How to make paper candy with your own hands

Even as a child during labor lessons

we were taught to make various crafts from paper and more. Remembering these lessons, everyone understands that no one taught us candy origami, but it’s never too late to learn how to do something. Below you will find options and patterns of candy origami that will decorate your home and give good emotions.

Option #1

I would like to start with instructions for making a surprise candy, in which you can put sweets or a small gift. This craft is quite easy to make, and you don’t need a lot of material. Prepare in advance:

A toilet paper cardboard.
Wrapping paper approximately 30 x 30 in size.
Scissors, tape, tape.

You need to put a piece of cardboard in the middle, closer to the edge, and secure it with tape.

Wrap the cardboard with wrapping paper

, and close the seam with tape.

Tie one side with a ribbon and leave the other side untied. Pour some sweets, candy bars there, or put a small gift, for example, a chocolate bunny. After this, carefully tie the other side with ribbon.

This candy is shaped like a box. Such gifts can be given to children at school for the holidays: it’s economical, and you can put together an assortment of candies yourself, taking into account the children’s tastes.

Option No. 2

This option is also easy to implement, but the result will please you. For these sweets you will need:

Corrugated paper (choose the color at your discretion, but it’s best to take several).
Scissors, silicone and regular glue, thread (to match the color of the paper), toothpicks.
Balls of the same size (1.5–2 cm).

You need to cut out a rectangle measuring 10 by 8 cm from paper. Place a ball greased with regular glue in the middle, closer to the edge. Wrap the ball in this paper.

After this, you need to take the threads and tie the edges of the paper close to the ball. If the ends are very long, you can trim them a little.

The caramel is ready. Some people also coat the edge of the toothpick with silicone glue and stick it to the caramel, but this is not necessary. These crafts can be used

as a decoration, for example, by pouring them into a candy bowl.

Option #3

This time the caramel will be made according to the scheme. Prepare colored cardboard, scissors, glue, pencil, ribbons and small candies (edible).

Stepping back from the opposite edges by about 1.5 cm, you need to cut out three diamonds. There are two edges left, on which we also cut out diamonds, but this time there are two. It looks like this.

Then you will need to fold the template along the lines drawn on it so that you get the following.

To make the caramels seem more realistic, you can stick some stickers on them or cut out some parts from the candy wrappers. You need to tie the edge of the candy with ribbon, pour the treats inside and tie the second edge.

You will get a very beautiful do-it-yourself candy wrapper or gift wrapping that is not inferior to store-bought options.

Option No. 4

For this craft you will need paper, scissors, tape, pencil, glue and a little perseverance. Transfer this diagram to paper

You need to carefully cut out the diamonds as shown in the picture above. It is best, of course, to use a stationery knife for this; with it this process will be more accurate. This blank needs to be bent along the fold line, in the end you will get something similar to a cylinder. The edges must be glued together with glue, and the ends must be tied with ribbon or thread. The product will resemble a homemade candy wrapper, which may well fit a small candy bar, since the craft is voluminous and there is room.

Option #5

Origami from paper according to the scheme. You won't need anything other than paper. So, take a square-shaped sheet and fold it as shown in Figure 1. After that, fold the paper into three more parts (Figure 2). Find the middle of this blank and then make two folds (Figure 3). Mark the future fold lines (4), you need to fold along the lines inward (5). That's all, the beautiful origami in the form of a candy is ready! If desired, you can somehow decorate or paint it.

Option #6

Cardboard.
Silk (small piece).
Braid, ribbons and sequins.

Take cardboard and divide it into 7 equal parts. Bend the cardboard along the drawn lines. You should get a hexagon; the cardboard needs to be fastened with glue or a stapler. Wrap this blank in fabric and pull it off one side. After placing the gift inside, tie the other side as well. After this, we proceed to “designing” the box. Glue braid or ribbon onto it and decorate with sequins.

Make a big candy with your own hands

It is not necessary to make candies in the shape of squares or rectangles. Just look at the folds of a candy of a different shape and transfer them to paper, only ten times larger. Just imagine how many emotions the children will have when they receive such a surprise candy as a gift. It's amazing that you can make paper candy so easily and simply. Some craftsmen manage to weave this sweet from rubber bands.

How to make surprise candy?

This candy can be used as a decoration for the New Year tree or instead of a gift for any holiday. You will need to use a sleeve as the base for the candy. A sleeve is a cardboard base in the form of a cylinder for kitchen towels, cling film or foil, and toilet paper.

IMPORTANT: It is the sleeve that is filled with various surprises and gifts (sweets, small toys, lollipops, jewelry, notes, even money).

How to do:

Prepare all the materials for work: you will need a sleeve, decorative paper, a piece of tape, streamer and the “filler” itself (i.e. a gift).
Spread a sheet of paper on your desktop
The sleeve must be filled with a surprise
To prevent your gifts from spilling out of the sleeve while working, cover the ends of the “tube” with something (for example, soft toys-keychains, handkerchiefs, gloves or mittens).
Start rolling the candy and secure the paper with tape at the end.
Tie the tails (tips) of the candy beautifully with a serpentine and fluff it up.

What to put in the New Year's basket?

You can fill a gift basket with completely different items. A New Year's composition in a basket can only serve as a background for one valuable gift, for example, jewelry, a book, a toy or a gadget.

Colored paper, an interesting decoration will be made of corrugated paper.
A simple pencil and scissors, maybe a stationery knife.

Step-by-step instruction

Take a colored sheet of A4 paper and fold it along the long side (across) 6 times.

REFERENCE. From a sheet of A4 paper you will get a candy 12.5 cm long (this does not take into account the tails), and from an A5 sheet you will get a candy measuring 9.5 cm.

Markings must be made on both sides. Then cut along its contour and unfold the workpiece.

Now you should bend the workpiece upward at both ends of the workpiece, in the narrowest place. Next, do the same in the opposite direction, but only at the widest point.

Now you need to roll the workpiece so that you get a paper candy. You can put the contents inside and tie the ponytails.

In front of you lies a beautiful and neat candy that you made with your own efforts. You can show your child the algorithm for creating such a decoration once, and then he will be able to do it on his own. In this simple way, you can make the required amount of paper candies so that there is enough to decorate the Christmas tree and for guests.

Today we are making delicious New Year's crafts that can be hung on the Christmas tree.

Gifts don't just need to be invented, made or bought. As experience and research by psychologists show, recipients experience 30% of positive emotions from interesting holiday packaging even before opening it. Wise people have long assured us that the path to the goal is more important than the goal itself.

This means that if your gifts, crafts, candies or anything else placed under the Christmas tree are packaged beautifully and originally, the effect will increase by a third. It's not hard to check. Let's make this huge candy.

You will need:

cardboard;
a piece of silk;
satin ribbon or braid;
sequins.

Work order

Draw the cardboard into equal 7 stripes and bend the cardboard along them.
Make a hexagon by securing the cardboard with a stapler or glue.
Tie it with fabric, pulling it on one side.
Place your gift inside the tube and tie the candy with ribbon on the other side.
Now you can decorate it. Glue satin ribbon or braid, attach sequins.
Place a huge candy under the Christmas tree.

You can make gift wrapping in the form of candy of a different shape. To do this, just take a regular “Bylina” or “Alyonushka” candy, unfold it and transfer all the fold lines onto a sheet of cardboard, but increasing all the dimensions by 10 times. The storage of such huge candies under the Christmas tree in itself will cause a storm of positive emotions among the children.

Useful tips

Almost all people love sweets, even if for some reason they have to give it up.

And yet an unexpected surprise in the form of sweets in a beautiful box

, which looks like one big candy, will please anyone.

Standard packaging is boring, but do-it-yourself

unique.

To create this paper candy

, you won't need much time.

Here are just a few options for making beautiful candy-shaped packaging.

Cup assembly process

The process of creating a floating mug is not at all complicated, but there are several important nuances that need to be taken into account when creating it.

The main secret in creating a flying bowl is to choose the right tea pair. The cup and saucer should not be too heavy. If you take this condition into account, it will be easier to create a flying bowl!

We construct the base of the floating cup; this is the element that connects the saucer to the cup. To do this, take a wire of the required length. It is important to note that the distance between the bowl and saucer should be approximately two cups. With these parameters, the flying cup will look most balanced.

Inside the bowl we form a loop from the wire, the diameter of which should be 2-4 cm. This will help to achieve better fixation of the wire in the cup. We twist the second end of the wire into a flat spiral in two or three turns. This way we will get a kind of stand, which we will fix in the saucer.

The tilt radius of the resulting structure should not exceed 45 degrees, otherwise the structure will be unstable!

Next we work with the resulting wire structure.

Polymorphus is the best material when making a flying cup.

Take a piece of polymorphus and immerse it in hot water for 20 seconds. During this time, the material is converted into soft plastic.

We stick the resulting plastic, like plasticine, around the base, giving it the desired shape. If the plastic hardens before you finish the job, simply dip it back into hot water. The prepared base will completely harden within 15 minutes.

If you don’t have this material on hand, you can use modeling compound. An alternative to these two materials is masking tape, which is simply wrapped around the wire base. Or you can wrap the wire with felt or other fabric, after coating it with glue.

An important aspect is to constantly try on the base on a saucer with a cup in order to spot any flaws in time!

You should pay special attention to the edge of your cup in the place where the structure will be attached!

In this place it is necessary to make a kind of step in the form of a support. This way the structure will hold much more securely.

Corrugated paper candies

This origami candy can be used to decorate gifts, cards, home or Christmas tree.

It's very easy to do.

You will need:

Corrugated paper

Decorations

1. Prepare a sheet of corrugated paper and fold it in half vertically.

2. By eye, divide the paper into 3 equal parts. Horizontally bend the 2 extreme parts towards the middle.

3. Now turn the workpiece over and create 2 folds on each side towards the center.

4. Turn the workpiece over. Fold its edges into triangles (see image).

5. Pull the ends of the candy.

6. You can decorate the paper candy with ribbons (with which you can hang it on a Christmas tree, for example) or draw various patterns with felt-tip pens.

Flying cup - creation step by step

You will be amazed at how easy it is to assemble this fantastic New Year's composition.

First you need to secure the cup in “flight”. If you use a wire, wrap it with colored cardboard/paper or fabric to, firstly, hide the wires, and secondly, increase the surface on which the elements of the composition will be glued.

We do the same thing with the fork - we increase the area on which the decorative things will be glued. The fork seems like a more convenient part, and it actually is. However, the wired structure has its advantages - the structure can be made longer (or rather, higher), and therefore more decorative.

Glue one part of the plug/wires to the saucer, the second to the cup. We fasten it firmly so that the cup, together with the element on which it rests, does not come off.

We begin to secure decorative details. Since we are making a New Year's flying cup, we first attach a pine or spruce branch. In principle, it is not necessary to glue it; you can also tie it to a fork or wire base. Fluffy needles will hide them underneath.
