How to choose material for a bouquet of toys

The most important thing in such bouquets is toys, because they are the whole point. It is better to pick up 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 pick up the same animals, for example, bears, or dial several different ones.

You need to fasten toys with thin wire, or wooden or plastic sticks. Most often, they are inserted into a piece of styrofoam or specialty foam that 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 wrapping, you will need wrapping paper, which is used in flower shops to pack a flower arrangement. It can be foil paper, corrugated paper, or packaging that looks like a fine mesh.

Do not forget about the bow, it is best to make it from a satin ribbon, as the paper ribbon can wrinkle, the pattern will wear off and the bouquet will not 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 amount of these additions so that they do not overshadow the main toys.

Bouquets of sweets and toys

Rarely does a girl or woman dislike sweets. Therefore, a bouquet of toys can be easily supplemented with a few sweets, taking into account the tastes of the person to whom the bouquet is intended. It could be Rafaello, Ferrerro Roche 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 put inside. You can simply attach the candies to a stick and add them to the future bouquet, because you can decorate them beautifully. For example, round candies can be wrapped in paper, and from it, in turn, make a beautiful rosette or another flower. The Kinders will have to tinker a bit longer, but they'll look great too.

Step by step bouquet of toys

Prepare all the necessary materials: toys, packaging, glue, scissors, a piece of styrofoam, decor, satin ribbon, a leg for a bouquet (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's 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 for making bouquets.

1. Cut a circle out of polystyrene, it should not be very large in diameter, the main thing is that all the toys fit on it.
2. You don't have to touch the top of the foam, but you need to trim the edges a little from the bottom to get a conical shape.
3. Insert the leg into the bottom of the foam, having previously coated it with glue.
4. Now you can go to the plush keychains. They should be selected based on who you will be making the bouquet to. For the bride's bouquet, a pair of bears dressed as a bride and groom are ideal. If the bouquet is intended for an adult, then the toys can be safely planted on glue. If for a child, then there is a possibility that the child will gut the whole bouquet and play with plush animals. Therefore, it is better to fasten with a wire, or with ribbons... In this case, the toy must be tied with a ribbon to a stick, making a beautiful bow. You can simply put the toy on the wire by bending the tip so that the keychain does not fly off. You can also bend the wire around the animal's body.
5. You can arrange the toys on the styrofoam in any order you want. The wire sticks into the foam, and if you use glue, the toys just sit with it on the piece of foam.
6. Now it's the turn of packing. First you need to glue the paper to the stem and base of the bouquet. After that, make a skirt for the leg from another piece of wrapping paper.
7. Tie a beautiful satin bow between the base and the leg, and the bouquet can be supplemented with beads, rhinestones, butterflies or birds. For "deliciousness", you can add sweets or chocolate eggs.
