What could be more symbolic than packaging candy in the form of candy ? So, you need:
- A4 cardboard sheet. Color does not matter - everything is at the request of the master
- A sheet of paper that can be used as decoration - again, the color is not important
- Braid for decoration
- Pencil, eraser, ruler
- Scissors, stationery knife
- Glue – the usual “Moment” may work
IMPORTANT: If you still want to decorate the packaging not with paper, but with colored film, it is recommended to choose glue in the form of a pencil or double-sided tape. This will prevent any noticeable glue stains from appearing on the packaging.
Here's what you need to make packaging for candy.
You can get started:
- On the wrong side of the cardboard you need to draw the following diagram . In it, solid lines are cut lines, dotted lines are fold lines.
Scheme for creating packaging for candies
- Now you should cut out the necessary parts , using a stationery knife and a ruler for convenience. It is preferable to place some hard surface under the workpiece, such as thick cardboard.

- Now step back a centimeter from the cut diamonds on the front side of the cardboard , drawing a line. You also need to retreat the specified distance from the second row of diamonds.
These lines need to be drawn on the candy packaging blank.
- Next, you need to make folds according to the previously drawn dotted lines. It’s worth starting with smaller parts , then it’s better to process the longitudinal lines , and only then the transverse ones.
IMPORTANT: It is preferable to use a ruler to obtain straight fold lines.

This stylish packaging will definitely lift your lover's spirits.
For a gift you will need:
- whatman;
- scissors;
- ribbons;
- braid;
- buttons (optional);
- rhinestones;
- artificial flowers.
Work process.
- To make an unusual gift, just draw a corset on two pieces of paper, move 1 cm away from the edges (except for the upper parts) and cut out the templates.
- Next, on one side we make slits for the ribbons.
- Now we connect the templates together and fix them on the cardboard.
- We insert ribbons into the holes and make bows out of them (like on a real corset).
- If desired, we decorate the packaging with artificial flowers, rhinestones or braid.
- We fill the craft with candies and give it to our loved one.
How to pack candies and sweets in corrugated paper: diagram, photo
To create a cone-bag in which you can put candy, you will need:
- Corrugated paper
- A sheet of regular landscape paper or cardboard
- Scissors, glue
- Ribbon
- Ruler, pencil, compass
IMPORTANT: If the latter is unavailable, you can use something round and hard - for example, a saucer.
Operating procedure:
- A circle is drawn on landscape paper or cardboard
- The circle is divided into 4 sections
- Now you need to leave 2 sections, cutting off the excess . But you must remember to leave a small piece for gluing.
- Next, the workpiece is glued together to form a cone.
- Now you need to glue corrugated paper along the edges of the formed cone.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to glue it in a slightly folded state.
- All that remains is to decorate the cone, fill it with candies and tie the packaging on top with some fancy ribbon.
This is how the packaging for sweets ends up in the form of small bags.
And you can make the packaging only from corrugated paper. To do this you just need:
- a template in the form of petals of any flower from plain paper
For example, a template for making packaging for candy could look like this
- Corrugated paper needs to be folded in half
- to it . It is preferable to secure it with paper clips
- The workpiece is cut out using a stencil
- Next, the workpiece needs to be unfolded - this mechanism resembles the process of cutting snowflakes
- A candy is placed in the middle of the blank . You can try to fit in a few sweets too
- All that remains is to tie the packaging on top with some tape
IMPORTANT: If you tie the corrugated packaging directly above the candy and straighten the remaining paper, the petals will turn out more voluminous.
As a result, you may end up with a flower-like packaging for sweets.
"Bouquet"
A wonderful sweet composition can be presented to your beloved or mother. Women will appreciate a cute and at the same time luxurious gift.
It is best to purchase round candies in foil packaging.
For work we will need:
- long wooden skewers;
- multi-colored corrugated paper;
- glue;
- foil;
- wire;
- ribbons;
- various decorative elements.
Manufacturing process:
- We take corrugated paper of several colors, draw squares, and cut them out with scissors.
- On each blank we draw petals and straighten them, giving them the desired shape.
- Then we insert one petal on top of the other (diagonally), thereby forming a rose. For reliability, the petals can be secured with glue.
- Place a round candy in the center of the flower.
- Now we make the stems and leaves. Wrap a wooden skewer in green corrugated paper and secure it with glue.
- We draw the leaves, cut them out, and glue the blanks onto the stems.
- Use a skewer to pierce the middle of the flower so that it goes slightly into the candy itself. But if you do not want to use this method, then you can first connect the skewer with the flower with wire, slightly straighten the upper part of the stem and, last of all, carefully insert the candy.
- Next, we decorate the flowers in foil, wrap the finished bouquet with ribbon, decorate it with rhinestones if desired, and give it as a gift.

Paper selection
The most common way to decorate a gift is gift paper.
It comes in several types, each of which has its own differences:
- Sheet glossy paper. The paper can be of different colors, both plain and multi-colored. The density of the sheets is minimal, which allows them to be used in various interesting wrapping options.
Most often, this type of paper is used for packaging boxes in the shape of a square and rectangle.
- Craft. Characterized by increased wear resistance and density. To the touch, kraft paper is much rougher than the previous version and has a ribbed surface with a cross section.
Great for gifts in retro or Provence style, as well as large sizes. Such packaging requires additional decoration on top.
- Silence. This type of packaging is papyrus Whatman paper. Its thin airy structure allows you to give the gift a smart and elegant look.
Tishyu is also used as a filler in a gift box. It is convenient to wrap objects of complex geometric shapes in this paper, which gives them additional volume.
- Polysilk. It is a stretchy film onto which a metallic shade is applied. It only comes in a single color version.
Used for wrapping objects with sharp corners, as well as toys. The gift is placed in the middle of the packaging list, and the edges rise up and are decorated with a bow made of the same material.
- Corrugated paper. For packaging gifts, material with large embossing is used. Often this look is complemented with polysilic bows, which gives the packaging a sophisticated look.
You can wrap any objects in this paper: boxes, bottles, tubes.
- Mulberry. Designer look of crinkled paper. Available in a variety of colors, and in some cases also has an ornament or design.
Used as a wrapper for items of any shape. If necessary, the gift is complemented with a small decor on top.
