Difficulties are caused by various aspects - there is not enough time to choose, the person is not familiar, everything you need is already available, lack of finances.

What do you need:
The sequence of assembling a bouquet of vegetables and fruits with your own hands:
Pairing sweet, juicy fruits with bland-tasting vegetables is a good idea. After all, a bouquet is a delight for the eyes, not a salad. They will eat it after. It is important to observe color and overall proportions. It is desirable to choose elements of a bouquet of similar sizes.

When creating bouquets in a seasonal theme, the color association and products characteristic of a particular season are taken as the basis.
How to make an autumn bouquet of flowers, vegetables and fruits:
The child will not be touched by the gift for a long time, he will want to eat it! If he has to wait for his mother to unpack and peel, all the excitement will instantly come to naught. This moment is worth paying attention to and creating a composition ready for use without lengthy ceremonies.
If everything is relatively simple with fruits, then vegetables can arouse suspicion. For example - what to do with onions? When choosing vegetables, think about which ones the child can eat right away. The simplest example is cucumber. Lettuce leaves will act as a decorating element, but you can also use them. Let's start creating.
How to collect a children's bouquet of vegetables and fruits as a gift:
When choosing a product for a bouquet, always give preference to solid! Soft, ripe fruits will not hold and fall apart in your hands before they reach the holiday.
Appearance is the key to success. Buy the most expensive and most beautiful apple. It's one thing, not a kilogram.
Sliced fruit can be coated with chocolate, fudge, or gelatin. This will create additional taste qualities and give the bouquet notes of sophistication.
Grapes are used to support large slices on skewers or to hide protruding tips.
In bouquets for adults, alcohol is injected into the grapes through a syringe to spice up the taste. Fruit slices can be soaked in wine, cognac or liquor, but not all, but only some.
Do not overdo it with decor - there should be no more flowers and lettuce leaves than the edible part.
When shopping for groceries, you don't have to fill a whole basket. If according to the plan there are 2 apples in the bouquet, take 3, in case of force majeure, but no more.
A bouquet of vegetables and fruits is a unique gift. It is appropriate for both adults and children, birthdays, name days, office holidays. It can be eaten overnight, or it can stand for the whole celebration. It has a lot of stylistic varieties and decorative elements.
A bouquet of fruits is an original decoration of the festive table, a delicious delicacy and an unusual gift, a worthy replacement for traditional flower arrangements. It is a picturesque bunch of beautifully cut fruits that match in shape and color. The bouquet can also use greens, sweets or toys if it is intended for a child. In addition, creating a fruit bouquet with your own hands is a very interesting activity that can turn into a hobby for the whole family if children are involved in culinary creativity. A bright and stylish dessert will surprise guests and decorate any feast.
Even a novice cook will easily understand how to make a fruit bouquet with their own hands if they use our instructions.
To create bouquets, you will need any and berries - for example, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, melon, grapes and all the fruits that you or the hero of the occasion like. Fruits should be beautiful, ripe, without spots and damage, and most importantly - not too juicy, otherwise the pieces will not stick to the skewers. Naturally, fruits need to be washed well, dried and peeled (if we are talking about pineapple and citrus fruits), seeds and stalks, so buy seedless grapes to facilitate the process. It's best to cut the fruit just before serving to prevent it from turning brown and keep it attractive, and if that's not possible, drizzle with lemon juice to keep the fruit's natural color. By the way, a banana darkens anyway, so it can be used in fruit bouquets only if it is glazed.
For better preservation and a pleasant gloss, pieces of fruit and berries can be dipped in an acidified gelatin solution of water, lemon juice, gelatin and a small amount of cognac. After freezing in the cold, you can make a second layer of jelly.
When stringing pieces of fruit on skewers, sharp tips are sometimes visible, which can be covered with halves of grapes. Grapes are also used to support large elements - such as pineapple flowers. If they slide down the skewer, they need to be strengthened with grapes by placing the berries under the "flowers". If you are preparing a bouquet for an adult, you can inject a few drops of alcohol into the grapes with a syringe - for piquancy and an unforgettable taste. Pieces of fruit are also sometimes soaked in wine or strong alcohol.
You can cut fruits beautifully with an ordinary knife, as well as with a slicer, a slicer for curly cutting vegetables and fruits, special graters, a Thai knife for cutting patterns and other carving tools. The stores sell universal and multifunctional sets, which contain a whole arsenal of knives for creating a relief ornament on fruits, as well as a variety of carvings for removing the core of fruits, stones and pulp from citrus fruits.
There are kitchen tools that help cut flowers, petals and animal figures from fruits - it all depends on the design idea of the chef. To work with pineapple, for example, metal molds with sharp edges are used to make cookies, and melon balls are formed with an ice cream scoop. Figured pieces of fruit are strung on long wooden skewers - one at a time or several pieces, depending on the fantasy.
Fruit bouquets are usually served in a wide and low vase or basket, in which a soft base is placed, where fruit skewers are stuck. It can be a piece of tight dough, a head of lettuce or an “oasis” for flowers, from which the base is cut out in the shape of a container. Such an "oasis" can be bought at any flower shop, the most important thing is to cover it with cling film so that this material does not come into contact with the edible elements of the composition. When composing fruit bouquets, you can do without a base, using tall vases and very long skewers.
If you decide to use a transparent vase, hide the unsightly dough or "oasis" at the bottom of the container by wrapping the base in a beautiful napkin. Grapes can be strung on the lower end of wooden skewers placed in a high transparent container, and then the bottom of the container can be left uncovered - the bouquet will look stylish and unusual. You can do it even easier - put a vase or glass on a napkin, lift its edges and tie a bright ribbon around the container.
To create fruit bouquets, vegetables, flowers, herbs, sweets, chocolate, cookies, toys, ribbons and bows are often used. Such compositions are created for wedding celebrations and other holidays. Often, chocolate icing is used, into which pieces of fruit are dipped on skewers, then they are dried in air using a special stand.
Before glazing, the berries can be soaked for 10 minutes in cognac or rum, roll in powdered sugar and only then dipped in chocolate icing. Try dipping part of the fruit in white chocolate, and the other part in dark chocolate, it will turn out very original. After dipping fruits and berries in the icing, they are often sprinkled with coconut, poppy seeds, chopped nuts or other powders, but this should be done immediately, before the icing has frozen.
A fruity bouquet turns out to be very beautiful, in which pieces of fruits and berries are decorated with patterns of chocolate, cream or fudge - such patterns can be made using a cornet, a paper cone-shaped tube.
When composing a bouquet, evenly alternate long and short skewers, different shapes and shades, so that the bouquet looks harmonious. The gaps between the elements of the bouquet and wooden skewers are covered with greenery, so the composition looks more natural.
A miniature fruit bouquet on one skewer looks very stylish to decorate cocktails, juices, compotes, jelly and fruit drinks.
At the master class on making fruit bouquets, you will see how simple and beautiful fruit bouquets are created, which are then arranged into a single composition. So, we will learn how to make a fruit bouquet with our own hands step by step.
For the bouquet you will need: large pineapple with greenish spots on the skin. Such fruits are denser and do not fall apart in a bouquet, round seedless grapes, strawberries, oranges, green and red apples, lemon for juice, grapefruit, lettuce, long wooden skewers for kebabs, flour, water, salt, vegetable oil for unleavened dough .
Tools: sharp knife, slicer, basket, long wooden skewers for skewers, cookie cutters or carving.
Instruction:
1. Wash the fruits well.
2. Knead a tight dough, similar in consistency to plasticine, so that the skewers hold steady in it. Let the dough rest a little under the towel.
3. Form a ball of dough and place it on the bottom of the basket.
4. Cut the pineapple into slices about 1.5 cm thick and cut flowers and hearts out of them with molds.
5. Put pineapple flowers on skewers paired with grapes, which will become the core of the flower.
6. Pierce pineapple hearts with skewers not across, but along.
7. Cut green and red apples with a knife or slicer, drizzle with lemon juice and put on skewers.
8. Prick 5-6 grapes on each skewer.
9. Cut the orange and grapefruit into slices and rings right in the peel and also put them on skewers.

11. Assemble the fruit composition by inserting skewers into the dough, while experimenting with their length.
12. Decorate the free space between the skewers with lettuce leaves.
Fruit carving bouquets are short-lived, so they will have to be eaten as quickly as possible, and this is usually not a problem, especially if there are many children in the house. And so that luxurious fruit compositions “survive” until tasting, after cooking, sprinkle them with ice water mixed with lemon juice.

Do you want to surprise your loved ones with an original bouquet of sweets, paper or tea? The article presents simple and affordable master classes for creating bouquets from improvised materials.
Bouquets of flowers have always been and will always be the most relevant and pleasant gift. They can be presented for any occasion: on a date, birthday, teachers and friends, at a wedding and just for any pleasant occasion. But it is not necessary that these were bouquets of fresh flowers. There are many options for bouquets of paper and sweets, soft toys and fruits.
Thanks to a riot of imagination and skill, you can come up with and make such a bouquet for any celebration. At the same time, such a bouquet will never wither and will delight its owner.
Many people prefer to give money for the holiday. But in order to give originality to such a gift, you can make a bouquet of fake banknotes and invest there the amount that you intend to give. Although if you are ready, then you can make the same bouquet from real bills.
For the creative process you will need:
To make petals, we wind the ends of the bills onto a skewer.
A paper tube that was prepared earlier or a wooden stick is wrapped with a bent banknote and fastened with an elastic band.
Other money is attached in the same way to make the most magnificent flower possible.
Now you can start forming the buds on the stem:
We take a skewer, wire or base from another artificial flower
We wind a piece of foam rubber on the end of our leg and blot it with glue so that it is securely attached to it. Inside the flower blank, you also need to grease it with glue without affecting the money. Until the glue has dried, you need to put a tube with a flower on the leg and let it dry.
To form the shape of a bouquet, you can use foam, insert sticks there and decorate with organza, beads, feathers and ribbons, or decorate a basket with them.
To prepare for the master class on making paper tulips and sweets, you need to prepare:
First of all, we attach each candy to the leg with adhesive tape. We put the candy on the leg and attach the skirt itself with tape along the entire length.
We fold each segment in half and twist in the middle. Fold the halves together, unfolding the paper and forming a voluminous petal.
We take a candy on a leg and fasten the petal with a white thread. We do this with each of the three blanks.
Then you need to cut green paper to get leaves. It turns out strips about 4 cm wide. We cut each of them into 4 segments and form the shape of a leaf with scissors. We attach the leaves to the petals so that they are slightly higher.
To close all the ugly attachment points, you need to cut strips of green paper and wrap them around the bud from the bottom to the very end of the stick.
Above, just above the bud, you can attach a leaf of the same color.
At the bottom we fix the paper with glue.
So you can make the number of flowers that was intended for the bouquet.
To decorate them, we wrap some of them in lilac organza.
To do this, cut it into squares 10 * 10 cm and fold in half diagonally.
We fasten the organza at the base of the bud with a stapler.
We do this with all the buds.
While holding the entire bouquet with your hand, wrap the entire stem with tape.
Then, on top of the adhesive tape, we hide all awkward places with teip tape and give the bouquets a finished look.
Wrap everything in floristic wrapping paper, turning the bouquet diagonally.
In the middle, tie with a ribbon of the desired color from organza. The bouquet is ready for congratulations.
Fruit bouquets are very relevant at any time of the year and will delight any woman not only with their beauty, but also with their original taste.
Suitable for creating a bouquet: pineapples, strawberries, grapes, kiwi, oranges.
The main thing is that the fruits are not overripe and dense. Also, those fruits that have the feature of changing color are not suitable. For example, apples or bananas.
You will also need molds for cutting fruit figures, skewers of different lengths, ribbons or chocolate, if necessary, foam and a basket.
Strawberries can be cut in half lengthwise and put on a skewer, dip in melted chocolate and sprinkle with coconut flakes, place in the cold to harden and then decorate the skewer with a ribbon.
Cut the pineapple with a flower-shaped mold and also string it on the legs. Place it between the skewers with strawberries.
Berries in the form of blueberries or grapes string several pieces like beads. And dilute the composition with them. Place the foam in the basket, attaching it to the bottom with glue and stick all the fruit sticks in turn making up the composition. You can add a ribbon bow or wrap it in a transparent film for flowers.
To completely surprise a woman, you can make a very extravagant bouquet of vegetables. Moreover, in view of the developing current of vegetarianism, for many this will be a very relevant and welcome gift.
For it we need:
Next, we collect our bouquet by planting each of the vegetables on a large barbecue skewer. We decorate the attachment point with a teip tape and wrapped it around the leg.
You need to collect using the spiral technique - first the largest vegetable and smaller ones are collected in a spiral around it. With lettuce leaves, periodically diluting the composition, we finish until all the vegetables run out. Wrap in craft paper and secure with ribbon.
For tea lovers, fragrant and healthy bouquets of both tea and sweets are suitable. For that. To make this table decoration you will need:
As a basis, you can take any circle made of cardboard, which can be decorated with craft paper or sisal. Next, glue the tea bags along the edges with glue. In the middle we glue sweets and artificial flowers. The bouquet is ready for tea!
To collect a bouquet similar to the previous one from coffee, you need to stock up on high-quality coffee in bags and decor.
We take corrugated paper and fold it in the form of a basket. We fill the basket with coffee bags and fasten with glue. The void between coffees can be filled with artificial or natural flowers.
You can dilute the decor with beads or ribbons. And finish by attaching a bow and wrapping in a transparent film.
Newspaper bouquets usually consist of paper roses. Which we will try today.
In order to make such roses, we need:
We string a bead onto a wire 30 cm long and twist it in the middle. From the newspaper in six layers, cut out several petals of different sizes. Templates can be downloaded from the Internet.
We wrap these petals around the bead and fix it with glue at the base.
We straighten the petals outward, giving volume.
The more petals are bent, the more realistic the rose looks. And so the whole bud is built from the smaller petals to the larger ones.
