Food is a pleasant topic for many. Products run out pretty quickly, and only memories of delicious cakes and fruits remain. But you can make it so that they will always be in front of your eyes, and even decorate the interior. Don't believe me? Then find out how to achieve this.
How to make eclairs from plastic bottles?
See how delicious the cakes look. But do not forget to warn home and visiting guests that these eclairs cannot be eaten, they can only be admired.
To make the kind of sweetness that will always be in the house, take:
- 3 plastic bottles with a volume of 0.5 l;
- foil;
- salt;
- PVA glue;
- acrylic paints;
- Scotch;
- thin white foam rubber;
- Styrofoam;
- white fom;
- glue gun;
- brushes.
We will make two cakes at once. Cut off the necks of two bottles, cut the top of one with a fringe. This is necessary in order to insert this bottle into another. This will create a single piece with two bottoms.
Unfold the foil, put this blank on it, and next to it another, but a whole bottle without a lid. Wrap them in foil, put in the oven for two minutes. Homemade eclairs also need to be baked, but these blanks are placed in a hot place so that they become more pliable. When you take them out of the oven, press down on the top of the foil to make the bottles oval.
Cut the whole container in half, only the bottom part is needed. She will play the role of half a cake. A blank of two bottles at the junction must be glued with tape.
Pour PVA glue into a convenient container. Sprinkle salt on the board. Using a brush, grease the blank from a plastic bottle with glue, then roll it over the salt, which adheres well to this base.
Set these future eclairs aside to dry. After that, you need to brush off excess salt with your hands or a brush. Cut a small, tapered shape out of the foam. Lubricating it with silicone from a glue gun, glue a sheet of thin white foam here. You will need to wrap the styrofoam blank a couple of times.
At the same time, a strip of foam rubber will imitate the dough, and the foam will be the turned out inner white cream.
Now tuck this blank with the tapered part inward into the bottle. This part should fit tightly and well into it. Put the bottle on its side on the board, cut off the excess with a sharp knife to get a beautiful, even cut.
Now cover the surface of the cakes with yellow acrylic paint. To highlight the dough of the eclair halves with this color, apply it with a thin brush along the contour of the cut, painting over white foam rubber here.
Cut a rectangular blank out of white foamirant, round off the edges. Its shape is almost identical to the top view of the cake.
Glue this part with a glue gun, cut off the excess.
Now pour a generous amount of silicone here from your glue gun. To do this, prepare the silicone rods in advance so that they do not run out in the midst of the process.
Wait for this glue to dry before painting it over with brown acrylic paint to create a delicious glaze. The photo clearly shows how to make such an eclair.
In the same way, make the icing for the second cake, after which you can lay them on decorative dishes, but it is better to put them not on the table, but behind the glass in the cabinet. After all, these cakes are so similar to real ones, they look very appetizing, you need to make sure that someone does not want to try them "by the mouth".
If you need to bring a craft to the kindergarten competition, this will be an excellent way out. But also, the teacher should not lose vigilance so that the children cannot take such artificial sweetness.
The next craft also looks like a real one. Therefore, it is also necessary to warn everyone who will look at it that it is not edible.
How to make lemon at home?
For such a craft, take:
- small bottles;
- sharp knife;
- PVA glue;
- salt;
- acrylic paints;
- Scotch;
- thin brush.
See what drawing of the bottom should be for the taken plastic bottles. On the right is the container from which you will make slices and a slice of lemon.
From the bottom of the bottle, cut a piece about 7 cm high, you can vary this value as you like to make the lemon of the desired size. Cut its strips from above, the distance between which is 1 cm, their length is the same.
As in the first case, such a fringe will help to better put the second part of the bottle on this one. But downloaded from the second bottle, you need to cut off the bottom, the height of which is very small, about 1, 2 cm.
Match these two blanks, glue the junction with tape. Lubricate the surface of one and the second bottle with glue, sprinkle with salt.
In this case, the bottom, which is inserted into this container, does not need to be lubricated. To make lemon wedges, cut the bottoms of the plastic bottles so that they are about 1 cm or less in height. With PVA glue, you need to lubricate only their sidewalls, also sprinkle them with salt. While the glue dries, you can go about your business.
Then you need to remove the excess salt with your hands. If this is not done, then along with these grains the paint will fly around when you cover the surface of the fruit with it.
In order for the color of the final work to be the most vivid, it is better to first coat the surface with white acrylic paint, when it dries, use the one you need. This is how the blanks painted with white acrylic look elegant.
Now the skin of the lemons and its slices need to be painted with bright juicy yellow paint. To make the pulp have a realistic color, mix white, beige paint, add a little yellow. This composition should be applied with a thin brush to slices of lemons, but leave white streaks and a light edging.
When the paint dries, place the juicy lemon and its wedges on a platter. Let everyone who sees such beauty praise your golden pens and wonder what you can make such a bright realistic lemon out of a plastic bottle.

How to make vegetables and fruits: master class
We will make them out of papier-mâché. To do this, take:
- newspapers;
- PVA paste or glue;
- foil;
- Scotch;
- colored paper or corrugated or tissue paper.
If you are making this craft with your child, then show him how to make vegetables and fruits from similar materials. Let the children remember the newspaper with their own hands, give it the desired shape. Now you need to fix this paper with foil, and fix it with tape on top so that it does not unwind.
The next batch of newspaper sheets must also be kneaded well, then dipped in PVA or in glue prepared with your own hands. To do this, you can mix flour or starch with water, put on fire, bring to a boil with frequent stirring.
When such glue cools down, you need to dip newspapers into it, distribute them over the surface of the foil fruit. Lay out the workpieces on a tray, put them in a warm place, for example, under a radiator, to dry completely. Only then proceed with the design.
To do this, you need to generously grease colored, corrugated or tissue paper with paste or PVA, glue future fruits and vegetables with these blanks.

- When they are dry and dry, then carefully cut the paper layer of each fruit in the middle to remove the two halves of the frozen papier-mâché mass. To give them integrity, connect again, gluing the place of the cut.
- Further, such blanks are drawn up at their discretion. You can paste over them with colored paper or paint them.
If you want to make halves of an apple, then you do not need to glue its 2 pieces of paper, on the contrary, you need to fill them with a mass of newspaper or napkins mixed with glue. When the workpieces are dry, prime them with putty. After this mass has dried, it must be sanded, then covered with acrylic paints.
For this kind of work, you needed:
