Learning to make pineapple from sweets and champagne: we prepare the necessary materials
To complete the composition we need:
- a bottle of champagne;
- sweets in yellow or golden wrappers with one flat side (in the form of a hemisphere or pyramid);
- green and yellow corrugated paper;
- double-sided tape;
- yellow satin or paper ribbon;
- transparent wrapping paper;
- brown or yellow sisal fiber;
- scissors.
Decoration of sweets
Want to learn how to make champagne and candy pineapple? Read further instructions. We unfold a roll of yellow corrugated paper and cut a rectangle of 20 centimeters wide. We fold it twice in half, so that a square is obtained. Cut the part along the fold lines. As a result, we have square blanks. On the flat side of the candy we attach a small piece of double-sided tape. Then glue the sweetness in the center of one paper blank. We make out all the candies in the same way. Now we fix the pieces of adhesive tape on the back of the squares. Sweet items are decorated.
Bottle decoration
We continue to perform the composition "Pineapple from champagne and sweets." We proceed to gluing the bottle with sweet blanks. We begin to do this from the bottom of the tank. On paper parts, remove the protective layer from the adhesive tape and fasten them close to each other in a circle. Thus we decorate the entire bottle, right up to the neck. Glue the candies tightly one next to the other, while twisting the edges of the paper squares.
Making greens
To make a pineapple from a bottle of champagne look realistic, you need to attach leaves. For these purposes we will use green corrugated paper. Cut a large rectangle and wrap it around the neck of the bottle in several layers. Next, we perform oblong-shaped leaves with a pointed one end. Using double-sided tape, we fasten these parts to the bottom edge. The inner leaves are placed close to the neck of the container, and the outer ones are slightly bent to the sides.
The final stage in the manufacture of the composition
The place where the last row of sweets ends and the foliage begins to fasten, we decorate with sisal fiber, wrapping it around the bottle.
From transparent wrapping paper we cut a large blank of a square shape. We spread it on the table, in the center we put our "pineapple". Turn the edges of the paper up and align. We bandage them with a ribbon, forming a package around the composition. We tie a beautiful bow. Champagne and candy pineapple is ready!
Caramels as a basis for composition
This product can be decorated with sweets of a different shape. In this part of the article we will tell you how to decorate a container with ordinary caramels. For work, we need a thin wire (floristic or plain). We will connect sweets with it. To do this, cut the wire into pieces of 5-6 centimeters. We twist the "tails" of two sweet elements. Then we fasten the third one to the second candy and so on. We form a chain of caramels. Its length should correspond to the circumference of the bottle along the bottom edge. When the sweet garland is ready, we attach it to the container. To do this, glue a strip of double-sided tape (in a circle) on the bottom of the bottle. Next, remove the second protective layer from it and catch sweets. In the same way, we carry out the second chain of sweets and fasten it. Thus, we decorate the bottle with caramel to the very top. We form foliage in the same way as described above.
