	As a result of our efforts, you will get a great watch!
	We download on the Internet or draw a clock dial in watercolor or gouache. You can take a napkin with a dial and make decoupage on cardboard, or take any New Year's proportional postcard or picture and write the numbers yourself with black gouache. We cut out the dial - we need two pictures: one with numbers, the other just for New Year's reverse side hours.
	We apply the dial to the foam plastic 5 cm thick and circle it. We cut out the contour with a convenient knife, we clean the sidewalls with it.
	We glue the dial and the wrong side on the cardboard for greater strength.
	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.
	On the top of the clock we attach two large sweets in the manner of an alarm clock. From below we glue two flat large sweets, which will serve as stable legs.
	We finish the work by gluing the arrows.

Watch hands are made from ribbons, cardboard, stickers, oracal, beads, braid.

Any decorative elements are attached to the clock after complete assembly. In order for the watch to be stable, you should not unnecessarily decorate it with heavy objects.

	We pierce the inside of the candy packaging with a toothpick without touching the product itself.
	We lower the edges of the package and glue a piece of organza.
	We wrap the candy several times and fix the edges with glue. We will tie the organza with a ribbon immediately under the candy, wrapping the leg of the toothpick.
	So let's wrap all the sweets. For the next stage of work, we will prepare a skein of wide lace, a cut of organza, scissors, decorative beads, paper butterflies, toothpicks, a cardboard circle, a tube from paper napkins or packaging polyethylene, a cut piece of foam, corrugated paper.
	We cut off a triangular small piece from the circle (we will twist the bag) and make a slot slightly smaller than the diameter of the tube. We make small cuts around the slot, as in the photo. We bend the edges of the cardboard circle.
	We put a cardboard bowl on the tube and fix it with hot glue.

candy cake

A delicious cake can be cut without a knife, if it is not based on cakes, but on candy sweets. Laying everything in layers or stacking it in piles is a matter of taste.

We will need:

1. We take wallpaper (width 1.5 m for a Christmas tree 30-35 cm). We make a compass from a pen and a thread, draw a semicircle with a radius such as the height of the tree.

2. We twist the cone from the semicircle - the wall is double. We glue with hot glue, because. it gives additional rigidity to the base.

3. We make a base from foam plastic (or foam plastic) - we circle the bottom of the cone, cut it out. At the bottom, we bevel one edge so that it can then be inserted into our cone. We remove the bottom to the side, it will come in handy a little later.

4. Then glue the candies. If the sweets are light, you can glue them on double-sided tape, and if the candies are heavy, glue them on the tip of the package. We glue the candies not quite in a full circle, because. the tinsel will need to be passed along the glued candy tails to the second row and further in a spiral. We do everything in parallel - we glued a few sweets, followed by tinsel.

5. When everything is pasted over, we cut the tinsel, if necessary. We glue the bottom of the tree.

6. If you have an asterisk or beautiful bow, or something else to decorate the crown - well, if not - take the wire and make a star!

7. We fasten the tip of thin golden tinsel to the beginning of the star, then wrap it around the wire along the entire frame, cut it off, and glue the end of the tinsel on the other side.

8 Fasten the star to the crown.

9. We decorate the Christmas tree with beads - carefully glue the first bead into the base of the star, then we wrap the Christmas tree along the sweets with beads and at the end we also carefully glue the last bead at the base.

Candy Christmas toys

We will need:

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…

1. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper, grease the paper a little with oil. Better yet, use a baking bag instead of paper. Put the molds on paper, put a few caramels in the molds.

2. 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.

3. Now we put future candy toys in an 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.

4. While the caramels are still warm, make a hole with a knife.

5. When they are completely cool, we take them out of the mold and tie a ribbon or rope. This is such delicious beauty! If you decide to eat them, then it is better to make two servings - one for the Christmas tree, the second for the table.

In this article, you will learn how to make decorative candies to decorate your home for the holidays.
