Sweet fantasies: make a ship of sweets

At first glance, the title of the article sounds strange, right? How is it to make a ship out of sweets? It turns out that this is quite possible! Only some materials, fantasy and "crazy" pens are needed. And, of course, the sweets themselves. Naturally, chocolate - round, square, rectangular.

Blanks and preparation

To make the proposed ship of sweets, you will need:

• Boxes-substrates of foam plastic from under the products (the same sweets packed in a film, or cookies);
• Foam foam or rectangle foam;
• Wooden skewers or tubes for a cocktail;
• Sweets of different shapes (but not caramel);
• Scotch tape;
• A stapler with rivets;
• A tube of glue "Moment";
• Wrapping paper or foil.

How to make a ship of sweets: the process of making

So, let's get started. We wrap the packaging-substrate with smart wrapping paper, ideally with foil. In her side, you need to insert on both sides a few skewers - they will be attached to the side. Now the walls. They can be made from the same foil or paper. We measure the necessary amount of wrapping material, cut off and fasten the staples to the ends. We pull on the hull of the ship, with the help of skewers we give the desired shape. For fidelity we fix also scotch tape. If you want, you can decorate the sides of the ship at your own discretion, for example, as shown in the photo. The deck (it can be formed from a sponge or a piece of foam) is carefully glued to the substrate. To make the product look like a real ship, you can make a bowsprit - a long nose. For this purpose, the sweets "Strela" or the same skewers are perfect. From candy wrappers and foil (or any other suitable material) make sails, eye-to-eye estimating the appropriate dimensions. The number and shape of the sails depends on your desire. Plant sails on a cocktail tube or a long skewer. Here is our future ship of sweets and got a mast. We put them in the deck-sponge and fill it with glue. If desired, you can make portholes. Best of all, chocolate medals in gold or silver foil will suit them. You can attach them with a double-sided tape. Before us is almost a real ship! From candies we make a rim around the body (you can fix it with the same scotch). Beauty! Here are just a few sweets. But this business is fixable. Pour the candy on the deck and you will have a cargo ship. It would be nice to pick up 2-3 varieties of chocolates, so that the colors of the wrappers will harmonize. And what to do next? Naturally, to give your ship out of sweets to your son or daughter for a holiday or just for a good mood! However, such a miracle will not be shamefully presented as a souvenir to a teacher or educator.

Chocolate Flotilla

Suppose you do not have time to do crafts, or they do not turn out very carefully. What to do in this case? You can try to cast a ship out of sweets with your own hands. More precisely, from chocolate. Or finished tiles. The main thing is the appropriate molds. Of soft tin, they are also easy to make by hand. And then - the matter of technology. Melt the tiles of white and dark chocolate on a water bath. Smooth the cutting board with butter. So do with stencils. Then decompose the molds on the board and pour on them your "semi-finished". When the mass cools down, send the ditch to the refrigerator to completely freeze the product. In order to make figurines of two kinds of chocolate, wait until the first filling solidifies well, then add a second layer or decorate the details with the desired color. For example, the body can be brown or black, and sails - white. And if a white mass to mix food colors, for example, crimson or red shades, you get a brig with scarlet sails! Romantic, is not it? Of course, such a ship of sweets (or rather, chocolate) looks much easier, but you spent very little time preparing it, too. In any case, the kids will be delighted with such unusual sweetness.
