We make bouquets of kinders

Without exception, all children love surprises, funny toys and, of course, sweets. This is why they love the Kinder chocolate eggs, which combine all these childhood joys. An unusual bouquet of kinders can be a great present for any sweet tooth or collector. Such bouquets can be purchased from the masters, but it is much easier to create them with your own hands.

First, a little history. For the first time, the Kinder Surprise was released by the Italian company Ferrero in 1974. They borrowed the idea of ​​their creation from Easter eggs with surprises, which were so popular among the children of America and Europe.

Since then, the company annually offers consumers more than a hundred of all kinds of kinders. These eggs are not cheap, the reason is that all the figures for them are painted by hand. Themed collectible series are very popular: as a rule, they are based on cult cartoons. On the eve of the New Year holidays, you can find Christmas options in stores, as well as genre sweets.

Before putting together the composition, be sure to find out what toys the child is interested in, and which of the series he will be most happy with. It would seem that everything is simple further, you can go to the store and buy the entire collection issue there as a whole. However, as practice shows, there is always a risk that instead of the coveted figurine under a layer of chocolate, you will receive ordinary puzzles or simply a product of unknown purpose.

To avoid embarrassment, pay attention to the inscriptions. In series, where the text is missing on the packaging: "... and other toys", you are guaranteed not to come across an unnecessary option. However, such products are more expensive.

In all other cases, a small test can be performed. Bring the chocolate egg to your ear, shake it and listen for the sounds. If there is a solid figure inside, then the sound will be sonorous, like glass. Puzzles and similar objects take up the entire space of the kinder, so the sound will be muffled.

Try weighing a chocolate egg. Collectible figurines will be heavier than typical 30g pieces. Particularly distinguished in this regard is the Hello Kitty series - its products can reach 36 grams. However, this life hack is not always accurate, because in some episodes (for example, in "Ice Age") there are very light figures. Therefore, the method can only be used in conjunction with the rest.

Read the letter encoding. In previous years, the DF marker was the guarantor of obtaining the desired figure, and the DFB marker meant that, in addition to collectible toys, other products could be found in the series. Unfortunately, this method does not always work. Therefore, experienced collectors recommend buying chocolate eggs with PR. By purchasing a Kinder marked with the letter P, you risk getting something that your child will not like at all.

You will need wire, balloon holders, and wooden sticks to create the stem. Additionally, you need to prepare corrugated paper of different shades.

To decorate the bouquet, use a decorative sisal net, film or organza. The decorative elements are toys, beads, ribbons and shiny rhinestones. These elements are fixed with double-sided tape, hot melt glue, threads and metal wire. When choosing a mounting option, it is necessary to take into account that all bouquets of sweets will subsequently be taken apart. Therefore, the base should be the simplest - a foam or paper ball.

For the manufacture of some types of compositions, pots, vases, wicker baskets, hat boxes, paper cylinders, plastic tubes, as well as lace and ribbons can be useful. The choice of decorative items depends only on the preferences of the addressee of the unusual surprise.

Every child dreams of getting an unusual surprise on his birthday, and adults are unlikely to refuse the original bouquet. Therefore, let us dwell in more detail on master classes on the step-by-step assembly of a composition from sweet kinder surprises with our own hands. All of them are simple and straightforward, so even novice masters will cope with the work.

The easiest way is to make the chocolate composition look like an elegant bouquet of tulips. The materials for this need the simplest:

• 5-6 kinders;
• wooden sticks;
• lace;
• corrugated paper;
• glue gun;
• scissors.

• First, make blanks for future buds. This requires three types of crepe or crepe paper. One of them must be green - you will make stems and leaves from it. The shade of the rest is selected at the discretion of the master. However, it is desirable that one be lighter, and the other slightly darker.
• Paper blanks are cut into rectangles measuring 20x5 cm. The prepared strips are twisted in the center and folded in such a way that they fit into each other with their indentations. The petals are gently stretched to give the typical tulip shape.
• A chocolate egg is attached with hot glue to a long skewer and covered with petals. One egg usually takes 3-4 paper blanks - in this case, the bud looks realistic and at the same time tight. The loose ends of the leaves are wrapped with a strong thread for reliability.
• The base of the flower and the stem are wrapped with green teip tape or a strip of corrugated paper. In the second case, it must be covered with PVA glue for greater strength. Leaves are made by analogy with petals, but in this case the stripes should be elongated and thinner.

For women of any age, beautiful roses can be made on the basis of a kinder surprise.

• To do this, fold the corrugated paper in half, circle the petal pattern and cut it out with scissors - you should have a pair of petals. They need to be folded together and carefully pulled in the middle. To create one rose, you need 5-6 similar blanks measuring 20x20 cm.
• The chocolate egg is carefully covered with petals to form the appearance of a half-opened rose. The composition is fixed with threads.
• Wooden skewers will act as a stem. To do this, wrap their top with double-sided adhesive tape and fix it at the base of the bud. Leaves are cut out of a green paper strip, stretched with your fingers, wrapped with a thin green paper tape and the leaves are fixed on it.
• In a similar way, you can build roses for miniature Kinder sweets. True, their tails will have to be glued first. To make a sweet bouquet elegant and lush, you need at least 5 kinder eggs and 20-30 sweets.
• Finished flowers are collected in one large composition. Large kinders are placed in the center of the bouquet and framed with miniature live roses. When all the parts are fixed in place, the stems are secured with adhesive tape.

An original bouquet for boys and girls can be assembled from chocolate eggs and funny toys. They can be any - both plastic and soft.

For work you will need:

• 5 chocolate eggs;
• 3-4 soft toys
• 17-20 sweet lollipops.

Additionally, you need to prepare wire, ordinary cling film, transparent tape, organza, foam, crepe paper, as well as satin or silk ribbon. To work, you need a plastic tube, bows, beads and other decorative items.

• The toys are neatly wrapped with wire, at the ends it is twisted in the form of a loop.
• The chocolate egg is placed on the formed loop and secured with tape.
• The resulting structure is wrapped in a transparent film and fixed with adhesive tape.
• Small strips of 25x10 cm are cut from a piece of organza, folded in half along the shortened side and folded around the kinder. Near the base, the fabric is secured with a thread.
• If you are making a bouquet of small candies, then it is better to fold the organza square into a triangle and attach it to the wire with glue.
• A small cone is formed from the foam. A hole is formed at its top and a plastic tube is fixed in it. For greater fixation, it is better to put it on glue.
• The frame is wrapped in corrugated paper and secured with tape.
• After that, you can go directly to the assembly of the bouquet. One Kinder is placed in the center, toys and all the other eggs are placed around it - they need to be alternated with each other. You can fill the voids with dried flowers, decorative branches or organza triangles. Sweets are stuck along the perimeter of the frame. Place the rose and butterfly decor in the center. Multi-colored spirals made of wire look good - for this you need to glue the wire with multi-colored ribbons and wind it on a pencil. Then the pencil is carefully removed - the fun spiral is ready.

A bouquet of kinders and toys in a hat box looks very impressive. Such a design will not only be aesthetic, but also practical, since in addition to chocolate eggs, you can also put sweets in the box. For decoration you will need flowers, it is best to take roses, lisianthus or daisies.

It's easy to compose a composition.

• A floral sponge is dipped in a bowl of water and waited until it is saturated with moisture. As soon as it drops down, the bottom of the box is lined with a film to protect the paper from water and placed inside the piaflor.
• After that, all that remains is to stick in the skewers with kinders and stems of fresh flowers.

A gift bouquet of chocolate eggs looks very solid if you put it in a basket. It is best to take a wicker vine and decorate to your liking. To do this, you can use artificial flowers, ribbons, crepe colored paper, sisal or floral mesh.
