- wooden skewers;
- colored wrapping paper or cellophane.

First, you need to secure each nut on a separate skewer so that it looks like a flower on a stem. To do this, they make a hole in the base of the nut with the tip of the scissors and, having slightly greased it with glue, insert the skewer inside.
Then these flowers are folded around a cotton boll. For secure fixation, every 3 skewers must be wrapped with tape. After the completion of this work, the basis of the bouquet can be considered complete.

Dried fruits on a platter
There is another interesting option for a sweet gift, which involves the presence of beautiful dishes.

In order to be interesting to imagine such a thing, it can be filled with exotic dried fruits. At the same time, sweets are laid out with beautiful patterns and compositions.

Another option is a flower arrangement. To form it, different dried fruits are placed in a circle from the edges of the dish, forming rings. As the diameter narrows towards the center of the lobule, it is necessary to put a little more on the edge to create a voluminous flower. In the very middle of such a pattern, you can place several bright details.
This calculation is not new, but it looks interesting, especially when using a large number of types of sweets. Whichever gift option is chosen, the sweet present will not only be tasty, but also useful.
