Having cut out a neat foam heart with a clerical knife, you can continue to make a heart out of sweets. Photos depicting all stages of the workflow will definitely help with this!
First of all, the foam heart will need to be wrapped with a thin red cloth or sufficiently strong wrapping paper.
We glue the edges so that the wrapper does not slip on the foam. You can fix them with adhesive tape or safety pins. It is even more convenient to use narrow double-sided tape.
We take a red mesh and string it on a thin rubber band or thread, slightly picking it up.
We fix this frill on a foam heart with double-sided tape.
In the same way, we string a thin white fabric or mesh.
Using the same double-sided tape, we attach it over the red mesh so that the edge protrudes a little.
From above we tie a beautiful satin ribbon, tie its ends into a lush bow. To prevent the tape from slipping, we also fix it with double-sided tape.
We have just a wonderful basis for the future!
Now we are picking up delicious sweets in the most colorful wrappers and start attaching them to the surface of the heart. We use ordinary double-sided tape for this.
First we attach sweets along the edge of the heart. If the sweets are small and the heart is large, then lay out the next row. If the candies are large enough, one row may be enough. The middle must remain free.
We cut out two miniature hearts from foam or wood, paint them red.
These valentine hearts will complement our candy composition. You can use regular cardboard valentines instead. good wishes and tender declarations of love.

The execution of the heart with the help of such a base as polystyrene has a very noble and dignified look. Such a heart is suitable for a gift for a special occasion. To perform, you will need a blank made of cardboard, but before cutting it out, it is worth adding the size of the side throughout the volume.
Therefore, first you should decide on the size of the heart itself and cut it out of foam. Then add the width to the contour line on the cardboard, but it's still worth adding the width of the rim.
If you want to make a tall and voluminous heart, and the width of the foam is small, you can make two or even three layers. The foam is very well attached to each other, so no one will notice this little thing. But this should be taken into account when cutting and measuring cardboard.
The next step is to fasten the two parts, corrugated paper is suitable for this. A side is made from cardboard, wrapping the foam, and everything is tightly closed with paper.
Often such bases are filled not only with sweets, you can use flowers for decoration. Various decorative elements are easily attached to the foam using skewers or toothpicks. If the heart is large, you can use large elements for decoration, the heart will look amazing.

Let's make our first, central rose, it will be the most beautiful and original, consisting of petals different color from lightest to darkest.
1. Take a candy. If its structure is rather soft, then fold the foil in several layers on its bottom. So the skewer will not pierce the sweetness.
2. With a piece of foil (about 15 cm x 15 cm in size), wrap the candy and the skewer.
3. Wrap the edges of the foil and skewers with tape so that the skewer is firmly connected to the candy.
4. Cut several rectangles from paper: one light pink 10 cm x 7 cm and 3-4 pieces of other colors 7 cm x 3 cm in size. Please note: you need to cut the paper parallel to the embossing lines.

7. First wrap a light pink wide blank around the candy, then hot pink, scarlet and dark red, forming a rose bud. Fix the result with a thread. If it is difficult to form a flower from all the petals at once, then you can tie each of them in stages.
8. Cut out a sepal from emerald paper. Stretch each leaf, pull them out with a toothpick, shape them.
9. Wrap the sepal around the bud, tie with a thread. The central rose is ready.

16. It's time to start assembling the bouquet. Stick double-sided thin tape on the foam heart.
17. Glue green paper to the adhesive tape, make cuts in the middle.
18. Stick double-sided tape on the side of the heart.
19. Glue the paper to it, bending it around the edges.
20. In the recess of the workpiece, it is necessary to glue a piece of paper. In the same way, "put" it on the tape.
21. Cut the paper around the edges, leaving a margin of about 5 cm from the edge of the heart. With a toothpick or skewer, beautifully turn the edges out.
22. Again stick double-sided tape on the sides of the workpiece and “plant” the red tape on it.
23. It's time to insert the buds. Use scissors to cut off the excess paper near the base of the flowers.
24. Cut off the skewer, leaving only 1–1.5 cm. If your heart blank is thicker, then you can leave it longer.
25. Before attaching the flowers, make a small preliminary hole with a toothpick. This will make it easier to insert the cut skewer.
26. We form a bouquet. First of all, insert the central rose.
27. Then, on the sides of it, we fix rose buds and decorative elements.
28. After that, we insert red roses along the edges of the heart.
29. When all the flowers are fixed, pull the paper a little at the base of the heart with gold thread, tying a beautiful bow.
