With all the materials already prepared, it's time to start assembling the bouquets. The steps are very simple .

  • To start, take the wooden sticks and insert the sweets into them in the order you want. You don't have to fill them completely, but leave at least half of them empty, so that you can put them all together. Ideally, all the sticks should be different so that the result is visually different.
  • When you have them all ready, it's time to make the bouquets. To do this, gather as many bouquets as you want - between 8 and 10 in this case - and tie the sticks with the raffia ribbon at the bottom, making sure they are well secured.
  • Next, wrap them in the coloured cellophane paper, and to make sure it won't open, tape the base of the bouquets with masking tape.
  • Finally, place the raffia ribbon on the adhesive tape for decoration and extra support, twisting it several times so that it is very firm. The bouquets are now ready!
