Meet me. A stand for a microphone, a gun and a productive vegetable cutter. All from old syringes. It seems nothing special, but it can brighten up your life. A device for cutting salads can generally be patented, but as the author correctly noted, the wire needs to be built in thinner, or even a mesh of knives needs to be thought out.
Further from the author in machine translation.

Fabric use
You can make another pastry syringe with your own hands. It will be much easier to do this job with a photo. The device can be sewn from fabric. The material should be easy to wash. It is advisable to purchase white, as colored ones can shed. Dense teak is ideal, as it is durable, natural, and easy to disinfect at elevated temperatures.
You need to cut a triangle out of the material and sew 2 sides. The size of the product can be any, the main thing is that the required portion of cream fits into it. The top should be cut to the size of the attachments that will be used. Both purchased attachments and homemade ones are suitable for this.
The seams need to be turned up and hemmed. It is advisable to do the work on a sewing machine, because this way the product will be reliable. The device is ready to decorate the cake. It can be reused if washed and dried after each procedure.
Oilcloth
To create such a product you will need a triangle of oilcloth used on the farm. It is connected with wide tape to form a cone. The corner needs to be cut off so that the nozzle is secured in the hole. This simple device will be used for decorating cakes. Its only drawback is that such a bag is disposable.
Using any of these methods you will get a practical DIY pastry syringe. You can create beautiful cakes and pastries at home. To make decorating confectionery products easier, you should use the following tips:
- When using a bag, patterns should be made with the left hand, and with the right hand you should hold and squeeze it a little.
- You don’t need to immediately start creating complex landscapes; first you need to learn how to create something simple.
- Dots should be applied with a round nozzle.
- The stars are made with a figured nozzle.
- To prevent trembling from tension in your hand when working, use your left hand under your right hand as a support.
- When creating small patterns or inscriptions, the nozzle should be kept close to the baked goods.
Making cakes is an interesting activity. It is important to adhere to accuracy and caution. The modern confectionery industry is rich in a variety of decoration products. Store-bought products contain dyes, preservatives, and additives. If you learn how to make cakes yourself, you can enjoy delicious and healthy homemade baked goods. A handmade bag will help decorate your masterpieces, making them even more appetizing.
Housewives do not use pastry syringes to decorate cakes very often. Professional confectioners use them all the time, but at home, if you want to paint the surface of a baked cake, you may not have such a device in your kitchen arsenal.
Of course, you can decorate baked goods in other ways: ready-made flowers from mastic, candied fruits, powder and other interesting products, but you still want to have a cake celebration. In this case, you can make a pastry syringe with your own hands from scrap material.
Paper
A DIY paper syringe provides more options. The base can be pastry parchment. For thick paper, a shaped corner can be used as a nozzle. To get the product, you need to cut out a triangle and roll it into a cone.
There should be no gaps between the layers of paper, as cream can pass through them. Then you need to fix the edges on top, bending them towards the center. The bag should be filled to the top. Be sure to cut off a corner: the hole will serve to squeeze out the cream. The device can be used to decorate cakes.
Other ideas
- Nowadays it is quite easy to find any plastic container that is perfect as a confectionery syringe. For example, this could be a small bottle of oxidizing agent included in the paint. The tip of the nozzle must be cut off, the entire contents poured out, and then rinsed thoroughly. This will make an excellent analogue of a culinary syringe.
- The most ordinary (large) medical syringe may be suitable for decorating a cake. A new disposable syringe will do. The needle will make the most delicate lace patterns.
- In addition, you can attach the necessary attachment to the plastic bag using electrical tape.

How to make a pastry bag at home?
- You can sew a pastry bag from thick material for piping. It can be used more than once as it is washable. It is suitable for cream and dough. Or you can make a little bag out of parchment paper and cut off the sharp end. You can use it for cream, but it will be disposable. And if you cut it at different angles, you can make leaves or flowers in the form of roses from the cream.
Making a piping bag at home is not at all difficult. All you need is a whole bag and scissors. Fill the bag with cream and cut off the tip of the bag. The pastry bag is ready. Now you can use it to decorate anything.
Well, if it’s just for once, then I do it this way. I cut off a corner of a small, dense plastic bag (size by eye using samples). Then I cut squares from fairly thick, but not hard paper (for example, photo paper), from which I twist the tips. To keep them in place, you can drop a drop of glue, but where it will not come into contact with the cream. Or you can wrap it with threads and tie it. I cut off the beaks of these tips in the shape and size that I need. Insert these tips into a plastic bag, into the cut corner. Fill the bag with cream and create beauty. Sometimes, when I needed to do it quickly and a little, I simply rolled up little balls like for seeds from notebook sheets, again cutting off the curly corners in different ways. But such a bag is disposable - that's one thing, it quickly gets wet from the cream - that's two, it gets very wrinkled, including the shaped tip itself - it won't last for a long time - that's three. And if the cream is not thick and you need to make an inscription - I use a large medical syringe without a needle - it writes great!
There is nothing easier than taking any plastic bag and filling it with your product - dough, cream, etc. , and then cut off one of the corners of the bag. As you press on the bag, the dough or cream will come out to the desired thickness.
Disposable, simple and cheap
