There are unusual gift options where you can show your creativity and create an unusual surprise. It can be, for example, a bright festive bouquet of fruits and spring flowers.

It is technically easy to do this if you have the desire, patience and a little practice. Fruit floristry is now at its peak. Such a present will cause a lot of emotions at the addressee and will become a chic decoration of the festive table, which you can eat with pleasure if you wish.

We propose to make a bouquet in bright, sunny, orange-yellow tones, creating an excellent mood.

To do this, you will need:

• wooden skewers at least 30 cm high;
• cling 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 number of fruits can be reduced or increased as you wish. Do not take many fruits for the first time: the more components, the larger they are, the heavier the bouquet will be and the more difficult it is to work with it. Fruits can be replaced: instead of quince, take apples, replace the grapefruit with a small pomelo.

We come up with the composition:

• wash and dry the fruit;
• lay them out in advance as they will be in the bouquet, play with the composition;
• a large single fruit is better located in the center, the remaining fruits should be placed around it;
• bananas will look good along the edges of the bouquet, opposite each other;
• citrus fruits look beautiful in the context - determine which fruits you want to cut to create a bright accent in the bouquet.

We insert fasteners:

• insert skewers into each fruit (2 pieces);
• in a large grapefruit or pomelo it is better to insert 3 skewers;
• we place them in the pulp at an angle towards each other;
• stick the skewers carefully so as not to pierce the fruit;
• You can insert mounts on either side, as you like;
• one fruit can be placed with the bottom side up, and the other with a side or tail;
• a bunch of bananas is divided into two (4-5 pieces each);
• in each banana insert a stick on the side of the tails.

We emphasize:

• carefully cut off the “ass” of fruit to open the beautiful “wheel” of pulp;
• do this with a central grapefruit and two tangerines;
• tightly close the cut place with cling film so that the fruit does not give juice, does not become dusty, and does not wind.

Putting the composition together:

• take the central fruit by the sticks in one hand, and with the other hand add the next element to it;
• the bouquet assembled in a spiral floristic technique looks spectacular, but if you do not own it, then collect the bouquet in the way that suits you;
• turn the bouquet to see it from all sides;
• so that the skewers do not slip out of your hands, you need to make an intermediate tie: put the bouquet on the table with your 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 assembly on the table;
• add fruit by turning the bouquet and dressing it again;
• lift the composition and examine, carefully correct what is necessary;
• along the perimeter of the bouquet at the very end of the work we lay the branches of mimosa so that they slightly rise above the fruits;
• make a strong final coupler of the bouquet with a rope.

Wrap in kraft paper:

• put 1 sheet of paper on the table;
• we put our bouquet on it with legs to hide them;
• if there are skewers that interfere, cut them to the total length;
• lift the edges of the sheet up and form around the legs;
• we tie the leg of the bouquet with a rope;
• turn the remaining 3 sheets of paper diagonally without connecting the ends;
• on the table we put the resulting triangles one on one with a shift;
• we place the bouquet on the first sheet in the center;
• wrap the first triangle around the bouquet and hold tight;
• turn the bouquet on the second side and twist in the second sheet;
• do the same operation with the third side and the last triangle;
• we take a ribbon and tightly bandage the bouquet with it, and then form a beautiful bow;
• A wonderful gift for the teacher is ready.
