How to make it with nuts?
Bouquets using nuts, as well as dried fruits, are complemented with their own attributes. Without decoration, this is an ordinary set of products. The wrapper for nut bouquets can be decorated with feathers or a silk wrapper. The gift wrapper must be intact and without external defects. Products must match each other perfectly in color. Nuts are characterized by brown shades - both walnuts, hazelnuts, and peanuts have warm, “wooden” tones. You will need scissors, splinters, twine, possibly a needle and thread, cling film and foil. A basket will serve as an element of luxury.
You must be sure what the person likes and what he cannot do for medical reasons. Thus, hazelnuts are rich in protein, lower cholesterol levels, but are contraindicated for diabetics and people with liver diseases. Walnuts increase libido and lower blood pressure, and relieve anemia. Peanuts improve memory and attention, pistachios promote weight loss.
Cashews are good for vision, improve the functioning of the nervous system, and have a beneficial effect on the appearance of hair and nails. Almonds are useful for lovers of a healthy lifestyle, improve immunity and the functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Pine nuts improve stomach function. The food bouquet for a woman who values her beauty and does not want to lose it due to being overweight is composed mainly of dietary fruits and low-calorie sweets.
Additional food attributes include pretzels, crackers and other dry confectionery products. An intermediate option is sweets and slices of chocolate bars with raisins.
To easily stick into chocolate, wooden twigs must be heated to a temperature of no higher than 100 degrees.
Draw on paper a template according to which the bouquet is laid out. This could be a huge flower, an image of a vase, or another display that has symmetry. To create a bouquet of nuts, do the following.
- Place the walnuts on splinters and toothpicks. Each walnut has a soft, line-like outline, resembling a crevice where the wood material is not as hard as throughout the shell. Even such soft material as a sharpened match is inserted there, not to mention splinters. It is through the hole on this line that you can crack the nut, using even a penknife or kitchen knife with a bayonet point.
- Tie the resulting elements together using thread, twine or tape. A mini-bouquet is formed - the size of a bouquet of snowdrops.
- Decorate the resulting piece with a decorative wrapper, tying it at the bottom with a ribbon.
This option is the simplest. More complex bouquets are made differently: for example, tying is not required everywhere, but several elements are strung on one splinter. At the end, it is tied with decorative tape.
A bouquet of nuts with added viburnum can be made on a previously prepared base. The whole process looks step by step as follows. Glue the torches using any environmentally friendly glue or attach unshelled walnuts to plasticine. You can use hot melt glue. Arrange them alternately - as they would grow on a real branch. Form a frame from cardboard. Cover it with shell halves. Place the elements of the bouquet together and tie them from the bottom. Place viburnum sprigs into the empty spaces between the nuts. To make a bouquet of nuts and dried fruits, do the following.
- Place dried fruit slices on sticks or toothpicks, piercing them. Each stick can accommodate up to 10 slices.
- Prick walnuts onto the free ends of the sticks, using the same “weak spot” in each of them to pierce the fruit with a point.
- Having designed a dozen sets, fasten them at the bottom with tape or thread, folding them together.
- Place the formed set in film or a package of decorative paper.
- Tie the package from the bottom and decorate it using shells and glue - as in the previous example.
Empty spaces can be covered with greenery, for example, blue spruce branches - the bouquet will acquire additional attractiveness. In most cases, the greens are edible - from leeks to parsley.
