Here's how to creatively decorate your table for a lunch or party with sweets or chocolate using simple materials available at home!
Steps
Step 1. Cut the end of a straw down to the collapsible part
Make several cuts in the folding part as shown in the picture.
Step 2. With your fingernail, curl the pieces you cut outwards
Step 3. Wrap the cakes with aluminum foil or cling film as shown
Step 4. Open a napkin so you have only one layer
You may have to cut it to get the shape of a square.
Step 5. Fold the napkin following the procedure described below

Advice
- You can even make a bouquet to give as a gift.
- You can use different colors of napkins to get beautiful flowers.
- If you wrap the treats in tinfoil, the shimmer will make your artwork even more eye-catching.
- Instead of cutting the napkin yourself, you may find some that are already cut into the shape you want.
- Instead of inserting the candy, you could wet the flower with a scented oil and expose it in the room. It will smell good and have a relaxing effect.
- If you've caught a cold, wet the flower with eucalyptus essential oil and place it on the nightstand. It is very good for the respiratory tract.
- A good idea is to seal the end of the straw and fill it with an essential oil using a syringe. The scent will last longer.
Warnings
- Keep the flower away from moisture and heat sources.
- Do not ingest the inedible parts.
- Don't expose it for too long.
