Whenever we are invited to a celebration, we rack our brains on what to give us, which one to choose presentso that it is original, beautiful, and unusual. You will not surprise anyone with a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of champagne, but to make some kind of composition in which you can combine sweets, flowers, and a bottle of your favorite drink will be both original and very unusual.
Just today's master class will help us cope with this task as never before.

So, what do we take to create such a creation:

  • A few sheets of thick cardboard from under any unnecessary boxes;
  • Crepe paper in burgundy, dark green and metallic gold;
  • PVA glue;
  • Plain cardboard, half of the album sheet;
  • White plain cardboard A4;
  • Double-sided tape;
  • Plain tape;
  • Green foil;
  • Transparent packaging;
  • A bow of gold color and a narrow gold ribbon;
  • Glue gun, stapler, scissors, pencil;
  • Golden narrow ribbon made of brocade, width 0.7-0.8 cm;
  • Narrow pink satin ribbon;
  • Chocolate bar; a bottle of champagne, nine Golden Lily candies; different sweets and bars about 30 pieces.

First, draw a horseshoe symbol on a piece of cardboard, so that nine Golden Lily candies fit on it.
