New Year is coming, and many people are already beginning to think about gifts. How to stand out from the crowd and present a non-trivial gift? It is worth paying attention to a bouquet of tangerines. This gift will delight both men and women, and, of course, children. Read how to make such an unusual gift below.
DIY bouquet of tangerines
How to make a beautiful and memorable gift? It is worth collecting a bouquet of tangerines. The easiest way is to combine orange fruits and roses. If the person for whom the bouquet is intended does not like roses, you can replace them with peony roses or gerberas. The main thing, collecting a monophonic composition, is to choose the right flowers.
And why should you make a bouquet exactly monochrome? In this case, you don’t have to think about a combination of colors and additional accents. It's simple: combine orange with green and get a nice gift.
To make it, you will need tangerines with branches. Such fruits are not sold in hypermarkets. Have to go to the market or the grocery warehouse. There, wholesalers bring tangerines on branches, they pick them off and deliver “bare” fruits to stores. If you bargain, you can buy a dozen branches of tangerines. But if you have not found a place where you can get such an exotic, do not worry. You can always attach tangerines to branches using wire.
So, we begin to make a bouquet. We take five roses or any other flowers and dilute them with 6 branches of tangerines. It turns out a voluminous bouquet without unnecessary trouble. We tie the whole thing with a ribbon in tone and give. You should not pack such a bouquet in cellophane, it will only lose from this.
Mandarin Brides Bouquet
Every year, wedding ceremonies are becoming more beautiful. Interesting decor and fancy accessories play an important role in this. And what about the bride’s bouquet? Fashion for him is changing rapidly. This year bouquets of tangerines and other fruits began to be popular. They do not have to be ordered from florists. Such a composition can be assembled on your own.
To do this, we need tangerines on branches, craspedia, roses and asters. Flowers can be picked up by others, as long as they match in color. We do the work in stages. First we collect a bouquet of asters and craspedia. Then gently complement the composition with roses. There can be few 3-5 of them, the emphasis will still not be on them. And then gently add tangerines on the branches to the bouquet. As color accents, you can add a few more unblown yellow dahlias or any other flowers with green heads.
Composition of tangerines on the table
Not only fruit bouquets look very interesting. Compositions of tangerines will also be an unforgettable gift. You can collect, for example, an interesting Christmas tree pyramid. First you need to prepare tangerines. We will decorate them with cloves. So, the fruits will not only look nice on the table, but will also emit an incredible aroma. We stick the cloves in the mandarin peel in a circle. We start to work from the center and gradually move to the edge. As a result, we get several circles on the peel of the fruit. You can also depict a spiral. In the same way you should lay out crosses, snowflakes, stripes and circles. In general, we include fantasy and create.
To whom it is difficult to independently come up with decoration patterns, we take an example from the picture. Tangerines are ready, now you need to add them. You can simply put them in a pyramid on a plate, but such a design would be non-transportable. Therefore, we take the foam base conical shape. With the help of toothpicks pin tangerines. And in the intervals between fruits for entourage, add branches of a Christmas tree and cones.
Composition of tangerines and spruce branches
In order to collect such a bouquet, you will need a basket or a wooden box. Compositions of flowers, berries and fruits are becoming more popular with every season. Perhaps soon we will forget about what bouquets are.
From tangerines and spruce branches you can collect an interesting gift. We take a basket and put a piece of foam there. Probably, there is no need to explain that the white rectangle should correspond to the dimensions of our capacity. We decorate tangerines with cloves, as in the last paragraph. Now we form a bouquet of fir branches and greenery. Here you can add berries, for example, black mountain ash or thorns, in general, what is at hand. Tangerines are added to the composition at the end. We try not to place two fruits side by side. We fix the tangerines in the foam or with the help of toothpicks or with the help of skewers. Optionally, you can dilute the composition with cones. Our modern bouquet of tangerines is ready. You can delight friends with a creative gift.
Tangerines and apples
To form a voluminous bouquet of fruits, we need a round or semicircular foam form. Our composition will consist of tangerines and apples. With the help of wooden skewers, we prick fruits on a foam circle. We wrap the composition in the newspaper. So it’s possible to add entourage, and save on packaging. In between fruit, you need to add greens. It can be something decorative, for example, foliage of an aspidistra or something that can then be used, for example, mint leaves. You can also decorate the bouquet with roses from dried mandarin peels. If desired, you can add fresh flowers.
Tangerines and Carrots
Collecting a bouquet of fruits, berries and vegetables is quite simple. How to make a bouquet of tangerines, carrots and hawthorn? As in the previous version of the fruit composition, we again need a foam ball. And again, with the help of wooden skewers we attach our vegetables and fruits to it. You can make a bouquet in tiers: tangerines, carrots and again tangerines.
As accents, we use orange roses. They will add a touch of elegance to our composition. Greens can be used functional, for example, sprigs of rosemary. The final touch is adding berries to the bouquet. It can be a wild rose, hawthorn or even mountain ash.
Tangerines and dried flowers
Well, we left the simplest option in the end. How to make a tangerine bouquet without bothering yourself much? Here we will not use a foam ball, although we still need a piece of this material. It can be of any shape. If you don’t have polystyrene on hand, a large sponge will do. We will collect the bouquet from tangerines and oranges.
Alternating fruits, put them on a sponge. Naturally, for this purpose we need skewers. The upper tangerines can be “undressed” a little, or you can decorate with cloves. As a decor we use any dried flowers that are in the house. You can even use dried spikelets of wheat. And if there are cotton inflorescences, then they can be floated, like cinnamon sticks. We pack our bouquet in plain paper. The original gift is ready.
