiful; they add volume to the heart. Beautiful bright satin ribbons are best suited for this option; everything is secured with glue or tape. When the heart is ready, you need to attach the candies.

It is better to use tape for fastening, but you can also use glue. The little secret is that when the whole process is completed, but you don’t like something in the overall appearance, you can always quietly correct the defects with simple decorative elements.

The base of the heart is polystyrene foam

It's not difficult to make a heart out of candy.

The execution of the heart using a base such as polystyrene foam has a very noble and dignified appearance. This heart is perfect as a gift for a special occasion. To complete this you will need a blank made of cardboard, but before cutting it out, it is worth adding the size of the side throughout the entire volume.

Therefore, first you should decide on the size of the heart itself and cut it out of polystyrene foam. Then add the width to the contour line on the cardboard, but you should also add the width of the side.

If you want to make a tall and voluminous heart, but the width of the foam is small, you can make two or even three layers. The foam is attached very well to each other, so no one will notice this little thing. But this should be taken into account when cutting and measuring cardboard.

The next step is to attach the two parts; corrugated paper is suitable for this. A side is made from cardboard, wrapped around foam, and everything is tightly covered with paper.

Often such bases are filled not only with sweets; you can also use flowers for decoration. Various decorative elements can be easily attached to the foam using skewers or toothpicks. If the heart is large, you can use large elements for decoration, the heart will look amazing.

Little tricks

A heart made of candies in the form of decorations looks beautiful on holidays such as New Year and Christmas. They can be decorated in a stylistic direction for the holiday. These can be Christmas tree decorations, spruce branches, tinsel, etc.

You can use angel figures and decorate with artificial snow. Snow can be replaced by ordinary polystyrene foam, previously ground into crumbs. For decoration, you can use elements of your own work from material or colored paper.

Such a heart can serve as a beautiful package for small gifts, which will give them originality. If the gift carries a certain message, a hint could be an element of decoration on a heart made of sweets.
