But what is topiary for the New Year? You guessed it - it’s customary to make wishes on New Year’s Eve. And if you decide to make a New Year’s tree of happiness with your own hands, then you will have every opportunity to securely secure your wish with durable glue.
Before you start making it, you need to decide on its shape. New Year's topiary can have a traditional round shape, but you can also give it a curly shape, for example a Christmas tree shape.
We will consider the option of topiary from Christmas balls. You will need to prepare:
- Christmas balls silver or golden color(you can combine the colors of the balls)
- Foam for base
- stick
- Potty
- Polystyrene foam for ball
- New Year's design elements - pine cones, decorative berries and fruits
- If you have chosen a pot for the New Year's theme, then you can leave it as it is now. In another case, the pot must initially be decorated with satin fabric and secured to the base of the pot with double-sided tape
- Immediately place foam inside the pot, which will serve as a reliable support for your topiary. Secure the trunk in the middle of the oasis - it can be an ordinary stick wrapped in satin ribbon or a cardboard base made from cling foil or film
- At this stage, attach the foam to the upper part of the trunk of the tree of happiness, having previously made it into a ball shape. The moment has come when we will form the crown of the tree with our own hands. In our case, this is New Year's toys-balls. Place each individual ball on toothpicks and glue them at the base. Now insert the toothpicks with balls tightly into the crown ball.
- If you use large balls, then the spaces between them can be filled with small balls and decorated with beads and tinsel
- To ensure that your design holds up well, we recommend gluing the balls together at the end of the work.
Don't be afraid to use your imagination, add or change elements at your discretion. The main rule is that they match each other in color!

Becoming a jack of all trades is not easy, you need skills, knowledge and experience. However, there are interior decoration items that anyone can learn to make. Topiary is one of them. This is a fantasy tree, the crown of which can be made from any available materials. Candies are ideal for this purpose. This product will not only decorate the room, but will also be an excellent gift. New form A banal box with chocolate figures will pleasantly surprise those with a sweet tooth.
Topiary consists of several elements, so you first need to select base materials, and only then choose decorations for the crown.
The components of the future decorative tree are as follows:
- Pot. It should be large and heavy enough. Its size and weight are determined depending on similar parameters of the main structure. Candies can vary in weight, size and density, so first decide on the type of sweets you use, and then choose a pot. It is better to use a clay vessel.
- Material for giving the crown shape. Decide in what form geometric figure the tree's cap will be made. After that, create it from scrap materials. The best thing for this is newspaper, which can be compressed to the desired shape, and then secure the shape with tape. Will also fit finished goods– small children’s plastic or rubber balls. You can also cut out a shape from foam plastic.
- Trunk. You need a smooth and fairly long stick that can support the weight of the top. For small trees, even a simple pencil will do. In other cases, they use the handles of artistic brushes or buy blanks in handicraft stores.
- Related materials. These include glue, foam for filling the pot, pebbles, various little things to imitate fantasy soil, satin ribbons for decorating the trunk and, of course, the candies themselves.
Master class on creating topiary from Chupa Chups
Chupa Chups are children's favorite lollipops on thin plastic sticks. A tree made from such sweets will bring joy to any child. It’s not at all difficult to make; a master class will help with this, which will cover all the features of the creative process.
This topiary looks best in the form of a ball. To hide the sticks and secure the candies well, take a frame made of foam or other material in which it is easy to make many holes.
Prepare all the necessary parts of the craft - a pot, a trunk and a base for the crown. Also in this specific example we will need:
- Chupa chups. Take candies of the same size. Choose the wrapper color at your discretion. Don't use candies that are too large. They are very heavy, the top of the tree will be bulky, and the structure itself will be unstable.
- Satin ribbon. It is needed to wrap around a stick that imitates a trunk. Choose a color that matches the color of the candy wrappers.
- Pot. Use a heavy pot or load it with rocks. Otherwise, the structure may topple over—chupa chups weigh a lot.
- Polyurethane foam. It fills the pot. It will ensure the stability of the entire structure.
- Decor for a pot. If you don't want to reuse lollipops by sticking them into the foam, take a narrow strip of chiffon fabric and pins with colored round heads.
- Glue. Transparent, non-marking and quick-drying.
- Crown. Insert the candy sticks all the way to the base into the ball. Try to arrange the elements as much as possible closer friend to a friend so that the base material is not visible. The result was a hat made of candy canes.
- Trunk. Take satin ribbon, carefully coat it with glue and completely wrap the barrel stick.
- Pot. Pour polyurethane foam inside and wait for it to harden. If there are any bumps at the top, cut them off so that the surface is not lumpy.
- Assembly. Stick the decorated stem into the pot, then put on the candy ball. To make the structure stronger, coat the connecting holes with glue.
- Take a chiffon scarf and, draping it in graceful folds under the tree, pin it in several places. This will hide the foam in the pot and make the topiary more elegant.
Cute sweet gift ready.

Other ideas for creating a DIY candy topiary
Candy is a fertile material for making topiary. They can be any colors, any shape and size. This opens up almost limitless possibilities for creativity.
What other ideas, in addition to those already discussed, can be implemented when creating a decorative tree?
- Sweets can be used without wrapping. Crowns are made from marmalade, marshmallows, toffees and other soft candies, which should be attached to the frame using toothpicks. This is a great idea for dessert tables at weddings.
- Sweet dragees, sugared nuts or small candies are poured into the pot. Such a filler will both make the structure heavier and serve as an additional source of treats.

Sweet tree - an unusual gift!
A sweet tree (candy tree) can be given not only as an additional gift, but also as an independent gift.
The occasion can be absolutely any: birthday or anniversary, wedding or wedding anniversary, christening, New Year, March 8, Valentine's Day or even February 23.
By choosing the appropriate color scheme and adding various accessories, both men and women will be pleased to receive such a tree.
For the sweet tree, prepare
* ball for the base (foam or dry sphere, you can make a lump of newspapers, tie it with thread, but this worst option). The diameter depends on the size of the tree you want to get. I take 12 cm in diameter.
* candies
* fabric or corrugated paper
* wire for the base of the trunk
* cord for wrapping the trunk
* a pot in which we will plant a tree
* plaster
* sisal
* scissors
* heat gun
* beads, ribbons
I did not use all the materials from the photo in the wood making process.
Let's start with the trunk. We take the wire, fold it in several layers to the thickness that we want to get the tree trunk. The length is greater than the height of the tree; we will need to form “roots” and make a bend in the trunk.
We fix the cord at a short distance from the edge of the wire and begin to wrap the barrel. Leave the wire empty for the roots.
Forming roots.
Place the ball on the trunk and look at the height of the tree. You can adjust the height by pushing the ball deeper onto the barrel.
Let's start forming the crown. I prefer working with fabric, so I cut squares from 3 types of material. They are called pounders. Used to fill the space between candies. During the process of making wood, I decided to replace the beige pounds with white ones.
There are several ways to attach candy. I'll just glue them on.
I glue pounds to the candy, forming a flower with a candy center. I glue it to the ball.
Gradually fill the entire surface of the ball with candies. I insert pounds into the gaps between the flowers.
We plant our tree. We spread the plaster, insert the tree, fill in the roots and let it harden.
After hardening, you can begin the most pleasant and very favorite part of me - decoration.
To hide the plaster, we glue sisal on top. The color suited me was red.
We glue beads and ribbon bows onto the pounds, and tie a bow of two ribbons on the trunk.
I also made spirals from tape and glued them on as well.
It turned out very bright, colorful and festive!
Flower yummy!!!
Craft with your hands.
At the same time, I usually don’t care what to do: sew, knit, draw or glue. The main thing is to do something quietly in front of the TV and enjoy the sight of a sleeping child.
Knowing this, one of my work colleagues asked me to make her a candy bouquet. I haven’t done this before, but after looking through the Internet and looking at other people’s examples, I started building a floral treat. This is how I did it.
I bought 3 packs of these candies
I took green and white corrugated paper. I cut out leaves and petals from it. I made the base of the leaf a little narrower and rolled it into a tube. 
For added elegance, I took five more candies and tied them to long sticks. The sweets were wrapped in white tulle and tied with a gold ribbon.
I tied a wire to one of the candy's tails, then attached white and green leaves around it. I wrapped the whole thing around the top with paper wax tape.
I took a roll of transparent wrapping paper and cut it into squares somewhere around 15X15. I folded the squares so that the central part would form a bracelet, to which I would then attach a wire.
I cut out a cube from foam plastic - size 15X15. The base is wrapped green paper. If only the view from below would be aesthetic. I glued the paper to the foam using a hot glue gun. I glued the decorated cube to the stem and base of the bouquet.
I inserted bunches of twisted wrapping paper into the base of the bouquet (bottom).
Next, alternating candy flowers and bunches, I filled the entire surface of the foam. 
I stuck these 5 candies into the top of the bouquet. I glued the gold beads with the same hot glue. That's all - your colleague's wedding gift bouquet is ready!
