Currently, on the Internet, you can find a huge number of different ideas for creating interesting gifts for February 23rd. An unusual option is considered to be a candy craft made in the form of a tank. Today we will talk about how to make such a product yourself, and what is required for this.

Crafts in the form of candy tanks can be suitable for both adult men and boys. Strong cardboard is most often used as a support base. The desired shape is created from this material, fixing everything with a special tape.

Sometimes, when creating such a craft, sweets are used in packages of different colors, thus a bright and colorful product is obtained. Often, the cardboard base is decorated with colored green paper.

And also such sweet crafts for the holiday are often decorated with colored corrugated paper or cardboard, foil, fabric and other elements. Golden wire is sometimes used to decorate the muzzle.

Before you start making crafts in the form of a tank from sweets, you should immediately prepare everything you need.

• Corrugated cardboard. The material will look interesting in golden color, but you can use other colors. Often they take bases in various shades of green.
• Sweets. It is better to choose candies of different sizes and shapes in shiny, beautiful packaging. Multiple chocolate bars can also be used.
• Napkin. It is worth picking up straw material.
• Wooden skewers. Their length will depend on the overall size of the future craft.
• Glue. You can take a regular glue stick, and you also need to prepare double-sided tape.
• Decorative details. To decorate the tank, you can use, for example, ribbons, stars from shoulder straps and much more.

A gift in the form of a tank of sweets for February 23 can be made with your own hands. To do this, first carefully cut out the blank from the cardboard. In this case, the body is prepared from corrugated material, and the rest of the elements can be made from ordinary thin cardboard.

After that, you need to bend the round tower of the structure. And also bend the edges of the cardboard base of the future tank. The cannon is made from wooden skewers. To do this, prepare 6-7 pieces. They are folded together and then wrapped along their entire length with colored corrugated paper. At the end of the part, twisted paper strips are glued, while you can take paper of a different color.

All parts made of ordinary cardboard are wrapped in decorative golden corrugated cardboard. The upper part of the tower is decorated with a decorative cord. You can also use a thin, shiny wire instead.

A small hole is made in the turret of the tank to form a cannon. Later, you need to insert the gun into the made compartment and fix it with an adhesive mass.

And it will also be possible to completely glue the main part made of ordinary cardboard with green colored paper, including the gun.

Tank armor is made directly from sweets. They are attached to the base with double-sided tape. The candies are glued to the tower and to the main body of the product. In this case, it is worthwhile to first think over the decoration scheme.

At the final stage of manufacturing, you need to decorate the structure with a shiny tape. All individual parts are fastened together with an adhesive mixture. The tank has a caterpillar track, and the tracks themselves can be made from a straw napkin.

To create a running gear, on which the tracks will be directly fixed, you can take a penoplex. After that, it is pasted over with corrugated paper in dark shades. If there is no penoplex, you can use ordinary cardboard, but then you will have to take several layers at once, glued together.

You can use small chocolate coins to create wheels. Attach four to each side. At the end, the tracks and coins are glued to the main body of the structure. If there are no such sweets, you can take ordinary packaged sweets and additionally decorate them with decorative details.

A hatch made of the same chocolate coins can be attached to the top of the structure. The stars from the shoulder straps are fixed to the armor of the gift tank. If desired, the finished product can be decorated with additional decorative details.

Sometimes the base for the tracks and wheels is made from small chocolates. In addition, the interior of the structure is often filled with various sweets in beautiful packaging. They are packed in colored corrugated paper.

Such small gifts will be the best option for congratulating boys at school. For an adult man, such gifts act more as additional gifts. Such gifts for the holiday can be packed in a beautiful gift wrap along with a postcard. Sometimes the main gift for the holiday is placed inside a tank made of various sweets.
