Simple tulip from Raffaello
A bouquet of tulips is a traditional gift for March 8th. However, their beauty quickly fades. To avoid disappointment, try making these elegant flowers from delicious candies.
To work you will need:
- candies;
- corrugated paper;
- floral wire;
- scissors;
- double sided tape;
- threads;
- tape.
Bend the end of the wire into a loop so as not to accidentally damage the candy.
Wrap it with tape and attach the candy.
Cut the paper into strips approximately 3 cm wide.
Cut each strip into 3 parts. Cut a thinner hole in the middle of each strip; this will make the petals more realistic.
Twist the strip in the middle. And then fold it in half, stretching it a little in the middle. Make 2 more petals this way.
Wrap the finished petals around the candy, placing them on top of each other. Secure them with thread and trim the ends. Wrap the base of the bud with tape for a more secure fixation.
For leaves you will need 2 rectangles 10*3cm. Cut out leaves of the desired shape from them; you can use a cardboard template.
Start wrapping the wire with tape.
Attach the leaves opposite each other and secure them with tape.
It turns out to be a beautiful tulip.
Using the same principle, make the remaining flowers in the quantity you need.
Sweet tulips can be collected into an elegant bouquet and decorated with ribbons, paper, bows - the perfect sweet gift is ready.

Just recently I became interested in seeing bouquets of candies at the Crafts Fair. I decided to study in more detail the most common candy bouquets with flowers - tulips. The works are simply magnificent, there are many compositions, packaging methods, but the descriptions for them... most of them are not at all bright and do not match the bouquet.<<>>
I immediately disagree with those who claim that no one reads descriptions, and they are not needed! This is not true at all, because when selling your candy bouquets via the Internet, you simply have to establish contact with the buyer without physically contacting him in any way! Not only does a person learn more from the description about the bouquet, the intricacies and details of the work, packaging and composition, but in this way he also evaluates the craftswoman!
Having examined several wonderful works and descriptions of bouquets with names such as “Snowdrop – 2” or description: “The bouquet contains 17 “Autumn Waltz” or “Golden Domes” candies. Diameter 20-23 cm, height 25-30 cm.” – I just wanted to go to another page and see what else was there...
There are rules by which descriptions for creative works are drawn up:
1. The description of the bouquet should contain answers to questions that may arise. Imagine what parameters a person might ask you about a bouquet over the phone? For example, here: - the materials used, - weight and dimensions, - an exact description of the color in the bouquet (it may be distorted in the photo), - of course, the sweets and even their taste, - how the bouquet is held in the hand. The description gives the necessary information about the bouquet. The more interesting the description, the better it is remembered! When people want to find your bouquet in a search, a good description will work in your favor.
2. The description should emphasize that it belongs to some event, making a certain hint about this holiday. The most hackneyed phrases are not always the most appropriate. Don't forget that you are a master sorceress of magical bouquets. All your works are unique, so try to make the description of the bouquet unique! Are you yet tired of such words written under every second work: “will be a wonderful gift”, “will create a holiday atmosphere”, “a bouquet of sweets is a wonderful gift...”, etc. It is better to use other forms or methods in describing your candy bouquet, for example: a) Make up a story, make some kind of hint or even joke! Give some humorous or serious romantic instructions on how to present a candy bouquet.
b) Come up with a touching, heartfelt story that connects you with your bouquet. You can insert some memories from childhood or talk about your first date, that there were exactly the same flowers and the same color. Let the person reading your text experience these emotions with you!
Be an artist in your description, paint vivid pictures, use metaphors and epithets. And, in the end, just a detailed description of your bouquet, packaging, etc. much better than hackneyed, banal phrases. It all depends on your imagination.
3. The description should contain answers to doubts and objections . Think carefully about what you asked or doubted when buying a bouquet online? It seems to me that for our sweet bouquets the following questions and objections should be taken into account in the description: – is the original packaging of the coffees broken or intact? – Will it be possible to eat sweets without violating the integrity and composition of the bouquet? – Will my child get poisoned if he eats candy from the bouquet? – How will the bouquet be packed for transportation? – What candies are used in the bouquet? Try to answer such typical objections that may well arise when choosing a bouquet. Speaking about the strength of the bouquet, that all the candies are glued with a glue gun, do not forget to mention that the candy itself does not come into contact with the glue, otherwise you may be misunderstood.
4. The bouquet should create a festive atmosphere in the present tense . You can always come up with and describe a bouquet for a specific occasion, using the attributes of a particular holiday so that a person understands the purpose of this masterpiece. Make your description in the present or past tense, do not use impositions, using verbs in the future tense (will, will, will please), here is an example of a correct reference to time: “Imagine the joy of your loved one when you give him such an unusual gift as a sweet bouquet from candies! All the guests were delighted with your original idea of giving the birthday boy sweet roses in a bouquet of sweets.” Let the person feel like the owner of your masterpiece.
5. At the end of the text there should be a call to action . Usually the description ends with some incomprehensible phrase, or some words like: “the color scheme can be changed at the request of the customer.” I would advise giving the person specific instructions on what to do to receive your bouquet. It actually works well if you just write instructions at the end of the description on what and where to click and pay to receive your order!
6. Write about limitation and exclusivity . Never forget that your work is not Chinese consumer goods or factory stamping! Talk about your uniqueness, but within limits. Then the person will not hesitate for a long time, wondering whether to buy your work or not, but will try to order your bouquet in time. Indicate in the description: - the bouquet is only in a single copy, there will be no repetitions, - I make such bouquets for the New Year, I repeat only a year later, hurry to order, before December 31st. https://rozamimoza2.ru/kak-pravilno-sostavit-opisanie-k-buketu-iz-konfet/
Technology for decorating candy bouquets
A candy composition is an exclusive gift that consists of sweets and flowers. Anyone can implement this business idea, but it is ideal for creative individuals who know how to come up with something new and beautiful. At the start, it is recommended to take training courses and attend master classes that will help you learn all the secrets of technology.
Like any other type of activity, decorating candy bouquets needs advertising. It is also great for business development to create your own website on which examples of work will be posted.
The manufacturing process is as follows: flowers are created from wrapping paper, the core of which is candy. Individual copies are combined into original compositions.
Financial calculations
Start-up capital
Start-up costs are minimal. This is good for any business based on crafts, because everything is produced not by machine labor, but by human labor. The main costs will be focused on candy - the most expensive of the necessary materials:
- means for production - from 1,000 rubles;
- candies - from 2,000 rubles;
- Instagram profile promotion, advertising – from 1,500 rub.
The total figure is 4,500 rubles. If you plan to do the production yourself, then the costs will be much higher. But you shouldn’t get involved in big business, it all starts small.
Monthly expenses
No matter how paradoxical it may sound, monthly expenses will be much higher than the initial investment.
| Expense item | Amount, rub. |
| Purchasing materials for work | from 2 000 |
| Buying candy | from 6 000 |
| 2 000 | |
| Total | 10 000 |
All costs are calculated based on the volume of work done - business turnover. The more bouquets are made, the more money is spent, and the higher the income. You can’t spend a lot on advertising; it’s important to create such a flow of clients that you can handle it. You can’t “drain” leads; it turns out that the money was wasted.
How much can you earn?
The amount of earnings depends on the efforts made. The more energy poured into a business, the faster it flourishes. The cost of one bouquet ranges from 500 to 1000 rubles. The market price is 1000-3000 rubles (depending on the size). Thus, you will be able to earn from 500 rubles for one bouquet. The average income per unit of manufactured goods is 1000 rubles. You can easily make 1 bouquet of sweets in one day. Subtracting monthly expenses, net revenue will start at 30 thousand rubles. It is possible to recoup the costs in the first month of operation.
