On the eve of the upcoming holiday, you should think about what presents you can please your friends and loved ones. Perfect solution there will be gifts from sweets for the New Year 2018, made by hand. Sweets will appeal to everyone and will complement the numerous decorations in the house, while maintaining the appropriate atmosphere.

First of all, in new year's eve you can not do without the foamy splashes of champagne under the loud chimes. However, the bottle will not look so monotonous and will make a splash if presented in the appropriate packaging. For example, disguised as tropical fruit- pineapple, one of the favorite treats on holiday table this time of year.

To create such a gift, in addition to a bottle of champagne, you will need:

• sweets in golden wrappers, approximately 70-90 pieces;
• ribbon-aspidistra (it can be purchased at a florist's shop);
• a little sisal fiber to taste;
• glue gun.

You can take more sweets by offering them to guests for tea. If you don't have a glue gun at home, superglue will replace it, but it's worth getting a few.

First you need to remove the tails. They should not be cut off. It is enough to bend them to the back of the candy and put them on hot glue. It is necessary to work very carefully, as you can burn yourself.

Don't apply too much glue. Its surplus will give the gift an untidy look, in addition, the sweets may melt. After bending the tails, it is recommended to give them time to dry, and then put the candies in the refrigerator so that they do not lose their shape and do not flow, because in the future they will again need to be applied with hot glue.

As shown in photo 4, a drop of glue should be applied to the very tip. For convenience, you can iron the candy with a pencil, but do not press hard on it so as not to flatten it.

When the blanks are finished, you can start decorating the bottle. Approximately in the center of reverse side candy must be applied with glue, and until it has hardened, press it to the bottle. It is recommended to start from the bottom, leaving no gaps between the sweets. Sisal fibers can be added to hide any glue protrusions. They will also make the pineapple more natural.

Photo 8 clearly shows which part of the bottle should be left untouched. With the help of yellow sisal, all the gaps between the sweets are filled. This stage is not required, but it will give the gift a more elegant look.

Then the tape is cut into segments of approximately the same length. Instead of tape, you can use corrugated paper or other materials to taste. The edges of each segment should be sharpened.

It is recommended to start gluing the leaves from the very top, in the center of the cork, gradually descending to the sweets. The top of the fluffy pineapple tail is formed from four pieces of ribbon. Then it is pasted over with four more sheets, spreading them in different sides and giving splendor.

At the next stage, the neck is glued over, covering it with sheets. It will take about seven tiers to convey realistic foliage. Do not do more, otherwise it will look too cumbersome.

Finally, you can tie the neck with light sisal or make a bow with red ribbon to soften the transition from green to treats. On this New Year's gift with a surprise is ready.

Candy tree

The next original and easy-to-make sweet gift will be a small Christmas tree. This perfect solution, because such a tree will not crumble, will retain its outfit and will delight the eye even at the end of the festive week.

To create such a beauty you will need:

• thick cardboard for the cone;
• sweets in golden or any other wrappers;
• thread with beads of the same or contrasting color;
• PVA glue or another at your discretion;
• thin double-sided tape;
• scissors.

It is worth noting that in this master class they will not be required, however, thanks to the example in photo 16, it is easier to determine the desired diameter of the Christmas tree.

At the first stage, a blank for the cone is cut out. You can purchase a ready-made foam cone at the store or pre-cut the base from paper, and then attach it to cardboard and cut it along the contour, thus reducing the risk of spoiling or carelessly bending the material.

You should not make a cone out of paper, as it will not support the weight of sweets. After folding the cardboard, it is necessary to fix it around the edges with glue and leave to dry for a while.

Then, using double-sided tape, glue the resulting figure with sweets. In this case, they have a pyramidal shape, but you can choose the most common sweets and glue them on one of the tails of the wrapper. It is important to place sweet treats evenly, starting at the very base of the cone and gradually rising to its top.

Since the cone is pointed towards the top, with each new tier typed, the number of sweets should be reduced by 2-3. Only 5-6 candies will remain in the last row, but less can be. The main thing is that the tree does not look bulky.

The top of the Christmas tree is traditionally decorated with a star. You can use one of the elements of the Christmas tree garland, buy a finished figurine or cut it out of cardboard, paint it with varnish, acrylic or wrap it in foil.

Upon completion, a string of beads is stretched between the rows of sweets, in places grabbing it with glue. Additional decorations are selected at your discretion. This completes the master class.

Sweet Christmas tree with tinsel

As alternative you can consider a sweet Christmas tree decorated with green tinsel. Such a gift will wonderful decoration for the home, leaving expensive artificial trees behind.

To create you will need:

• cardboard or thick paper;
• tinsel (one turn should be enough);
• thin double-sided tape;
• regular tape or glue;
• oblong sweets in colorful wrappers;
• scissors.

Based on the previous master class, you need to cut and glue a cardboard cone. Its edges are fixed with glue or tape.

Then, along the very edge of the base of the cone, a strip of tinsel is glued with double-sided tape. To keep it well, it is recommended to iron it several times with your fingers, pressing it against the cardboard, and then slightly fluff it. Next, a new strip of adhesive tape for sweets is glued on top of the tier with tinsel.

They are fixed at the very tip of the wrapper. The main thing is that in the end the layer with sweets slightly, but not completely, covers part of the greenery. Sweet treats are placed as close to each other as possible to fit as many as possible, but as mentioned earlier, with each new tier their number will decrease.

Tinsel should be glued so that it covers the ponytails for which the sweets are hung. Thus, gaps can be avoided. In total, such tiers can turn out 5-6. For additional fixation, sweets can be grabbed from above with ordinary tape. Upon completion, 3-4 sweets are glued to the top and wrapped with tinsel. On this, the Christmas tree is ready.

In this master class, all the elements are put on hot glue, but it will be much easier for the child to take the desired delicacy if it is glued with double-sided tape. It doesn't grab treats as much, thus reducing the risk of damaging them when trying to peel them off.

At the next stage, sweets are ironed over the chocolate bar. They should be ironed out with a pyramid, with each tier reducing the number by one, until a small hill is formed. The most delicious candy is placed on top of it.

At the last stage, the sleigh is tied with a ribbon, a bow is glued on top and Santa Claus is put forward. In this case, two pieces of tape were used. First, their ends were glued, and then the tapes themselves were centered among themselves.

If desired, you can place in the center of the sleigh chocolate egg with a surprise.
