Master Class
A classic simple step-by-step master class with clear photos - for you!
What do you need?
- A bottle of champagne. And already here you can start experimenting, because champagne is easily replaced with any wine that is similar in shape. If the future happy owner of this presentation loves, say, semi-sweet red wine, do not deny him this weakness.
- Sweets. It can be any candy with candy wrappers of brownish-golden color. It is best round in shape, so they will look more realistic. Take them a kilogram and a half. Even if something remains, you still use them for their intended purpose. Have sweets ever been superfluous?
- Glue gun.
- Scissors.
- Double sided tape.
- And green corrugated paper.
Put the glue gun to heat up, and in the meantime, take care of decorating the top of the pineapple.
To do this, take corrugated paper and carefully cut the leaves. They should be elongated on top and oblong. If you reproduce the fruit in memory or look at its picture, then the leaves will turn out to be as similar as possible.
Therefore, call for help reserves of memory.
Next, go to the bottle itself. Gently glue the neck of the bottle with thin strips of double-sided tape. And gently lay the pineapple leaves on top. Above is shorter, below is more authentic. On top of one layer of leaves, you can immediately apply a second. Just re-attach the tape and duplicate the previous procedure. This will help the leaves to consolidate better, and give the pineapple volume.
If you have a lot of free time and no less creative fervor, you can build up a "green mass" quite magnificent. For example, hide pineapple in leaves in four to five turns. Then it will look more presentable and interesting.
So, a start has been made. The shape of a clockwork pineapple is already being traced.
In the meantime, you have a hot glue gun. Now a pretty monotonous work is ahead, so get ready for this morally and tune in to the appropriate mood. You can turn on pleasant music so that the lesson is a joy.
Take one candy and use the pistol to bend the ponytails of the candy wrapper inwards, as shown in the picture.
Methodically, without rushing, singing your favorite song under your nose, repeat the manipulation for everyone else. It will take you a good hour, but the result is worth it.
Next, go to the main part. Grease the wrapped sweets with glue and, starting from the bottom, stick to the bottle.
When one row is ready, stick the second so that it is between the tops of the first. So you will be able to capture all the free dark space, and the pineapple will be harmonious, even, without "bald spots."
Thus, apply one row after another to the very top. When you get closer to the leaves, stick the candies directly on them. Voila! You did not have time to look back, and the pineapple is ready!
Now you can leave it so โnaturalโ, or you can still tie a fashion accessory on the side - an airy stylish bow. There is a little trick. If a work of art is intended as a gift to a man, then an elegant โbutterflyโ can flaunt on the side, as if hinting at belonging to the strong side of humanity.
