Proper care of a real flower toy

Flower toys bring great joy to their owners, but they are made from a very short-lived material. Flowers, unfortunately, fade very quickly and the figurine has to be thrown away.

But you can prolong its life by providing the little animal with the right care.

Do not leave it in a draft - the petals will dry out very quickly and will look unpresentable. Such figurinesthey do not like and are afraid of direct sunlight, which is very destructive for them. Find a bright, draft-free space.

And yet, the main thing in this business is watering. Do not forget to soak the sponge with water from time to time. This can be done with a syringe. Take out one flower and pump water into this place with a syringe. So it is necessary to water all parts of the toy - then it will be fresh for about four weeks.

How to make a hedgehog out of artificial flowers and candy

This craft does not require special skills, and it will please no less than the one described above! For this job you need:

• A piece of Styrofoam.
• Foil.
• Corrugated brown and pink paper.
• 46-50 round shaped chocolates.
• Pack of toothpicks.
• Glue gun.
• 3 beads.
• Several artificial apples, mushrooms.

We start by cutting out an oval figure with a size of approximately 2015 cm from a piece of foam plastic. Trim the bottom to give stability to the hedgehog of flowers. Make one end of the oval in the form of a muzzle. Stick light brown paper on the muzzle and body. Use beads to make eyes and a nose.

To make flowers with sweets, you need to wrap each candy in pink paper petals and stick a toothpick from the bottom, into the flat part.

This is how we prepare all the sweets. At the end of this process, start sticking toothpicks into the foam, stepping back about twocentimeters from the eyes. Do not allow gaps between candy flowers, for this they need to be slightly shifted in relation to the previous row.

Use the glue gun to attach the fake fruit to the back of the hedgehog. The finished hedgehog can be planted in a flat basket and decorated with spruce branches.
