Giving a bunch of chocolate bars is boring. It doesn’t feel like a gift at all. Chocolate bouquets have solved this problem and allowed us to gift chocolates that look and feel like a present.

A chocolate bouquet is a unique and beautiful gift. It is ideal for occasions like valentines day, anniversaries and birthdays of spouses. Follow this BP Guide to know how to make a simple chocolate bouquet.

A chocolate bouquet must resemble an actual flower bouquet. This means that the chocolate wrappers, specifically their colours, become significant. Flower bouquets are of two types, the first type consists of flowers belonging to a single colour and the second type consists of multicoloured flowers. Your chocolate bouquet will resemble one of the types. If you are opting for the single colour type then use chocolates whose wrappers share the same colour. If you are opting for the multicoloured type then use a bunch of chocolates that have different coloured wrappers.

It is pretty easy to arrange the chocolates. You need bamboo skewers for this, one skewer for each unit of chocolate. Take one bamboo skewer and attach one chocolate to the top part of its length. You can use both hot glue and sellotape to attach the chocolates but we recommend hot glue as they look neat. After attaching the chocolates, fasten the lower ends of three skewers with a string of hot glue or sellotape. It should resemble an inverted triangle. Make three such inverted triangles.

You need 3 square pieces of paper to make the bouquet holder. Each square must be slightly larger than the previous one. Take the smallest square and fold two parallel ends towards the centre of the paper to make a triangle formation with a flat at the top. Secure this formation by sticking the folded ends to the centre of the paper. Do the same with the other two square papers.

Take one inverted triangle (refer to step 2) and place it on the table. Take another inverted triangle and place it on top of the first one but slightly lower. Similarly, place the third one on the second but slightly lower. Cut off the extended lower ends of the skewers of the second and third inverted triangles so that all the skewers are of the same level at the bottom. Secure this formation by fastening the lower ends of the skewers. Now place the lower part of this formation on the smallest square and secure it with glue. Then do the same with the second square and then with the third square.

Following are three tips to keep in mind while making a chocolate bouquet.

Keeping it simple is often the best way to go about things. Chances of error increase when you try to make an elaborate chocolate bouquet, especially if you are making it for the first time. A simple chocolate bouquet looks minimal and sophisticated and serves its purpose.

The chocolate units will be attached to slim bamboo skewers which then will be fastened at the lower ends. If the chocolate bars are big and heavy, the formation might break under the weight. Hence, pay attention to the size and weight of the chocolate bars when selecting chocolate for the bouquets.

Use glue instead of sellotape. Sellotape is easy to use and is not as messy as glue but the bouquet will not look aesthetic with sellotape all over it. Glue remains hidden and besides, it is a stronger adhesive than sellotape. Your bouquet will not be dismantled easily if you use glue.
