How to make DIY paper candy

Even in childhood at labor lessons we were taught to make various paper crafts 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 will be presented options and schemes of candy origami that will decorate your home and give good emotions.

Option number 1

I would like to start with instructions for making a surprise candy, in which you can put sweets or a small gift. Such a craft is done quite easily, and a lot of material is not needed. Prepare in advance:

• Toilet paper carton.
• Wrapping paper about 30 x 30.
• Scissors, tape, tape.

In the middle, closer to the edge, you need to put a piece of cardboard and fix it with tape.

Wrap the carton with wrapping paper and close the seam with tape.

Tie one side with ribbon and leave the other side untied. Fill it with sweets, bars or put a small gift, for example, a chocolate hare. After that, carefully tie the other side with a ribbon.

This candy is shaped like a box. Such gifts can be given to children at school for the holidays: you can collect both economically and candy platter yourself, taking into account the tastes of children.

Option number 2

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

• Corrugated paper (choose the color of your choice, but it's best to take several).
• Scissors, silicone and regular glue, threads (the color of the paper), toothpicks.
• Balls of the same size (1.5–2 cm).

From paper, you need to cut a rectangle measuring 10 by 8 cm. Put a ball smeared with ordinary glue in the middle, closer to the edge. Wrap the ball in this paper.

After that, you need to take the threads and tie the edges of the paper close to the ball. If the ends are very long, they can be trimmed a little.

The caramel is ready. Some people also lubricate 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, pouring them into a candy bowl.

Option number 3

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

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

After that, it will be necessary to collapse the template along the lines drawn on it so that the following is obtained.

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

Option number 4

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

You need to carefully cut the diamonds as shown in the picture above. It is best, of course, to use a clerical knife for this, this process will be more accurate with it. This blank must be bent along the fold line, as a result, something similar to a cylinder will be obtained. The edges must be glued with glue, and the ends must be tied with a ribbon or thread. The product will resemble a do-it-yourself candy wrapper, in which some small bar can fit, since the craft is voluminous and there is a place.

Option number 5

Paper origami according to the scheme. Nothing but paper is needed. 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! You can decorate or paint as you wish.

Option number 6

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

Take the 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 on one side. Putting a gift inside, tie the other side. After that, we proceed to the "design" of the box. We glue a braid or ribbon on it and decorate it with sequins.

Get a big candy with your own hands.

It is not necessary to make sweets in the form of squares or rectangles. Just look at the folds of the candy of a different shape and transfer them to paper, only ten times more. Just imagine how many emotions the children will have, who will receive such a surprise candy as a gift. It's amazing how easy it is to make paper candy.

	Cut off a strip of corrugated paper 4-6 cm wider than the side. In the center of the strip, apply a little hot glue. It should not be applied to the foam, as there is a great chance to burn it. Immediately glue the sidewall.
	We make cuts on corrugated paper and glue it completely to the plane of the future clock. Now we start gluing candies to the sidewall. This can be done with double sided tape.
	Candies are good to decorate and additionally thereby secure a beautiful satin flight. We fix the tip of the tape with hot glue or a piece of tape.

Let's remember the amazing and long-forgotten tradition - to decorate the New Year tree with sweets. Children will be delighted with the process of making a toy, and then eating it. Making candy toys is very simple - you need a pack of colored caramel and 15 minutes of time. So…

Prepare:

• Colored caramel;
• Metal molds for cookies;
• baking paper;
• Oil for lubrication.

Cover the baking sheet with baking paper, the paper needs to be slightly oiled. Better yet, use a baking bag instead of paper. Put the molds on paper, put a few caramels in the molds.

It is very important that the molds and baking sheet have a flat surface and fit snugly enough to each other. Otherwise, the caramels will leak out through the gaps.

Now we put the future candy toys in the oven preheated to 180 degrees. The melting time for different caramels is different, but mostly it is 5-7 minutes. It is necessary to follow the process: as soon as the sweets melt, we immediately carefully pull them out. Otherwise, the sugar will burn out and become bitter.

While the candy is still warm, make a hole with a knife.
