Bouquets made from different types of sweets are an excellent option for creating original gift compositions. Chupa Chups is perfect for this. Using a round candy in a bright candy wrapper on a stick with additional decorative elements will allow you to make original bouquets, gift baskets, small or large-scale compositions.

The round candy on a stick was invented in 1958 by a Catalan resident, Enrico Bernat. Watching how the child gets his hands dirty in sticky candy, and hearing his mother scolding about this, he decided to make sweets that would no longer cause trouble for either the kids or their parents.

The first sweets he released were kept on special metal forks, a little later they were changed to wooden sticks, and then to plastic tubes.

In 1961, Salvador Dali created the logo for this sweet. He came up with the label in the form of a yellow 8-petal chamomile. This sketch was simply sketched by him on the newspaper.The surrealist himself suggested placing a bright red inscription at the top of the candy, and not on the side, so that the inscription could be read without distortion.

Appearing for the first time, Chupa-Chups lollipops became incredibly popular, and they remain so to this day. By the way, in 1995, sweets were even in space, and the employees of the Mir station wanted to eat them in outer space.

50 years after the appearance of these sweets, the company decided to release the lollipop "Mega", the weight of which was 725 grams, which exceeds the weight of a standard candy 60 times.

The advantage of the Catalan lollipop is that it has a stick, making it easy to use for sweet design. When creating a congratulatory bouquet, you will not need toothpicks or skewers, which are usually taken when using other candies.

The composition of bright candies will be an excellent option for any occasion. Such a sweet bouquet is also suitable for the holiday of lovers. On Valentine's Day, a sweet darling can be given such an unusual, but very creative and very practical surprise.

A sweet surprise can be given to a boy, he will also be happy with such a gift and will truly appreciate it. Given the activity of children and the fact that they do not like to hold small objects in their hands for a long time, it is preferable to give the boy a bouquet of lollipops placed in a pot, box or vase. Such a present will not only be a surprise for the little birthday boy, but can also become a decoration of the children's room in the future.

To create a composition for a boy, you need very few ingredients.

• Chupa Chups. The amount of sweet lollipops should be chosen depending on the type of construction, its size. For a medium-sized composition, it is enough to take from 2 to 4 dozen candies.
• A piece (about one meter) of paper in blue ink.
• Decorative packing tape of the same shade.
• Styrofoam ball, about 12 cm in diameter.
• Flower pot (plastic), cardboard glass or vase, suitable in diameter to the foam base.
• Satin tape (blue) or a piece of self-adhesive foil.
• Scissors.

It is not necessary to use blue paper, but given that the surprise is intended for a boy, this shade can be called the most appropriate. But for girls it is better to choose shades in pink or lilac tones.

The work on creating a bouquet begins with the creation of blanks for candy wrappers, which will later be used for decorating candies. To do this, cut into squares with sides of 10 cm from paper.The number of such blanks should correspond to the number of candies used.

Next, you need to fold the squares, defining the center of the workpiece, and cut a hole here. Then you need to insert a lollipop stick into this hole, connect the corners on different sides, and wrap the candy. Then the workpiece should be fixed with a decorative tape and tied in a bow.

After completing the work on creating flowers, you should start decorating the gift. For this you need:

• take a styrofoam ball and place it in a pot, glass or vase with a smaller diameter;

• decorate with candy flowers, exposing them so that they are as close as possible to each other.

It remains to decorate the pot, if desired, pasting it with foil, satin ribbons of the appropriate shade.

If you wish, you can use a variety of decorative elements, decorating a bouquet of chupa-chups. For these purposes, ordinary paper muffins are perfect.

To create such a bouquet, you should prepare:

• lollipops;
• paper muffin cups of different colors;
• a few bamboo skewers;
• decorative wrapping paper;
• satin ribbons;
• scissors.

It is worth noting that cupcake molds are ideal for this kind of decoration. Corrugated molds will give the petals a natural look. Bamboo skewers are used to create the stems.

To make a flower blank, you need to fold the cake pan several times.

Next, you should round the resulting segment, giving it the shape of a petal.

When opening the blank, you will get a beautiful flower, in the middle of which you should insert a lollipop, having previously made a hole in the center of the bud.

The resulting flower should be given the required shape. To do this, the workpiece is slightly squeezed at the base, and the petals are tousled. So that the petals do not move, they are fixed with tape.

It is necessary to make a sufficient number of blanks, then collect the flowers in a bouquet, making a voluminous hat.

It is advisable to wrap the stems of the buds with a strip of thin corrugated paper, moving diagonally, fix with glue.

Wooden stems-skewers are wrapped with decorative fabric or wrapping paper.

It is not at all necessary to make a bouquet from lollipops. These legendary lollipops will make a wonderful topiary. Such a decorative tree with a ball-shaped crown will successfully decorate a nursery, a classroom at a school or even a director's office in a kindergarten or school.

To create a topiary, a foam ball is used, into which flowers are inserted over its entire surface. The trunk for the tree is made of wire, a regular branch or a foil sleeve. A stick decorated with ribbons is inserted into a ball and placed in a pot. Considering the weight of the upper part, it is advisable to pour stones into the pot, or fill it with plaster. It remains to hide the gaps using sisal, corrugated paper, fabric or other materials, add decorative elements, and admire the work done.

To create a congratulatory bouquet, it is not necessary to use only chupa chups. The composition will be complemented by the use of various elements. Thanks to them, you can make a simple, but at the same time very original and beautiful gift.

When using kinders, it should be borne in mind that this sweetness does not have a leg, so you should additionally make it yourself. A wooden stick or a piece of wire is suitable for this. Attach a sweet egg to the leg using cling film.

It is advisable to collect multicomponent arrangements in large decorative boxes or baskets. Using corrugated paper to create flowers will allow you to create buds of a wide variety of shapes and configurations. For a large composition, more voluminous flowers in the form of peonies or large roses are more suitable. Even taking out the sweetness from them, such flowers will remain in their original, realistic form.

Additional elements are also used when creating larger-scale compositions. If you need to make a large bouquet, consisting of 100 elements or more, you should think in advance how to make it correctly so that it looks original and solemn.

You do not need to wrap all the candies, leaving a few pieces without decor. And flowers without a sweet filling will also look good. To revive the bouquet and make it more realistic will allow the use of live or artificial green twigs, rowan bunches, spruce cones. Sisal, various ribbons, burlap, soft toys, and various decor are also used for decoration.
