Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

Special gifts, made with one’s own hand and with soul, evoke a lot of positive emotions in the recipient. Non-trivial gifts include a poster with sweets, reminiscent of a wide-format postcard. To make it you will need various sweets, whatman paper, glue, multi-colored markers or paints and, of course, imagination and a good mood.

What kind of posters can there be?

In its appearance, a poster with chocolates resembles a wall newspaper, on which multi-colored congratulatory slogans are complemented by sweets with appropriate names. For sweets, you can use loose sweets, chocolate bars, packages of cookies or other treats to create a poster.

Most often, posters are made of several types:

  1. Congratulatory cards - in the form of a large postcard that can be given to a loved one for a birthday or anniversary.
  2. Sentimental - as a rule, they are given to the closest relatives. Such a gift emphasizes the warmth and depth of feelings of the giver towards the recipient.
  3. Photo collages - they are created from treats and printed photographs.
  4. For children - combined compositions are created using stickers, printed images, drawings of the child’s favorite characters. For children, such gifts bring a lot of joy and are remembered by them for a long time.
  5. Romantic - made to express sincere love feelings for your soulmate.

Any posters of various sweets can be designed as:

  • an ordinary poster - just on whatman paper;
  • postcards - whatman paper are folded in half and, if desired, additionally decorated on the outside;
  • organizer - all the goodies are placed inside a decorated folder made of thick material, which can be beautifully placed on a flat surface;
  • shapes - for example, hearts.

How to make a poster?

It’s not difficult to make a poster with chocolates and inscriptions with your own hands. To create such a presentation you need:

  • a sheet of Whatman paper - inscriptions, treats and pictures will be placed on it;
  • stationery - scissors, tape, pencils, glue, markers, paints, pens;
  • colored paper and cardboard - they are needed to separate zones on the craft and give volume to the created image;
  • various sweets;
  • beads, petals, ribbons suitable for decoration.

You need to carefully think through the idea and create a layout, after which you can begin to design the presentation. There are a lot of options for making gifts on whatman paper and each of them is absolutely original, since it is created taking into account the personality of the recipient and the reason for the celebration at which it will be presented.


A poster with chocolates is made like this:

  1. First of all, you need to decide for what purpose the postcard is being created and, based on this, choose the appropriate design option. For example, you can make a comic poster as a gift for a friend, but a more strictly designed congratulatory poster is suitable for presenting at an anniversary.
  2. Then you need to draw up a diagram - mark the locations of the goodies, inscriptions, decorations, and think about what will be located in the remaining free space. If you have no experience in creating such collages, then you need to practice first so that in the final version all the elements are arranged harmoniously and combine with each other.
  3. Next, draw the desired phrases on whatman paper using multi-colored paints, pencils, and felt-tip pens. It is important to do this carefully, since any blemish on the Whatman paper will be noticeable, which will ruin the appearance of the gift. If the creator of the poster cannot boast of beautiful handwriting, you can not write the phrases yourself, but print and cut them out, and then attach them to double-sided tape - such actions will give the craft volume.
  4. Using glue or double-sided tape, sweets are secured to whatman paper.
    The remaining free spaces can be filled with pictures, drawings, or simply painted in a tone that matches the overall concept of the craft.
  5. Lastly, decorative elements are attached to the poster - bows, voluminous stickers and others. Don’t be afraid to experiment and be original - this will only make your sweet poster better and more unique.


Design ideas

When creating a sweet birthday poster, you can use absolutely any materials, the main thing is that they fit the developed concept of the present.

  • For example, you can add a bag of coffee to your sweets, accompanied by the inscription: “I wish you to be as vigorous as 3 in 1 coffee (a bag of instant drink is glued in here) and enjoy life day after day!”
  • And a gift given for an anniversary can be decorated with the inscriptions: “On this (place a pack of “Jubilee” cookies here) morning, I want to wish...” and “May luck follow you (at this place stick a packaged croissant “7 DAYS”) a week...”.
  • For posters intended for mom, sister, dad, brother or grandparents, it is appropriate to place small packages of “My Family” juice, Kinder products (for example, in a congratulation to mom, note the joy of the donor that he is mom’s Kinder) and packaging with multi-colored Skittles with wishes for a bright life.
  • When creating a poster for your beloved husband or boyfriend, you can choose a romantic design, decorations in the form of hearts and sweets such as Twix and Bounty bars.
  • For a present for a guy, you can also make a card on whatman paper in a more brutal style, placing on it not only sweets, but also “Die Hard” nuts, “Krasavchik” small juice, and “Mars” chocolate.

The number of design options for a poster is limited only by the available products suitable for creating a gift, and the imagination of the compiler.


What sweets are suitable for making a sweet poster?

To make a food poster, you need a variety of goodies, as long as they are packaged. Most often when making gifts they use:

  • juice in boxes (“Favorite”, “Handsome”, “My Family”);
  • chocolate bars (“Snickers”, “Mars” and others);
  • multi-colored dragees (“M&M’s”, “Skittles”);
  • glazed cheese curds;
  • instant coffee in portioned bags;
  • waffles or cookies, packaged in small packages;
  • nuts;
  • chewing gum (“Love is...” - for a loved one, “Orbit” - for a friend who is dazzling with her beauty);
  • candies.

Sometimes milkshakes, curd cheeses and other products that cannot be kept warm are used to create the composition. In this case, they are attached to the poster shortly before it is presented.


How to give a gift?

The method of presenting a sweet gift depends on the format of the celebration and the festive occasion itself. For example, if:

  1. The gift is intended for a loved one, it can be hung on the wall - such a surprise will surprise and lift your spirits when it is discovered by the recipient;
  2. The poster with sweets is planned to be presented in person, at an anniversary, wedding or other celebration, then the wishes written on it can be read out during a toast;
  3. There is no opportunity to personally congratulate a loved one and present him with a poster for his birthday or other holiday; they order courier delivery - the effect of surprise will enhance the impression of a poster with goodies.

A poster with candies is a universal gift that will definitely please the recipient. It can be done both for family and friends, as well as for friends or colleagues. When creating a poster with candies, show your imagination and then the recipient will remember the gift for a long time.

A birthday poster is a great way to give a celebration a special, personal atmosphere, to congratulate the birthday person in a beautiful and varied way, and to concentrate attention around the hero of the occasion. A birthday is a personal holiday and a poster is one of the best ways to emphasize this, to create a beautiful and unusual personal greeting, to do something that you cannot buy in a store or order online.

What materials will be needed?

Creating birthday posters with your own hands is not at all difficult - the maximum you need for this is:

  • paper – you can also use ordinary A4 sheets with templates printed on a printer, you can take whatman paper or a sheet of A3-A1 format, on which you can easily depict everything that your imagination has enough for;
  • drawing supplies: paints and brushes, colored pencils, felt-tip pens, cans of colored paint. Even options that already have an initial color template can be tinted and made more fun and interesting. If you use photographs of the birthday person (specially printed for these purposes), you can paint on a crown or wings or something else for him. Not a single wall newspaper poster can do without drawing tools;
  • stationery - tape for attaching paper to surfaces, glue for joining parts together or for gluing decorative ornaments, scissors for cutting out decorations and various additional decorative elements;
  • colored paper - plain colored paper, tissue paper, corrugated paper for making additional decorations. Flowers, hearts, ribbons, “bubbles” for writing congratulations, fringe for decorating photo frames - all this can be made from colored paper and you can greatly diversify the greeting poster;
  • additional decorations - confetti, sparkles, garlands, streamers, decorative stickers and figurines.

Using such a simple set of materials, you can create your own bright poster for the birthday of a loved one and contribute to the formation of a festive atmosphere. If you are still wondering, a poster from children will be an unforgettable surprise.

Photo posters - lively and original

One of the most popular ideas for birthday decorations is photo posters. It is necessary to place on the poster, in beautiful frames with additional wishes and congratulations, photographs of the birthday boy, his friends, relatives, various periods of his life, etc. Photos are a good way to introduce guests to the bright moments in the life of the hero of the occasion and remind him of the pleasant event.

Typically, a photo poster uses a ready-made template from the Internet with frames for pasting photographs and a ready-made background; you can also draw the background and frames yourself. In addition, for this option, congratulation poems written independently or found on the Internet, in collections, etc. may be useful. You can also put toasts, unusual wishes there, or add funny or thematic notes to the photo.

Options for adults

By creating, for example, birthday posters with your own hands with photographs of a friend, you can make an application from photos of the brightest moments that unite you, long interesting trips, images from work or school, especially funny moments, etc. Posters can be made in different forms, for example:

With wishes

Place on the poster photographs of the birthday boy in various situations: at work, at school, on vacation, at home, on a camping trip. Under each photo, leave free space in a beautiful frame, where interested guests will write wishes in accordance with the theme of the photo (higher salaries at work, prosperity and comfort in the family, the opportunity to catch the biggest catfish, etc.). Of all the variety, the poster will be an excellent addition to the main surprise and will become the highlight of the evening;

With humor

Place funny photos with the birthday boy and his friends on a bright background. Any option that can make the birthday boy and guests laugh will do, but it is better to do without offensive and black humor;

Retrospection

Attach photographs of the birthday boy, his friends and family to the poster (you can choose the setting of an old TV show or encyclopedia clippings for it). Images can be constructed according to the principle “from childhood to the present day,” and under the photo in frames indicate the dates and under what circumstances it was taken. Guests will be able to learn something new about the hero of the occasion, and he himself may want to talk about what is depicted on the poster.

Ideas for a children's photo poster

Making birthday posters with your own hands for a child’s 1st birthday is a great way to highlight an important event and introduce guests to how an important period in the baby’s life passed. When designing a children’s poster, it is worth considering several rules:

  • for young children (from 1 to 3 years old), it should not contain overly bright, acidic or sharply contrasting colors; you should stick to soft, pastel colors. The first step, the first tooth, the first walks are the most tender photos that will make any photo poster special
  • for children aged 4 to 9 years, it is worth paying attention to additional decorations - flowers, ribbons, stickers, sparkles, streamers. The poster should catch the eye. You can take the plot from your child’s favorite cartoon as a basis;
  • for older children - 10-12 years old, it is worth making a themed poster with their favorite characters.

Manufacturing methods may vary. A train is a popular and funny design option in the form of placing a photo of a child in a train and the cars that it pulls. Or a family tree - place a photo of the child, his parents and closest people on the poster.

Wall newspaper

Another popular option for designing a birthday poster is to make it in the style of a good old school wall newspaper. This poster should not contain templates or purchased decorations. Here you can place drawings, write down poems, congratulations, wishes for the birthday boy, it can be beautifully decorated around the edges - the main thing is to do everything with your own hands.

Thematic posters

Another great idea is a holiday themed poster. Poster in the style of a pirate card, with a photo of the birthday boy in a pirate costume and cocked hat. Poster with congratulations from forest animals or fairy-tale characters with poetic congratulations from Andersen or the Brothers Grimm. Poster in the style of your child’s favorite films, cartoons or comics.

A birthday poster should demonstrate that this is a holiday for a particular person, his best day of the year. In such conditions, creating a poster with your own hands is one of the best ways to emphasize the uniqueness of the event.

A poster with chocolates and handmade inscriptions is a great surprise that will delight both a child and an adult. There is a sweet tooth in each of us, and if you present familiar delicacies in an original way, then even the closest person will be amazed by the originality of the idea and the manifestation of care, attention and love. What is needed for this? Just 20-30 minutes and a little diligence.

How to make a poster

The design and content of the poster directly depends on who this poster will be presented to. What will you need? A large, clean piece of paper is the main background of the entire composition. It is desirable that it is not white. The base of the Whatman paper will remain blank in some places, so the white color of the poster will look inferior. It is best to use neutral pastel colors: beige, pink and purple.

If the poster is planned as a gift to a loved one, you can use a red or burgundy background. In addition to pure Whatman paper, a large photograph of the addressee or a thematic picture can play the role of background. If the recipient is an art lover, you can print out his favorite piece of art.

In this case, you need to make sure that the image has a high resolution and does not lose quality when transferred to paper. For your child, you can print out a sheet with his favorite cartoon characters.

The poster should be decorated with inscriptions. As inscriptions you can place wishes, jokes, compliments, quotes and poems. The inscriptions can be handwritten directly on the poster, or printed using a beautiful font. Printed inscriptions will look neat and presentable, while handwritten ones will emphasize a gentle and touching attitude towards the recipient.

For the handwritten version, you can use multi-colored markers and bright pens. It is good to indicate the date to which the poster will be dedicated. The recipient will keep such a gift and remember the day when it was presented.

The most important part of a chocolate surprise is the sweets. They need to be attached so that they do not fall off during the donation process; it is best to use PVA glue. You need to wear disposable cellophane gloves when working on the poster so as not to stain the background.

Rhinestones, decorative stones, sparkles, ribbons, voluminous and flat stickers are perfect as additional decorations. The only rule: the decor of the poster must match its style. Placing elements will not be difficult.

For small elements, use tweezers. For gluing decorative elements, it is best to use silicone glue. When hardened, it remains transparent, unlike PVA glue. It is better not to glue bows and ribbons from them, but to place them on the poster using double-sided tape or a stapler.

Chocolate sweets for poster

Sweets are the most significant part of this composition, the heart of the chocolate surprise. To ensure a perfect surprise, you need to use high-quality chocolate. Supermarket shelves are literally bursting with a variety of sweet goods. What should you choose here? On beautiful packaging and a high price? Neither packaging nor high price is a guarantee of real chocolate. You need to be able to distinguish chocolate from counterfeit chocolate.

First of all, you need to turn the tile over and find the “composition” heading. The composition of real dark chocolate includes only 3 elements:

  • cocoa butter;
  • cocoa beans;
  • sugar.

The composition of real milk and white chocolate includes 4 elements: cocoa butter, cocoa beans, sugar and cream (milk powder). It has been proven that chocolate with this composition is not only the most delicious, but also the healthiest.

Pay attention to how long the chocolate bar you hold in your hands can be stored. The shelf life of cocoa butter is only 6 months. If the shelf life of more than six months is indicated on the bar, the buyer is faced with synthetic chocolate.

The presence of GOST on all chocolate products does not guarantee the purchase of real chocolate, the criteria for which are set out above, but it is a guarantee that this product does not contain dangerous preservatives and harmful additives.

Following these simple rules will help you choose the “filling” for your homemade chocolate poster. The tastier the chocolate, the more pleasant the surprise will be. If the recipient has a specific chocolate preference, you can take advantage of this by displaying their favorite treats on the poster.

Along with chocolates, you can use lollipops, nuts, bars, dragees, and chewing gum. You can stick to one color scheme, or you can make the poster dazzling with a variety of colors and shades. If you attach several balloons filled with gel to the top edge, the gift will float.

It’s very easy to please your family and friends. By purchasing some sweets, a large sheet of paper, glue and decorative elements, as well as creating a unique composition, you have the opportunity to present a surprise that will be remembered for a lifetime.
