• Double-sided adhesive tape, useful to attach to it candy, or other elements to decorate the topiary.
• Stick for the trunk.
• Thermal gun. It is necessary to fasten the parts together and to decorate the tree.
• Stand for topiary.
• Gypsum. It is needed in order to fill the stand, thereby making the tree stable.
• Sweets for making a crown.
• Paper for decorating the stand.

The process of creating a topiary from sweets

1. For a base, take a ball of foam and glue it with double-sided tape, the right color. This is done in order to avoid the use of various adhesives in the work with sweets. Do not forget that the basis should be left groove for the trunk of the future tree. In this hole drip the glue and put on the future trunk. Leave for a while, you can use an ordinary plastic bottle for this. If the foam is not near at hand, then you can build a ball of newspapers or foil. In this case, it is better to wrap such a foundation with corrugated paper, suitable for color.

2. Now prepare the stand for the tree. It can be a flower pot or any other suitable container, the main thing is that it should fit in shape and size. Fill it with gypsum and insert the barrel with the base for the crown. Working with gypsum requires more time than with any other filler, but the stability of this tree is much better.

3. Next, you should take care of the crown of the tree. Since the base was pasted with adhesive tape, it is best to choose round flat candy:

But you can use the options with other kinds of sweets. In this case, the foam core does not need to be glued. This requires pins, toothpicks or wire. Simply attach a wire or toothpick to the candy and anchor on the base. Often sweets are wrapped in flowers made from wrapping paper, then you can safely use glue. Still there is a very simple option - the crown is made of chupa-chups.

4. The last stage is decorating the tree with decorative elements. The wood support can be wrapped with paper, as in this example:

You can also apply acrylic paint and draw various patterns. And not to regret a beautiful mug for the stand.

Inside the stand, too, requires draping. To close the gypsum, use sisal of the appropriate color, for example, as follows:

You can also put cardboard on the plaster and sprinkle with candies on top, but smaller ones, in the form of a dragee. Or, to fill it with glass pebbles of different colors, like here:

The trunk is decorated with bows, paper or ribbon:

You can also paint the trunk, but in this case it is necessary to do this first of all, before planting the base.

Such a microscope can be used not only for candy trees, but also for creating topiaries from another material. There are various types of such decorative trees, they can be not only of round shape, but also in the form of bouquets or hearts. Below is a video that will greatly simplify your work.
