[carrots and Roses] --- Exquisite Plate Decoration

1. Prepare carrots and toothpicks. (Actually, only half of the carrot is enough in the picture)

2. Peel the carrot, slice it into thin slices, sprinkle a little salt and let it stand for a while to make it softer. (Softer and easier to operate)

3. The sliced carrot should be so transparent when picked up. (It is not easy to operate and not realistic when it is thicker)

4. Take a softened carrot slice and fold it in half.

5. Roll it up into a flower heart.

6. Use 2 toothpicks to fix them in a crisscross pattern.

7. Take another slice and fold it in half.

8. Wear two toothpicks spaced apart, and draw the distance between the toothpicks a little bit when you wear them.

9. Slowly wear to the heart of the flower.

10. Fold another piece in half and put it on next to each other.

11. Then put on the third piece.

12. Now, let’s pierce the whole piece, take a slice of carrot and pierce it in the middle.

13. Continue to take one piece and put it on the adjacent toothpick.

14. By analogy, one piece by piece is inserted next to each other, until they reach the size they want.

15. After wearing it, shape it slightly to make it look like a blooming rose.

16. Put it in clean water and soak it so that the carrots and roses will become firmer and more vivid when placed on a plate.

Tips:

Poetry heart phrase:



1: Because I want to take pictures by myself, I can’t operate with both hands. It’s not difficult to look at the pictures in detail. After each piece is inserted, it is worn adjacently, not on the opposite side. If the 4 tips of the toothpicks are divided into 1, 2, 3, 4, then the first piece is worn on 1, 2, the second piece is worn on 2, 3, and the third piece is worn on 3, 4. .



2: Carrot slices should be cut very thin and evenly, so that it is easier to handle.



3: Sprinkle a little salt on the cut carrot slices and let it stand for a while to soften the carrots, making it easier to make. (After sprinkling salt, don't grab it hard, so as not to scratch, the carrots will become soft by themselves)



4: Soak the finished flowers in clean water, so that the flowers will become firm and lifelike. If it doesn't break up, it can be left for three or four days.



5: When putting the plate on the table, cut off the excess toothpicks that are exposed.
