Tips for beginners

If you have no experience at all in assembling delicious bouquets, then these tips will come in handy, following which you can make the task easier and gain useful experience:

We assemble the composition, starting with the heaviest element: a glass bottle, a wheel of cheese, a large ham or a volumetric cut of ham.
Everything that can be strung on skewers is strung. If it seems to be loose, tape it down with tape. Better more tape than a bouquet falling apart in different directions.
If the product is large, for example an avocado, then we string it onto several sticks. We stick the first one into the middle or the hardest part of the fruit. We insert the rest at a slight angle, but so that they can be collected together from below and then twisted with tape into one common “leg”.
Small bulk products, nuts, snacks, cheese sticks, are placed in separate bags. Give it an interesting shape. We tie it and tape it to the skewers.
You can decorate the composition using wooden scorched inscriptions, thematic little things, for example, stylish keychains with the logo of a car, favorite sports team or clothing brand.

Meat heaven

This is just a universal gift! Moreover, it is very brutal and expensive. A man simply cannot help but like such a bouquet of meat! To prepare it, select soft meat (or fish) products. They should be slightly dry and have a beautiful appearance.

We suggest you take hunting sausages (you can take salami) and dried pink salmon. And to diversify the present and add an unusual touch to it, you need to add smoked cheese (pigtail) and red hot fresh pepper. And the sausage bouquet will be a bottle of beer, you can take Jack Daniels whiskey or wine. The latter will be especially delicious, because wine and cheese are the perfect duo.

To arrange everything into a single gift, we cannot do without craft paper and wooden skewers. You will also need a sheet of cardboard, twine and tape. Now we will tell you in detail and step by step how to make a men's bouquet with your own hands. Watch the manufacturing master class and detailed description.

Step 1

. All products need to be cut into small pieces - approximately 10-15 cm.

Step 2

. Wipe the bottle with a damp disinfectant wipe, as it will be near the products (+ work with clean hands, or better yet, gloves). Cut strips of cardboard no more than 10 cm high and long enough to wrap the bottle. Wrap the bottle with a piece of cardboard. Glue it together using a hot glue gun or glue. This is the basis.

Step 3

. Take the skewers. Trim them if they are taller than 15 cm. Thread your produce onto them. Including pepper.

Step 4

. Now start making the bouquet: attach all the skewers around the bottle with tape.

Step 5

. Decorate the beer bouquet with craft paper. You can roll the paper into an envelope or a bag. Tie with twine to secure the bottle in the bouquet. Our bouquet of food and alcohol is ready! You can attach an original signature “To a real man!” And give it as an anniversary gift.

An amazing bouquet of meat is simply a huge scope for imagination. You can put any meat and smoked meats here! Various alcoholic drinks - from vodka to cognac. Everyone has their own recipe.

And to make sure of this, you can watch a free video that shows how easy it is to put together a similar gift from meat, cheese and herbs, but without alcohol:

Men's bouquet in a box, master class

Instead of boxes, you can use a small wooden box as a base. Place a foam piece with a recess for alcohol at the bottom of the box. Carefully wrap the foam with cling film.

Use a table napkin to decorate the front wall of the future bouquet. Place the bottle of alcohol and buns on the foam blank.

Place the sausage and other edible ingredients (of your choice) on skewers and place them in the box. Add greens.

IMPORTANT! If you are going to give a bouquet the next day, wrap all the ingredients in cling film so they do not lose their appearance.

From crayfish

This gift bouquet is simply truly exclusive! True, you will have to puff over it for some time. But what an amazing result!

author: Tatyana Zadvornaya

To create such a masterpiece, you will need a little more than 1 kg of crayfish and a bottle of a man’s favorite beer. For decoration, prepare craft paper, ribbons, and rubber bands. You will also need wooden skewers, tape, lemon and several sushi sticks.

And to make it convenient to give a bouquet, prepare another piece of penoplex and a tube (about 10 cm in length and no more than 5-7 cm in diameter). Step-by-step photos of making a men's bouquet are further in our article.

Step 1

. Boil the crayfish in salted water with spices and place to dry on a towel.

Step 2

. Attach 4 sushi sticks to the bottle using tape on different sides. Cut the lemon into 4 parts. We attach it to skewers.

Step 3

. We attach the crayfish to the skewers. You can do it like this. The first method: pierce the abdomen with a stick after the last legs and along the body (this part still does not go into food). The second way is using a rubber band. It needs to be worn between the tail and belly.

Step 4

. We make a blank from penoplex and a tube. It should resemble a hollow cup (penoplex) with a stem (tube). The glass should be slightly larger in diameter than the bottle. Cover the leg with craft paper.

Step 6

. We insert a bottle into the blank made of penoplex and a tube and attach the crayfish.

We wrap it in craft paper (on a square sheet we make cuts in the middle and bend the edges).

Now we glue it approximately in the middle of our bouquet, decorate it with ribbon or twine. To strengthen it better, you can use a glue stick.

When assembled, this bouquet is simply magnificent.

Bouquet design ideas

You can additionally decorate food bouquets as follows:

Using colored propylene tape. You can give it the appearance of a spiral by pressing it against one of the scissor blades and pulling it down. This ribbon can be tied to the neck of a bottle or to skewers.

Men's bouquets of products can be decorated in different variations, for example, using balloons

Spirals made of chenille wire that are easily bent by hand. They are inserted into a ready-made composition. For Valentine's Day, you can bend a heart out of chenille.
Using paper roses placed on the neck of a bottle. To make them, you need to cut out petals in the form of a long spiral from double-sided colored paper and wrap it around the neck, securing it with double-sided narrow tape.
Helium balloon on a stick.
Artificial or fresh flowers.
Colored tissue paper. To add volume, you need to crumple it a little and then place it in the empty spaces between the elements of the bouquet.
Satin ribbon bows and other decorative elements.
A postcard with congratulations.

A festive, New Year's look can be given to the bouquet with the help of shiny tinsel, which is placed between the elements of the composition. The entire set can be placed in thick paper, a wicker basket, box, flowerpot or metal bucket.

In thick paper

Packing bouquets in craft paper is the simplest and most economical way to decorate. This is a good background for a composition of any shape. Several packaging methods can be used.

Option for a small light bouquet with food:

First, cut a strip of paper about 15-20 cm wide, make cuts along one of the long sides to a depth of 2 cm.
Then you need to wrap the lower part of the bouquet with this strip and tie it with a rope.
Next, bend 2 large rectangular pieces of thick paper in half, but not evenly, but slightly diagonally. The raised corners will form a star-shaped wrapper shape.
Wrap one piece of paper sequentially around the bouquet, then the second, tie them at the bottom with a rope.

Paper option for men's bouquets
Option for a tall bouquet:

First you need to bend a piece of thick paper measuring about 40x70 cm in half along the long side.
Then cut off one of the rounded corners. Do not throw away any remaining paper. Unfold the paper and place it so that the rounded end is on top.
After this, place the finished composition on the paper, and glue the cut corners in the center with a hot glue gun - one slightly higher and the other lower.
Then fold the bottom of the large piece and also glue it in the center.
After this, simply bring the free edges of the paper together and tie them with tape.

In a basket or flowerpot

Men's bouquets made from products differ from ordinary bouquets in their large weight, so packaging them in a basket or decorative metal bucket is one of the most convenient options for compositions that contain several bottles of alcoholic beverages or many components.

In this case, sausage, vegetables and other products can not be taped to the bottle, but placed independently - by sticking them on a skewer into a piece of polystyrene or foam. To cover the unsightly top, use thin paper, tinsel and other decorative decorations.

In the box

To pack a bouquet, you can take large flat boxes in which it will fit completely horizontally, or tall boxes for vertical installation. In order to give them a decorative look, they are wrapped in beautiful shiny paper, and its joints are simply glued together with transparent wide tape.

To keep a box with a narrow bottom stable, you can put glass marbles in a grid inside. In this case, it is best to stick wooden skewers with food into a piece of polystyrene foam or floral foam, tightly adjusted to the size of the box. It can be pre-wrapped in colored tissue paper, the edges of which will protrude beautifully from the packaging.

In a flowerpot

If you use a cardboard or plastic flower pot, then its outer surface can be decorated with decorative paper.

The manufacturing process of such packaging is as follows:

First, fold a square piece of kraft paper along one diagonal and the other.
Then install the flowerpot with the finished bouquet at the intersection of the diagonals.
Then lift the ends of the paper up and combine them on the right and left so that you get a “boat” shape. Secure the paper at the bottom with a stapler.
Then bend the corners towards the center and also secure them in pairs with a stapler. The resulting figure will resemble a tie knot.

The tradition of giving men's bouquets came to European culture from the east. And if flower arrangements are still not widespread, sets of products are gaining more and more popularity.

This bouquet would be appropriate as a gift for any occasion. For an official event, it can be made only from alcohol, and for a loved one, use components based on the man’s personal preferences.

From snacks

There will be room for your imagination to run wild. Plus, this interesting and creative bouquet won’t break the bank! Choose your favorite snacks: crackers, chips, nuts, various dried fruits, potato sticks, and so on. All these goodies must be packed in different bags.

Making a bag is easy

. You can take hard cellophane, cut it into squares, roll it up and secure it with tape.

There is another way. Prepare the file. Cut it into triangles. Now carefully iron each edge and quickly press them together so that they stick together.

You can make beautiful “flowers” from pistachios or peanuts in their skins. Take a skewer and use hot glue to attach the nuts to it from top to bottom on all sides.

For a more detailed master class, watch this video:

From pistachios at home you can make amazing crafts for a present - sunflowers. And then pack them along with cans of your favorite beer, dried fish and sliced fish. And if you pack all this on an unusual backing with fir branches, you can even give such a gift to your boss!

What to add

A man's brutal meat gift should correspond to taste preferences and consist of those foods and drinks that the recipient likes. Options for composition in one set:

Meat products. Sausages, frankfurters, sausages: dry, semi-smoked, raw-smoked, dried, dry-cured, boiled, boiled-smoked. Meat: ham, meat rolls, bacon, boiled pork, ham, fillet, brisket, carbonate. In individual film or vacuum cut. Chicken meat: fried, breaded, smoked; wings, legs, legs, breast.
Cheese composition: blue, with the addition of herbs, vegetables and other additives. By consistency: hard, soft, melted. To taste: smoked, semi-smoked. In the form of braids, balls, separately packaged triangles, bars, in heads and cut in a vacuum.
Vegetables: bell peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, capers, gherkins, individual small specimens of mini-vegetables or cut into pieces.
Herbs, spices, decoration: parsley, dill, celery, chili pepper, onion, garlic, olives, viburnum berries, cranberries.
Nuts: hazelnuts, cashews, walnuts, peanuts, almonds, pistachios.
Bread: baguettes, long loaves, crackers, britzels, snacks, braids, puff pastries with spices and fillings, stretched dough rolls with fillings.
Alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks: beer, wine, vodka, cognac, whiskey, schnapps, brandy. In glass bottles or iron cans, samples or full sizes.

When beer options are collected, they are often supplemented with fish sets, seafood, and crustaceans. In bouquets for those with a sweet tooth, sausage and meat are replaced with sweets: candies, macaroons, marshmallows, waffles, chocolate, but these are more feminine options. For real brutals, a significant food supply is expected.

Bouquet of socks and money

Socks for a man's holiday or birthday are simply the subject of all sorts of jokes and gags. Well, is it possible to give such a product as a gift? Of course you can! You just have to approach this issue creatively! And make a bouquet out of socks. And if you also put some money in there, the present will be suitable for a boyfriend, husband, or even a colleague’s birthday!

So, get plenty of socks ready. Bouquets that are made up of 15 or even 20 pairs look especially lush and chic. If you have fewer of them, just think more carefully about the additional decoration of the bouquet.

Place your socks separately. Roll each one into a rose shape. Do this from the top (elastic band) to the bottom. Don't twist too tightly. Secure the rosette with a pin or use tape. Now thread each flower onto a wooden skewer. You can wrap corrugated paper, burlap, any fabric around the bud, tie it with a ribbon, twine - to your taste. Next, we form a bouquet and “put” it in wrapping paper.

What advice! Roll the money neatly into a tube and tie it (or simply place it) in a bouquet. Homemade original bouquet is ready!

Advice
. Instead of socks, you can take panties, only the number of them needs to be reduced several times. Collapse also. You will get an original bouquet of panties. Try to “diversify” the bouquet with a tie or T-shirt.

A budget gift option is socks and a belt. Perfect for a guy on February 14th. It can be done quickly and cheaply. Buy several pairs of socks and a belt. Roll up the socks, fold them together and wrap them with a belt. The top of this bouquet can be decorated with a ribbon or bow. More details in our pictures.

What to wrap it in

You can arrange a bouquet for a man in several types of packaging, each with its own pros and cons:

"Courageous Craft." An environmentally friendly option, produced in a plain brown color, with a simple single-color pattern or print imitating a newspaper. Options in white, black or other colors undergo additional chemical treatment. Therefore, when choosing such a wrapper, it is advisable to isolate the products in cling film. Plus: the packaging hides the places where the elements are fastened and tied together, visually collecting the image into a single whole. A significant disadvantage of craft paper for a men's bouquet: it wrinkles, tears, and stains appear on the surface upon contact with fatty products.
Basket. There are many options for baskets: from wicker, cattail, birch bark, bamboo, straw, thick textiles on a frame. You can even weave it yourself from tubes twisted from office paper or magazine sheets. The homemade basket is strengthened by painting and varnishing. The shapes are round, square, rectangular. When purchasing a basket, pay great attention to the handle and bottom. They must be securely attached and able to withstand the load. Plus: a secure basket allows you to complete a substantial edible bouquet. Disadvantage: even small dimensions are inconvenient for a woman’s hand, and large ones can become completely unbearable. You will have to look for an assistant to deliver a large composition.

Hat box. The name “hat box” is arbitrary; any boxes made of thick cardboard that can withstand the weight of the intended gift are suitable here. Plus: creativity of presentation. Disadvantage: even the thickest cardboard box will have to be carried on outstretched arms, take this into account when transporting long distances.
Wooden or plywood box. The option is similar to the previous one, but in a more serious design. It is unlikely that it will be possible to build such a structure without the help of a carpenter, so it is easier to either buy a ready-made one or order it from a craftsman. Plus: such packaging will not leave any man indifferent. After destroying the contents, the box will definitely find its place and find a second life in the garage or country house. Disadvantage: difficult to find, difficult to deliver.

Ideas for inspiration

Creating edible bouquets with alcohol or non-alcoholic unusual cakes and delicious gifts is a very exciting process. You can put together a men's bouquet from anything - all sorts of things. After all, you can use any goodies here: sweet candies, marshmallows, chocolates, fruits and vegetables, meat and fish, cheeses, seafood, coffee, shrimp, various miniature pretzels. And also combine different products!

A bouquet of vegetables and sausage will be stunning. Just choose the ingredients correctly. Our photos will help you!
