And even if you have never created such masterpieces, it's still worth a try.
First steps
To make such a craft from flowers and vegetables as “Pumpkin Vase” you will need: plants and favorite flowers, pumpkin, knife, plastic bottle, sandpaper, paint. So let's get started.
Pumpkin preparation
Choose the pumpkin of the required size, remove the contents from it, then dry it. But just make sure that it does not deteriorate. It should be dried with paper towels, which must be put inside, then covered with hairspray or a solution of water and glycerin. Using petroleum jelly, grease the pumpkin outside.

Cut a container of the right size from a plastic bottle and place in a pumpkin.
Cover the pumpkin with white (yellow, black, your choice) paint and rub with sandpaper.
Outside, a pumpkin can be decorated with improvised materials, which are full at home. For example: make patterns from beads, decorate with autumn leaves.
It remains only to pick flowers and place in your vase. Your first masterpiece will look very beautiful and will pleasantly surprise guests and relatives!
Vase will fall in love with everyone, leaving no one indifferent! And most importantly - its shelf life is not limited.
Daikon Daisies
There are compositions of flowers and vegetables that do not last long, but are simply mesmerized by their originality and beauty. For example, daikon daisies. Let's try to do it.
Take a baking dish and put on slices of daikon petals.
From the carrots we cut out the heart of the future flower, and from the toothpick we make a stalk.
We paint the flowers with blue dye.
For stalks we use celery. We clean it from the leaves and cut the twigs.
How to make flowers from vegetables ?
Anthurium. Take red pepper, make a heart. We make a hole in it in the center and insert the carrot pestle. Done!
The buds. We take radishes and with a knife we make shallow cuts (up to 1 cm deep), so we get whole rows of petals. Do not forget to raise them up. That turned out wonderful tender buds.
Orange flowers. In the carrot, we make 3 cuts directed to the center along the oblique, form the petals.
In the same way, we manufacture large-sized parts. We string everything on a toothpick. And now the orange flower is ready!
In conclusion
So, using the crop, you can learn how to make wonderful compositions of flowers and vegetables. Do it! The fantasy of man is limitless! And with each new craft, new original compositions of flowers and vegetables will appear.
