Crafts from ranetki

With the onset of autumn, many fruits and vegetables ripen. Eating them in food, you get a lot of useful vitamins. And also interesting crafts are made of them. So, using ranetki, you can create unique compositions. Ripe juicy apples will be an excellent craft material for school or kindergarten.

Ranetki are apples whose diameter is less than 5 cm. They are often used to create simple crafts and complex compositions. Small apples can make an unusual caterpillar. It's easy to do, and the caterpillar itself turns out to be cute and funny.

Its base consists of several apples of the same size. For a craft, 5-6 pieces are usually enough, but you can take more depending on the length of the craft. The color of apples can be different, but it is preferable to stay on fruits of the same shade.

In addition to these fruits, to create crafts you need to take:

• carrots;
• toothpicks;
• cranberries;
• grapes;
• plasticine;
• threads.

To make a caterpillar, you need to follow a series of steps.

1. Choose an apple, make a head for a caterpillar out of it.
2. Prepare your legs for the future product. To do this, cut out circles from the carrots, taking into account that for each subsequent apple you need to take 2 circles. Their width should be about 1.5 cm.
3. You need to stick a toothpick into each piece of carrot, then attach 2 toothpicks to the fruits, placing them on the sides.
4. Using toothpicks, fasten all parts of the caterpillar. The tail on the last apple will protrude into the back of the craft.

At this stage, the torso is ready. It remains to finish the head for the figure. Caterpillar eyes can be cut out of colored paper or made from pieces of plasticine. For the nose, grape is used, which is also attached with a toothpick.It remains only to put your head on the body and decorate the craft. Cranberry beads, tree leaves, a hat or other decor are used as decorations. Just a few touches, and the caterpillar turns from a mischievous woman into a noble lady or a chic gentleman in a tie and top hat.

You can make an original decorative tree from ranetki. A topiary made from these mini-apples will look very unusual, such a craft will become the main decoration of any room or class at school.
