How to make a bouquet of toys with your own hands

What do girls like to receive most as a gift?? Of course, these are flowers. And they will certainly be delighted with a bouquet of toys or candies. Everyone will be happy with such a bouquet: adults, children, these bouquets are perfect suitable for the bride and groom, sister, brother, mother, employee.

How to choose material for a bouquet of toys

The most important thing in such bouquets is the toys, because they are the whole point. It is better to select small plush animals; it will be more convenient to make a bouquet with them. The ideal option would be plush keychains that hang on bags or keys. You can select the same animals, for example, bears, or select several different ones.

Toys must be secured using thin wire or wooden or plastic sticks. Most often they are inserted into a piece of polystyrene foam or special foam, which is used in florist shops. You will definitely need glue; it is better to choose the most expensive and high-quality one so that it does not have a chemical smell. For the wrapping you will need wrapping paper, the kind they use in flower shops to pack flower arrangements. This can be foil paper, corrugated paper, or packaging similar to a fine mesh.

Don’t forget about the bow, it’s best to make it from a satin ribbon, as the paper one can wrinkle, the design will be erased and the bouquet will no longer look very good. In addition to toys, you can use additional decorations: artificial birds, butterflies, feathers, rhinestones, beads, sparkles, bows, fabric flowers. The main rule is that there should be a minimum number of these additions so that they do not overshadow the main toys.

Bouquets of sweets and toys

It's rare that a girl or woman doesn't like sweets. Therefore, a bouquet of toys can easily be supplemented with several sweets, taking into account the tastes of the person for whom the bouquet is intended. This could be Raffaello, Ferrero Rocher and others. If the bouquet is made for a child, then the ideal option would be Kinder Surprises, which children love so much for the taste and the toy included inside. You can simply attach the candies to a stick and add them to the future bouquet, because they can be beautifully decorated. For example, round candies can be wrapped in paper, and in turn made into a beautiful rosette or another flower. You will have to tinker with the Kinders a little longer, but they will also look wonderful.

Step-by-step bouquet of toys

Prepare all the necessary materials: toys, packaging, glue, scissors, a piece of foam, decor, satin ribbon, a bouquet stem (this can be a piece of a thin plastic tube or a cover from a glossy magazine). You choose the size of the bouquet yourself, it all depends on the number of plush animals. It is believed that for girls you need to choose a pink base, and for boys a blue one, but in general you can take packaging and toys of any shade. You can use flower baskets to make bouquets.

1. Cut a circle out of foam plastic; its diameter should not be very large, the main thing is that all the toys fit on it.
2. The top of the foam can be left untouched, but the bottom edges need to be trimmed a little to create a cone-shaped shape.
3. Insert a leg into the bottom of the foam, having previously coated it with glue.
4. Now you can move on to the plush keychains. They should be selected based on who you will be making the bouquet for. A pair of bears dressed as the bride and groom are ideal for the bride's bouquet. If the bouquet is intended for an adult, then the toys can be safely placed on glue. If for a child, then there is a chance that the child will gut the entire bouquet and play with plush animals. Therefore, it is better to fasten with wire, or with ribbons. In this case, the toy needs to be tied with a ribbon to a stick, making a beautiful bow. You can simply place the toy on the wire, bending the tip so that the keychain does not fly off. You can also bend the wire around the body of the animal.
5. You can arrange the toys on the foam in any order you want. The wire is stuck into the foam, and if you use glue, then the toys simply sit on a piece of foam with its help.
6. Now it's time for packaging. First you need to glue the paper to the stem and base of the bouquet. After this, use another piece of wrapping paper to make a skirt for the leg.
7. Tie a beautiful satin bow between the base and the leg, and the bouquet can be complemented with beads, rhinestones, butterflies or birds. For “deliciousness” you can add candies or chocolate eggs.
