Second, the production method is revealed
(a) the required materials.
To make a fruit Christmas tree, you need to prepare the following materials: first, an apple, which is the base of the Christmas tree, should be round and full, so as to better support the whole Christmas tree. A carrot, choose a longer and straighter carrot as the trunk of the Christmas tree. All kinds of fruits are also essential, such as about 20 strawberries, which are brightly colored and usually used as important decorations for Christmas trees; There are about 100 blueberries, which are small and exquisite and can be used to fill gaps; There are about 30 cherry tomatoes with rich colors, which can add a lot of colors to the Christmas tree; There are about 20 kumquats, and the kumquats are golden, which means good luck; A banana, which can be decorated as needed; In addition, you can also prepare kiwifruit, pitaya and other fruits, and match them according to your personal preferences. Finally, we need to prepare some toothpicks to fix the fruit.
(2) Interpretation of detailed steps
Preparation: Wash the fruit and get it ready. This step seems simple, but it is very important. For example, strawberries can be soaked in light salt water for a while during cleaning to remove impurities and pesticide residues on the surface. Blueberries can be washed gently with clear water, and be careful not to rub them hard to avoid damaging the fruit. Fruits such as cherry tomatoes and kumquat can also be washed with clean water. Apples and carrots are processed into appropriate shapes. Apples are cut off and left in the middle. You can dig a hole in the middle or link carrots with toothpicks. Stick a toothpick on the carrot, half a toothpick is enough, and cut one end of the carrot into a plane to better fix it on the apple.
Fixing body: Fix carrots on apples with toothpicks as the main body of the Christmas tree. Pay attention to firmness when fixing to ensure that carrots will not loosen. You can insert a few toothpicks on the apple, and then insert carrots on the toothpicks, which can increase stability.
Decoration process: insert fruits from bottom to top in turn, pay attention to color matching and layering. First, you can insert some large fruits, such as strawberries and kumquat, at the bottom, and then insert small fruits, such as blueberries and cherry tomatoes, at the top. In the process of decoration, we should pay attention to the color matching, such as red strawberries, yellow kumquat, green kiwifruit, etc., which can be mixed together in a patchwork way to increase the beauty of the Christmas tree. At the same time, pay attention to the layering, don't let the fruits pile up together, and make the Christmas tree look more three-dimensional. You can insert the fruit layer by layer, and the fruit on each layer can be slightly staggered, which can create a layered feeling. Finally, you can put a five-pointed star-shaped fruit on the top of the Christmas tree, such as carambola or a five-pointed star cut with papaya, as the decoration of the Christmas tree.
Third, creative decoration adds elegance
(A) the clever use of fruit for decoration
Carambola is an excellent choice for making star decorations. The unique shape of carambola can be turned into a shining star with a little treatment. Cut the carambola into proper thickness to make it appear the shape of a five-pointed star. You can choose a more brightly colored carambola, which will make the stars more eye-catching. For example, choose the carambola with moderate maturity, its color is yellow-green, and the outline of the five-pointed star is clear, which is very suitable for the top decoration of the Christmas tree. It is understood that it takes about a medium-sized carambola to make a beautiful star decoration.
Lemons can also be used to make ribbon decorations. Cut the lemon into thin slices, and then string the lemon slices together with a toothpick to form a long "ribbon". You can put this lemon "ribbon" around the fruit Christmas tree to increase the festive atmosphere. Generally speaking, it takes 3-4 lemons to make a "ribbon" of sufficient length. At the same time, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on the lemon slices according to your personal preference to make them look more crystal clear.
(B) hand-made small decorations to add color
Folding stars with paper is also a good choice. You can prepare some colored handmade paper and fold it into the shape of a star according to a specific method. Then paper stars are hung on the fruit Christmas tree with thin threads or ribbons to add a warm atmosphere to the Christmas tree. For example, you can choose red, green, gold and other colors related to Christmas to make stars of different sizes. It takes about 10-15 pieces of handmade paper to make enough paper stars for decoration.
Making Christmas tree ornaments with scraps can also add a different style to the Christmas table. For example, the leftover fruit scraps from making a fruit Christmas tree, such as strawberry stalks and blueberry branches, are collected. You can use these scraps to make some small Christmas tree ornaments. For example, arrange strawberry stalks in the shape of a Christmas tree and fix them with toothpicks; Or cut blueberry branches into appropriate lengths to make mini Christmas trees. These small ornaments can be placed in every corner of the dining table, echoing with the fruit Christmas tree, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
Fourth, the aesthetic skills are broadcast.
(A) fruit selection is exquisite
Choosing colorful fruits is one of the keys to making beautiful fruit Christmas trees. Fruits with different colors can add rich visual effects to the Christmas tree. For example, you can choose red strawberries, cherries, green kiwis, blueberries, yellow bananas, mangoes, purple grapes and so on. The colors of these fruits set off each other, making the Christmas tree more colorful.
At the same time, the size of the fruit also needs to be appropriate. Larger fruit can be used as the bottom decoration of Christmas tree to increase stability and three-dimensional sense. For example, placing larger fruits such as oranges and pitaya at the bottom can not only play a supporting role, but also add a heavy feeling to the Christmas tree. Smaller fruits, such as blueberries and raspberries, can be used to fill the gaps and make the Christmas tree look fuller. According to statistics, in a beautiful fruit Christmas tree, the proportion of three different sizes of fruits is about 3:4:3.
(B) the placement skills are exquisite
The fruit should be placed in a patchwork way to avoid color concentration. When placing fruits, you can first determine a main color tone, and then choose other colors of fruits to match around the main color tone. For example, if red is the main color, it can be matched with green fruits to create a contrast effect. At the same time, we should pay attention to the placement of fruits. We should not concentrate the fruits of the same color together, but disperse them to make the color of the Christmas tree more uniform.
You can use the method of layered placement to place fruits of different colors in layers, and use some small fruits for transition between each layer. For example, put red strawberries on the ground floor first, then green kiwis on the second floor, then yellow bananas on the third floor, and so on. The placement of each layer of fruit should be slightly staggered, which can create a sense of hierarchy.
In addition, some green leafy vegetables, such as broccoli and lettuce, can be inserted between fruits to increase the naturalness of the Christmas tree. These green leafy vegetables can not only play a decorative role, but also make the fruit Christmas tree more fresh and beautiful. Generally speaking, each fruit Christmas tree needs about 1-2 broccoli or appropriate lettuce leaves.
Fifth, the moral beauty of fruit Christmas tree
The fruit Christmas tree is not only a delicacy, but also a symbol, bearing the meaning of beauty and reunion, adding a strong atmosphere to the festival.
The fruit Christmas tree symbolizes a happy reunion. In festivals, families sit around to make fruit Christmas trees, choose their favorite fruits and decorate them carefully. This process is full of warmth and joy. When the finished fruit Christmas tree is placed on the dining table, it is like a work of art that embodies family feelings and symbolizes family reunion. Just as natural Christmas trees include cedar, European fir, Caucasian fir and spruce, fruit Christmas trees are also composed of various fruits, which together constitute a complete whole, implying the integrity and harmony of the family.
It also represents the everlasting friendship. If we make a fruit Christmas tree together when friends get together, we can communicate and cooperate with each other to create beautiful works together. This is not only an interesting activity, but also a witness of friendship. Just as you can write greetings on the Christmas tree to your friends, the fruit Christmas tree has become a carrier of friendship, symbolizing that the deep friendship between friends will never fade.
The fruit Christmas tree also means gratitude. At this special moment of Christmas, I will give my parents a fruit Christmas tree made by myself to express my gratitude for their parenting. Every fruit represents a gratitude, just as the gift on the Christmas tree symbolizes redemption as a gift from God, so the gift on the fruit Christmas tree symbolizes love and gratitude to parents. It wishes parents good health and reminds us to cherish the people around us and be grateful for their efforts.
In addition, the fruits of the fruit Christmas tree also have different meanings. For example, strawberries symbolize sweetness and happiness, blueberries symbolize tranquility and profundity, and bananas symbolize happiness and vitality. The meanings of these fruits are integrated with each other, which endows the fruit Christmas tree with richer connotations.
In a word, the fruit Christmas tree has become an indispensable part of the festival with its unique moral beauty. It not only brings us the enjoyment of sight and taste, but also makes us feel the power of beauty, reunion, friendship and gratitude at this special moment.
