The step-by-step process of designing a bouquet
To create a harmonious composition, toys of the same size and color are selected that correctly correlate with the size of the product. Medium bouquets of toys and sweets are decorated with 2-3 large central elements, and compact ones are decorated with several small ones (toys from trinkets are perfect).
Preparing the basis for the formation of a plush composition. A figure in the form of a truncated cone is cut out of a piece of foam. The dimensions of the bases are determined based on the number of toys and the thickness of the handle. The height of the base is 7-8 cm. In a smaller base, a small depression is carefully made, which is treated with hot glue. A plastic tube is inserted into it.
We prepare plush details: each toy is carefully mounted on a wooden skewer and fixed with a glue gun. If the bouquet is intended for the child, then it is advisable to do without glue (so that later it would be easier to get the toy out of the composition). In this case, it is better to use wire. The toy at the bottom is pierced through by a piece of wire, the ends of which are connected and twisted.
In children's presentations it is quite appropriate to use a delicious decor - sweets. A skewer with a drop of glue is inserted into the base of the tail-wrapper, which is wound around the stick. For additional fixation, you can wrap this piece of candy wrapper with tape. All sweets are attached in the same way.
A great material for decorating bouquets of sweets is pieces of corrugated paper. For decoration, one long side of a rectangular leaf is slightly stretched, a small wavy edge is formed. The candy is wrapped with paper (the wavy edge is placed on top), which is fixed on the skewer with tape. For a decorative volume, the paper is slightly stretched around the candy. To get elegant candy flowers, it is better to first make a test sample.
An interesting idea for decorating sweets is wrapping them with a circle of organza. Moreover, sweets on which the fabric is fixed by a narrow ribbon tied with a bow will elegantly look.
A great idea for creating decorative elements - beads / bows on wire.A wedding bouquet of soft toys will be elegantly decorated with mother-of-pearl pearls and satin bows.
The most creative stage in creating a bouquet of soft toys is the assembly of all the elements. First, the "seated" toys. Then place the sweets evenly. The final touches in the composition will bring beads, bows, fixed in random order.
Effective packaging will help hide the foam and give the accessory a complete and luxurious look. For this, the handle and the base of the bouquet of sweets are wrapped in corrugated paper. The final stage of the decor is the design of the entire composition with a double organza / flower mesh and its fixation with a stapler. The base of the handle is tied in the form of a bow with a braid or floral ribbon.
There are many design options for plush flower arrangements. To facilitate the bride’s bouquet, artificial flowers are used instead of sweets as decorative details. If desired, you can experiment with the sizes and types of toys, adding new curly elements to the composition (in the form of cones). The step-by-step process of assembling a gift remains approximately the same.
