Making a bouquet of fruits and flowers
If you don't own any of these handicraft arts, don't be discouraged.
There are unusual gift options where you can express your creativity and create an extraordinary surprise. This may be, for example, a bright festive bouquet of fruit and spring flowers.
To do this is technically easy, if you have the desire, patience and a little practice. Fruit floristry is now at the peak of popularity. Such a gift will cause a lot of emotions from the addressee and will be a chic decoration for a festive table, which you can eat with pleasure if you wish.
We offer to make a bouquet in bright, sunny, orange-yellow tones, creating a great mood.
To do this you will need:
- wooden skewers not less than 30 cm high;
- food film;
- knife;
- scissors;
- cutting board;
- beautiful ribbon;
- technical rope;
- kraft paper (4 sheets of rectangular shape 50x50 cm).
Fruits:
- grapefruit - 1 pc .;
- Quince - 2 pcs .;
- yellow apples - 2 pcs .;
- tangerines - 5 pcs .;
- a bunch of mini-bananas of 8 or 10 pieces.
Flowers:
- several fluffy branches of mimosa 40–45 cm high
The amount of fruit can be reduced or increased according to your desire. Do not take a lot of fruits for the first time: the more components, the larger they are, the harder the bouquet will be and the harder it will be to work with it. Fruits can be replaced: instead of a quince, take apples, replace the grapefruit with a small pomelo.
Important! Fruits choose dense, immature, without defects. The color of the fruit should be juicy, saturated.
Training
We invent a composition:
- fruit wash and dry;
- lay them out beforehand as they will be in the bouquet, play with the composition;
- large single fruit is better placed in the center, the rest of the fruit placed around it;
- bananas will look good on the edges of the bouquet, opposite each other;
- Citrus fruits look beautiful in a cut - determine which fruits you want to cut to create a bright accent in a bouquet.
Making a frame
Insert fasteners:
- we put skewers into each fruit (2 pieces each);
- in a large grapefruit or pomelo it is better to insert 3 skewers;
- place them in the pulp at an angle, towards each other;
- stick skewers in order not to pierce the fruit;
- You can insert fastenings from any side, however you like;
- one fruit can be positioned with the bottom side up, and the other - sideways or tail;
- we divide a bunch of bananas into two (4–5 pieces each);
- In each banana we insert on the stick from the side of the tails.
Creative process
We make accents:
- gently cut the "ass" of fruit to open a beautiful "wheel" of pulp;
- do this with a central grapefruit and two mandarins;
- tightly close the cut-out place with plastic wrap so that the fruit does not give juice, does not become dusty and will not be weathered.
Putting composition:
- Take the central fruit by the sticks in one hand, and add the next element to it with the other hand;
- The bouquet collected in the spiral floral technique looks spectacular, but if you do not own it, then collect the bouquet as you like;
- turn the bouquet to see it from all sides;
- so that the skewers do not slip out of the hands, you need to make an intermediate stitch: put the bouquet on the table "head" down and pull the sticks in the center with a rope (ask the household to help you);
- if the bouquet is already heavy, continue the assembly on the table;
- add fruit by turning the bouquet and dressing it again;
- lift the composition and consider, correct carefully what is necessary;
- At the very end of the work, we place sprigs of mimosa along the perimeter of the bouquet so that they slightly rise above the fruit;
- make a strong final bouquet bouquet with a rope.
Beautiful packaging
Wrapped in kraft paper:
- put on the table 1 sheet of paper;
- we put our bouquet on him with our feet to hide them;
- if there are skewers that interfere, we cut them under the total length;
- lift the edges of the sheet up and form around the legs;
- we tie up the leg of the bouquet with a rope;
- The remaining 3 sheets of paper are folded diagonally, without connecting the ends;
- put the resulting triangles one on one with a shift on the table;
- we place a bouquet on the first leaf in the center;
- we wrap the first triangle around the bouquet and firmly hold it;
- turn the bouquet to the second side and twist to the second sheet;
- we perform the same operation with the third party and the last triangle;
- we take a ribbon and tightly bandage a bouquet with it, and then form a beautiful bow;
- A wonderful gift for the teacher is ready.
