Often an invitation to a loved one's birthday, anniversary or other celebration causes mixed feelings. On the one hand, this is sincere joy, and on the other hand, bewilderment and anxiety about choosing the right original gift.

Even a well-known person can be difficult to please, and the point here is not the predilections of the hero of the occasion, but the fact that no one is immune from cases when the birthday boy receives several identical gifts.

And although the choice in stores today is colossal, the only way to be guaranteed original is with a hand-made gift. This is an opportunity to show one's own skill and taste of the donor, and even following today's fashion.

Master class number 1. Bouquet of toys

Handmade has recently become extremely popular, and more and more people are mastering needlework techniques, especially since it is not so difficult.

Necessary materials and tools for creating a bouquet

• Small soft toys of one size
• Floral foam for the base of the bouquet
• Colored corrugated paper
• A piece of plastic tube or stick for a pen
• Ribbon or ribbon matching style and color
• Decorative elements to decorate the bouquet
• Dome shaped candies
• Bouquet fabric
• Adhesive floral tape
• Wire for floristry
• hot glue gun
• stapler and scissors
• wire cutters

It is better to start with simple crafts, so for the first bouquet, you can, as in this example, take five toys of the same type, chocolates and catchy beads on a wire or thin sticks.

• If a gift is being prepared for a family with small children, it is important to provide for the possibility of quickly dismantling the entire structure so that sweets and toys can be used for their intended purpose.
• To make the bouquet look most harmonious and stylish, it is better to choose toys or other objects of the same type and size for it. At the same time, a bouquet of toys of the same tone looks attractive. If a large toy is used in the center of the composition, then smaller elements should serve as its border.
• All elements of the bouquet should be attached extremely securely, and there should be no voids between the toys. To close them, use small decorative beads or sweets, decorated with decorative corrugated paper or gathered ribbon.

How to make a bouquet of toys

Work begins with the preparation of the basis of the bouquet. To do this, a cone of the appropriate shape and size is cut out of the existing foam. The narrow part of the workpiece is truncated so that it is convenient to glue the handle to it. To make the mount as strong as possible, it is reasonable to provide a recess for a tube or a wooden handle. The recess is treated with hot-melt adhesive, and then the handle is pressed into it in such a way that the segment remaining outside is comfortable for the palm of your hand.

Now it's time to move on to toys. The wire is cut into 30-centimeter segments, which are folded in half and, having placed a toy in the middle, wrap it with wire and twist the latter behind the bear or bunny. In some cases, when the shape does not allow wrapping, it is easier to pierce the toy through and through. The free ends of the wire are connected and tightly wrapped with teip tape. The result is a semblance of a flower, instead of a cup, which has a soft toy.

This method of fastening allows you to disassemble the bouquet without compromising the quality of its elements. If the gift is intended for an adult, then the toys can simply be glued onto plastic tubes or wooden skewers of a suitable size.

From sweets, you also need to make decorative flowers. To do this, corrugated paper is cut into squares with a side of 18 - 20 cm. Sweets are placed in the center with a sharp tip to the paper, the free edges are collected and wrapped, pulling tightly. With the second piece of paper, the candy is wrapped in the other direction and also wrapped. A bundle of two sheets is fixed with a thin tape, and then a wire is attached to the bud blank with glue and teip tape. Adhesive tape will also help hide the junction, turning the design into an elegant stem with a blooming flower. By pulling the free edges of corrugated paper, petals are formed. The flower is ready, it remains to make a few more similar decorative elements.

You can also make interesting bouquet details from wire and beads. Pieces of wire 20 or 30 cm long are folded in half, after which large beads of a suitable color are strung. When they are in the center of the wire, the free ends are twisted and decorated with teip tape.

It's time to assemble the prepared elements into a single whole. First, the largest parts are attached to the foam base. In this case, they are toys. So that the fastening is reliable, and the wire does not jump out of the foam at the most inopportune moment, it is better to pre-lubricate it with glue. After the toys comes the turn of candy flowers, and then the gaps are closed with beads on wire legs. Existing voids can be masked with help. Pre-worn on the elements of a bouquet of skirts from a collected ribbon, organza or decorative paper.

When the bouquet is assembled, it's time to make a proper package for it. The foam base is decorated with corrugated paper. It is better to fix it with hot glue or with a stapler. On top of the paper, the bouquet is decorated with organza or decorative mesh. These materials are also fixed so that the design hides the internal structure of the gift, and is itself quite spectacular.

The finished bouquet is tied up with a wide ribbon or braid that matches the style. Such a gift will be desired by both a woman and children. It will bring sincere joy and will surely be the only one of its kind.

Master class number 2. Bouquet of shells

When bouquets of toys have already been mastered, you can experiment with other unusual items that have nothing to do with flowers and floristry. This time, you can take shells and other souvenirs for a bouquet, often brought from a vacation spent at sea.

Bouquet materials

• Shells and dried starfish;
• Thin paper-wrapped wire;
• Hot glue gun;
• A piece of burlap or canvas;
• Paper twine or twine.

The larger and heavier the shells, the thicker the wire should be. In this case, the stems will adequately withstand the weight of the elements, and the whole bouquet will be strong and hold its shape in any position.

According to the number of "flowers" from shells, segments are prepared from paper-wrapped wire. Shells and starfish are firmly attached to one end of the wire stem using a glue gun. At the same time, the glue is carefully applied to the back side of the element in order to hide the gluing place as much as possible.

To make the design strong enough, the flowers are given about half an hour until the glue dries.

Now the stems can be gathered together by wrapping the bouquet with a piece of cloth and tying it with a twine chosen in advance.

Master class number 3. Bouquet of pom-poms

A spectacular bouquet can also be made from items that are more related to clothes than flowers. You will need multi-colored fluffy pompoms for such a handmade gift.

Materials and tools

• green felt;
• Ribbons and braid;
• Spray paint white;
• Multi-colored yarn;
• Smooth segments of branches;
• Scissors;
• Hot glue gun.

DIY pom-poms

Making pompoms for a bouquet is not difficult at all. The thread is tightly wound around three fingers of the palm folded together. Having made from 50 to 70 turns, the thread is fixed, while pulling the resulting skein. To do this, the thread is cut, leaving a free tip about 20 cm long. It is passed between the middle and index fingers, wrapped around the prepared skein. It is better to repeat this procedure several times so that the pompom does not crumble in the event of one broken thread. When the free tip is securely fastened and the middle is tightly tightened, the skein is removed from the fingers. As a result, he became like a woolen butterfly or a bow; scissors will help turn it into a pompom. The thread loops are cut, carefully trimming the threads. The pompom can be fluffed up and straightened again.

On the eve of the holidays, the question always arises: “What to give and where to get it?”. However, the donor does not always have the opportunity to buy the gift option he likes. In this case, making the right thing with your own hands will help. Fashion trend - a bouquet of toys. To make it yourself, you need to prepare everything you need in advance and read the step-by-step instructions.

How to make a bouquet of toys with your own hands

Creating a bouquet of toys is a very exciting, but not always easy task. Someone collects such gifts in 5 minutes, while someone may need several hours. But usually preparation takes most of the time: selection of materials, drawing up a sketch, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to draw up a bouquet not 10 minutes before the gift is presented, but a little earlier.

I made my first bouquets of toys for several days. The whole day was spent sketching the bouquet and compiling a list of the necessary materials. Another day I spent buying all these items. And only on the third day I composed the composition itself. Now I can create a bouquet from improvised means, and it takes no more than half an hour to assemble all the elements.

Materials that will be required when creating a bouquet

There are no strict rules for what you need to make a bouquet. You can use almost any materials at hand, including your creative abilities. Most often, the following items are required to create a bouquet:

• toys (soft, plastic, knitted, etc.) of any size (often no higher than 15 cm) and in any color;
• basis for a bouquet (polystyrene, cardboard, paper cone or very dense fabric; you can buy a special basis in a flower shop);
• the future leg of the bouquet (a piece of PVC tube, a cardboard sleeve, a magazine rolled into a roll, etc.) of the desired length (10–15 cm);
• means for fastening elements (glue gun, safety pins, floral wire, wooden skewers, etc.);
• base drapery material (corrugated paper, organza, mesh or tulle, any bright fabric, floral film, etc.);
• decoration items (feathers, ribbons, sisal, rattan balls, small boxes, bows, etc.);
• small accessories (rhinestones, sequins, half beads, etc.) - if desired;
• tools: screwdriver, pencil, stationery knife, ruler, etc.

A bouquet of toys is not necessarily a composition with toys only (you can include anything you like in such a bouquet)

Step by step instructions for beginners

Here is a scheme for compiling a simple bouquet of toys:

1. Foundation preparation. If you have not found a suitable foam cone, you can cut it yourself. The flat side of the cone should be up to 25 cm in diameter. You can also make a cone out of cardboard.
2. Attach the handle to the base. If the handle is made of a cardboard tube, then one of its sides can be cut with scissors and glued to the base with glue (“Moment”, thermal gun, etc.). PVC tube handles can be immediately glued to the narrow side of the cone.

   

   A convenient form of the base can be given with a clerical knife, they can also make a shallow (2–3 cm) hole into which you need to insert a pen)

3. Wrap the cone with corrugated paper or fabric for decoration. The first layer of wrapping can be draped over the wide base of the cone so that the foam is not visible. The remaining layers (2 or 3) can wrap the entire workpiece, including the leg. The edges of paper or fabric can be trimmed with curly scissors.

   

   The top layer of wrapping material can be tucked in or left outside (the more top layers, the more voluminous the bouquet will be)

4. Prepare toys. The most convenient way is to string the bottom of the toy on a piece of copper wire (about 20 cm), and then bend it so that 2 parallel ends of the wire stick out of the toy. They need to be inserted into the foam. Can be fixed with glue. It is also convenient to use skewers - they can be glued immediately to the bottom of the toy, and then stuck into the foam.

   

   The fastest way to attach a stick to a toy is to use balloon holders.

5. Add decorative elements to the composition. First, fill in the voids next to the toys (candies in corrugated paper, rattan balls, artificial flowers, bows, etc.). Lastly, add rhinestones, half beads and other decorative trifles.

   

   To fill the voids between the toys, you can use everything that is attached to the boxes / toothpicks (corrugated paper flowers, satin ribbon bows, toppers, jewelry, etc.)

6. Tie the handle with a satin ribbon or bow. The bouquet is ready.

   

   The handle of the bouquet must be tied up last, since after tying it will be inconvenient to make changes without wrinkling the entire composition

Video: "How to make a bouquet of soft toys?"

You will need

• - polystyrene or cardboard;
• - plastic tube or glossy paper;
• - wrapping;
• - corrugated paper;
• - mesh for wrapping flowers;
• - Stuffed Toys;
• - tape for the pen;
• - glue;
• - thread and needle;
• - small decorations (bows, flowers, beads).

Instruction

First you need to make the basis for the bouquet. It will support the entire structure and will not let it fall apart. For the base is best or cardboard. But it is worth noting that cardboard is taken only when the bouquet is light. Cut out the base in the shape of a circle.

For the bouquet you will need a pen. It can be made from a piece of plastic tube or from glossy paper rolled into a tube. You can also make a handle from foam cut into the shape of a tube. Wrap the handle with tape to make it look aesthetically pleasing.

To connect the base and the handle, you need to make a hole. It is done at the base in the center with a diameter equal to the diameter of the handle. You can fasten the structure with glue. Look at where the handle connects to the base and coat this place with glue.

Now we need to make a skirt that will hold our toys in a bouquet. For this, either wrapping paper for flowers or corrugated paper is used. The tone of the skirt can be made both in a similar color with toys, and in contrast. We fasten it with glue to the base.

We begin the design of the bouquet itself. To make the design seem complete, place a mesh in it to decorate the bouquets. It is best to make the mesh slightly compressed and become embossed.

Now we start gluing the toys. For adults, you can fasten them with a glue gun. But the kids will want to pull out toys. In this case, they can be swept to the net, skirt and to each other.
