For the anniversary      06.08.2023

Country flowers are on the school line. Making a beautiful bouquet

There are only a few days of vacation left. Notebooks and briefcases have already been purchased, the most elegant blouses and shirts are being ironed, summer reading diaries are being urgently completed... And, of course, both parents and children are thinking about the beautiful bouquets with which probably almost all students in the country traditionally go to school.

"Many mothers want to do it with their own hands, or better yet, together with their child. We invite you to get acquainted with different ideas for decorating a school bouquet .

Experts advise taking into account a few simple rules when composing or choosing a bouquet:

  • The bouquet should not weigh more than 1 kg.
  • It is better to give preference to round, not too long bouquets, especially if the student is still short in stature.
  • Flowers should be bright enough, because this is a children's party!
  • The bouquet should not smell too strong.
  • The child himself should like the flowers; be sure to ask his opinion.

The basis of “home” bouquets most often are seasonal flowers: asters, chrysanthemums, gerberas. Of course, roses and gladioli are not forgotten (although the latter are not so popular now, but more on that below). But even modest garden flowers are great for a variety of combinations.

In addition, the bouquet can be supplemented with something that is now growing in the forest and field: rowan, especially abundant this year; sunflowers, bunches of viburnum, spikelets with grains, small apples, leaves of different trees... in short, there are a lot of options!

First, let's talk about only “natural” compositions.

Here, for example, is the bouquet based on gerberas that author Olga Kotkova offers on our website:

By the way, rowan can also be chokeberry, this will add an unusual note to the bouquet:

Ripe ears of corn gently complement the composition, reminiscent of the end of summer:

Modest, but so cute and uncomplicated bouquet based on asters and daisies. You probably won’t find these colors in stores and salons:

And here comes the gladiolus! Its great length and heaviness are unnoticeable here: only one flower is selected, with smaller “neighbors” shading it:

It has already become a tradition to include various school supplies in various bouquets.

The undisputed leader in this for several years now has been... pencils! A variety of combinations are possible here.

And here is a short master class, a stand for a bouquet of multi-colored threads based on PVA glue:

A very popular option is with a round frame stand. Typically the frame is made of cardboard, often wrapped in sisal. The berries look laid out “on a dish”; in the last version the letters are interestingly used:

You can make an original and simple bouquet using literally available materials - leaves of house plants, ordinary ballpoint pens and notebook sheets:

You can also add rulers as decoration, or you can add apples - whatever you have enough imagination and desire for!

In addition to pencils, you can take a variety of school attributes: a sharpener, a small globe, a square, a palette, even a small set of paints. Here are several options for such bouquets:

And here an unusual “decoration” of a boy’s bouquet was... a spring! The bouquet itself is made using a cardboard frame, reinforced with wire and decorated with wrapping paper. The pencils here are sawn into pieces.

Good day, friends! Some parents prefer to approach the issue of choosing a bouquet in an extraordinary way, making original versions of gift arrangements themselves or turning to the services of specialized salons. Others are not averse to presenting a nice bouquet for September 1 from flowers grown independently in their summer cottage. But each of them tries to make this fragrant and pleasing to the eye symbolic gift in the hands of their child look both original and harmonious.

Knowledge Day is just around the corner, when thousands of smartly dressed first-graders from all over the country will hear their first bell at the formal school assembly. An invariable attribute of this holiday for every little schoolchild is a bouquet of flowers intended for their future teacher, with whom they will enter the school year.

Bouquet for September 1st for a first grader: which one should go with to the ceremony

There are a lot of interesting ideas on how to make this or that bouquet. And there are an incredible variety of options for the bouquets themselves. I propose to consider the most interesting ideas, after which you will definitely decide what kind of bouquet your child will have on September 1st.

Original bouquets

Sometimes very original solutions take the place of the classics in bouquet design. Here are just a few of them.

  • How do you like the idea of ​​a small, modest flower in a black pot, the surface of which can be used as a blackboard? Together with your child, you can write wishes to the teacher or kind words addressed to the teacher on it.
  • Or you can show off on the school line with a globe, not a simple one, but a voluminous one, made of large or small flowers.
  • You can please the teacher not only with the sight of beautiful flowers, but also with goodies. For such occasions, there are bouquets of sweets, gingerbread or tea.
  • It is also appropriate to use various additional items in the decor of gift compositions. For example, you can create a bouquet of balloons or toys, complement the design with stationery (for example, pencils), or build a beautiful structure with your own hands from cardboard, colored paper and ribbons.
  • Another of the unusual ideas is a beautiful transparent jar as a vase, with toy plastic letters on the bottom, complemented by simple flowers such as asters or daisies.
  • A wonderful sentimental gift for the class teacher would be a bouquet in a decorative flowerpot of homemade mini-flowers with photographs of all his students, boys and girls, which will long remind him of his favorite class even years later.

Bouquets of pencils

Interesting bouquets are obtained by using a combination of flowers and pencils. There are several options for this design.

  1. In the first case, pencils or felt-tip pens are used to make an improvised bright vase (or rather, its likeness), into which the flowers are placed directly.
  2. The second option involves a composition that combines, in addition to flowers, the same pencils, as well as other small stationery, which give the bouquet a typically “school” character. This design of stationery is perfect as a gift not only for September 1, but also for Teacher's Day.

Gift for a male teacher

Although male teachers are often given the same bouquets as their female colleagues, if necessary, it is quite possible to subtly emphasize the gender nature of the gift. To do this, in the design of a “male” bouquet, emphasis is placed on the dark design of the packaging, and cereal plants are used instead of traditional varieties of flowers.

An armful of gingerbread

One of the varieties of sweet compositions can be a bouquet of gingerbread cookies, which looks very unusual and will certainly delight everyone with its taste.

To implement this idea, you will need several gingerbread cookies, which you can order from a pastry shop or prepare and decorate yourself. To form a gift, you will need skewers or special sticks inserted into each gingerbread. A bunch of finished gingerbread cookies are tied with a beautiful ribbon and decorated to your liking with additional materials.

Bouquet of sweets

Such a sweet, homemade gift will delight the recipient not only with its creative design, but will also allow him to enjoy the taste of such an elaborate dessert. There are no limits to your imagination when creating a bouquet of sweets, so the end result can be a real masterpiece.

Let's quickly evaluate the most popular ideas. To bring them to life, it is best to use chocolates in a bright foil wrapper. You will also need special skewers and corrugated paper for decoration. In some cases, ribbons, organza and other little things will not hurt to create various props.

Let's take a closer look at several master classes on making candy bouquets:

  • A pineapple. To make it, you need to cut a plastic bottle into two parts, insert the lower part inside the upper one, cutting off the excess from the lower one. The resulting shape is pasted over in even rows of round candies, the leaves are made from corrugated paper.

  • Candy tulips. Each candy is wrapped in a piece of fabric measuring 10 by 10 cm to form a bud. Leaves are cut out of felt. Using green narrow tape, the finished bud and leaves are tied to a skewer to make a flower. After the required amount has been collected, the finished “tulips” are collected into a bouquet and wrapped with a beautiful satin ribbon.

  • Roses, crocuses, candy poppies. The scheme for making such bouquets is approximately the same, the only difference is in the color scheme and the shape of the petals that will be used for work.

We attach the candy to a skewer or wire, preferably in a shiny foil wrapper. We cut out blanks of future flower petals from corrugated paper and give them the necessary texture. We secure the petals around the candy using a thread to create the shape of the desired flower. We wrap the skewer and the base of the flower with green tape.

We place the finished products in a wicker basket or a small plastic flower pot, having previously placed a foam base in it. Decorate the stems and base with leftover corrugated paper.

  • "Raffaello". Such a gift will be appropriate not only on September 1, but also at any other time outside of school (especially for a girl). They are often made to order, but making them yourself will be much cheaper.

So, take each of the Raffaello or Ferrero Rocher candies and wrap them in transparent organza. Using ribbons, we fix each candy on a skewer or wire-stem wrapped in foil. We fasten all the stems together with transparent tape, decorate with corrugated paper, and then wrap the finished bouquet with organza with sewn beads.

The result is an extremely airy and romantic composition.

Balloon bouquets

Options for compositions using balloons, which have been gaining popularity lately, will be an excellent alternative to classic flower surprises. Moreover, you can order ready-made compositions or make individual bouquets to suit your taste.

There are different uses for these holiday accessories.

  • In one case, miniature balloons serve as additional decor for regular flower arrangements.
  • In other cases, flowers are made from special modeling balls (so-called “sausages”), forming full-fledged bouquets. Usually, most clients prefer to buy ready-made products, because in order to make such flowers yourself, you need to thoroughly practice in this matter.

Such armfuls look quite funny and unusual, so they are suitable not only for the holiday on September 1, but will also be suitable, for example, for a visit to a matinee in a kindergarten.

Budget compositions

Holiday bouquets do not always have to be chic and expensive. Cheap options will also be appropriate, especially if you approach this matter with imagination.

For example, a well-chosen composition of small wildflowers, complemented by decorative accessories, will look no worse than exotic specimens, but will certainly stand out for its elegant simplicity.

And several garden flowers, carefully grown in the country, are in no way inferior to chic store flowers, and often surpass them in aroma.

Tea bouquet idea

And now I’ll tell you how to make another unusual gift. We will talk about a bouquet based on beautifully decorated tea.

For this composition we select elite tea bags, in stylish foil packaging. We place the bags on a frame, which you can buy at a gift store or make yourself. We make flowers from corrugated paper (can be based on candies), on long skewers.

We fill the remaining space between the bags with ready-made flowers using organza and ribbons, fasten the stems and decorate the composition.

Fruit bouquet idea

Another edible option for a gift composition involves the use of seasonal gifts of nature in the composition.

A number of stores offer ready-made bouquets, both small and simply huge. They are based on apples, citrus fruits, and berries. All this beauty is complemented by flowers, as well as the minimalist design of the bouquet.

However, there is nothing difficult in assembling such a bouquet yourself, only in our case the flowers will be the basis, and the fruits will only serve as an addition. Grapes, apples, and other fruity joys of the end of August will fit perfectly into the company of flowers.

A frame, corrugated paper, a decorative basket and ribbons will help bring this beautiful idea to life.

Toy composition idea

Such a bouquet is made according to the same principle as compositions of fruits, sweets and tea, except that in this case miniature soft toys and stationery are used, which are placed on a frame and complemented with fresh flowers. The entire composition is decorated with ribbons, corrugated paper or organza.

Bell

Thematic options are replete with a wide variety of ideas. I invite you to look at a symbolic bouquet that will look natural in the hands of any schoolchild, especially one who is just starting 1st grade.

This idea is called “Bell”.

Cut off the top third of the plastic bottle. We cover the outside with organza or beautiful paper, and insert the bottom - a floral sponge - inside. From candies, wire and corrugated paper we make flowers with which we fill our bell. We decorate with paper details and organza, voila - done!

Sunflower ideas

The sunflower is a rather original flower; if a child comes on September 1 with a bouquet of sunflowers, instead of the usual roses or chrysanthemums, I think it will greatly impress and delight the teachers.

You can make a simple bouquet consisting only of sunflowers, or you can complement it with a variety of color compositions.

Irises will dilute yellow colors best.

Roses will add elegance to the bouquet.

Solidago, chrysanthemums and chamomile will add a summer note.

Greenery in combination with chrysanthemums and alstroemerias will add piquancy to the bouquet.

A beautiful autumn bouquet with roses and rowan will be remembered and will pleasantly surprise every teacher with its originality.

From chrysanthemums

Of course, chrysanthemums do not look as unique as sunflowers, but it all depends on how and with what to present them. Let's look at some ideas for beautiful and inexpensive bouquets of these flowers.

The options may be the following:

  • Bouquet of multi-colored chrysanthemums.
  • These flowers look very gentle in combination with roses.
  • The combination of lilies and chrysanthemums is a great option for a holiday.
  • Chamomiles and chrysanthemums - simple and tasteful.

Ideas for bouquets of gladioli

These are unusually beautiful flowers, let's take a closer look at how to make the most beautiful bouquets from them for Knowledge Day.

Options for bouquets can be the following and can be combined with colors such as:

  • Roses.
  • Lilies.
  • Gerberas.
  • Roses + orchids go perfectly with gladioli.

Ideas for bouquets of asters

Many flowers go together with asters. Here are some of the best options:

  1. Asters + chrysanthemums.
  2. Roses + carnations + asters + chrysanthemums
  3. Germinie + asters + viburnum + pistache + tanacetum (this bouquet is quite difficult to find ready-made, but you can buy it in parts and yourself).

Rose bouquet ideas

Roses are a classic and go with almost all flowers. They cannot spoil the bouquet; on the contrary, if you add them to any bouquet, it will become even more beautiful.

Ideas for bouquets with roses can be as follows:

  • In tandem with chrysanthemums, roses are delightful.
  • If you add orchids to the above option, the bouquet will become even more delicate.
  • A bouquet of roses and daisies will look quite unusual.
  • Lilies also go well with roses.

Variants of compositions from gerberas

Gerberas are beautiful even alone; it is enough to collect a bouquet of these flowers, which have a variety of colors, and it is in no way inferior in beauty to even beautiful roses.

You can pair them with several colors for variety. Gerberas with:

  • Lilies, roses and chrysanthemums in one bouquet at once.
  • Orchids, tulips and roses.
  • Daisies and tulips.

Bouquets of zinnias

These country flowers are extremely beautiful. Here are some successful combinations of zinnias with other plants:

  • With immortelle and asparagus.
  • With roses and sunflowers.
  • With any country and wild flowers.

Bouquets of dahlias

These flowers have a chic and lush look. A composition of them always looks presentable and bright. You can make a bouquet exclusively from geogreens, or you can diversify it with other flowers.

So, dahlias go well with:

  • Greens (in this case it is hypericum, but you can use absolutely any).
  • Hydrangea.
  • Asters, daisies and other country flowers.

Lily option

These flowers go well with many color compositions. Here are some of the most popular bouquets using lilies:

  • Roses + lilies (you can add dianthus).
  • The combination of irises and lilies makes a gorgeous bouquet.
  • Gerberas + tulips + lilies.

These are the ideas I have collected for you. I hope you find them useful in your holiday preparations!

See you again, dear subscribers. Don’t forget to tell your friends about us on social networks and subscribe to resource updates. Goodbye!

A bouquet bought in a tent will no longer surprise anyone, but any teacher will be delighted with a bouquet made with his own hands. In this article we will tell you and show you how to create your own bouquet for the first bell.

How to create a bouquet for September 1st for a first grader:

from gladioli

To form a bouquet of gladioli, prepare the flowers themselves, several sheets of monstera and bergrass, as well as twine or decorative ribbon for decoration.
Important point. Since gladioli are quite heavy flowers, try to choose a quantity that your child can hold with his hands.

  1. Collect gladioli by placing one flower next to another in a spiral.
  2. Add monstera just below the base of the flowers.
  3. Secure the bouquet with twine.

from asters

You can form a bouquet of asters in any way, but if you want the bouquet not to fall apart and the asters not to fall off, form the bouquet using a floral frame. You can buy it in any florist store, as well as on the Internet.

Thread the stems from the asters into the frame. Try to choose a number of colors so that they completely cover the hole in the frame. Next, add sprigs of any greenery and secure with technical tape. Wrap the resulting bouquet in wrapping paper.

from roses

To create a bouquet you will need roses, ruscus, a decorative net for packaging, pruning shears, a stapler, scissors and ribbon.
Take one branch of ruscus and one rose, place the rose slightly below the ruscus. Next, take the second rose and place it a little lower than the ruscus on the other side.

By alternating ruscus and rose, assemble the bouquet in a spiral. Secure the bouquet with ribbon.

Cut a rectangle from the decorative mesh and place the bouquet on it. Gather the bottom of the mesh with an accordion and secure it with a beautiful ribbon bow.

Original bouquets for September 1st, ideas with photos

When collecting bouquets, pay attention to their packaging. You don't have to buy wrapping paper at all. For example, simple pencils can be an excellent finishing touch to a composition. Thus, the bouquet will please the eye and soul, and the teacher will be able to use the pencils for his own purposes.

Don’t be afraid to add additional decorative elements to your bouquet, such as a globe, protractors, rulers and other paraphernalia. You can attach them to the bouquet with ordinary thin wire, and the bouquet itself will stand out from others with its originality.

Bouquets can be created not only from fresh flowers, but you can also make them yourself from paper. Such a bouquet will remain in your memory for a long time, and will delight your teacher for a long time.

Bouquet for the teacher on September 1st from sweets, step by step with photos

IMPORTANT: When choosing candies to create a bouquet, pay attention to the quality of these confectionery products. By buying cheap candies, you will ruin the impression of even the most spectacular bouquet.

To create a bouquet, prepare:

  • a box of Raffaello chocolates or other favorite sweets of your teacher;
  • tulle;
  • satin ribbon 0.5 cm wide white;
  • bamboo skewers;
  • scotch;
  • thick crepe paper;
  • stapler;
  • heat gun;
  • scissors.

1. First of all, the candies themselves are prepared. The ends of the wrapper are folded over, and the candy itself is covered with tape along its lower edge.

2. Use the ends of the tape to glue the bamboo skewer to the candy.

3. A 15x30 cm piece is cut from the tulle. Next, the piece is folded in half along the width and wrapped around the candy.

4. The ends of the tulle are fixed to the skewer using a satin ribbon tied in a bow.

5. Make as many of these flowers as you want to see in your bouquet. However, a large number of candy flowers will be difficult to put together into one bouquet, and the bouquet itself will be heavy and it is unlikely that the child will be able to carry the entire line with it.

7. A piece is cut out of crepe paper, equal to a full turn of the bouquet in length and equal to the full height of the bouquet + 5 cm in width. The upper edge of the segment is bent 5 cm in the middle, and the already bent edge is stretched with your fingers, forming waves.

8. The bouquet is placed on crepe paper, wrapped, and the top is fixed with a stapler. The bottom is carefully assembled with an accordion and tied with a satin ribbon.

9. The bouquet is wrapped in tulle and tacked in places with hot glue for fixation. The bottom of the tulle is also secured with a satin ribbon.

10. Half beads are glued onto the tulle using a hot-melt gun to match the color of the bouquet itself. A delicate bouquet of sweets is ready.

  • bamboo skewers no less than 30 cm;
  • scotch;

The amount of fruit is selected at your discretion. Since the bouquet itself is quite heavy, do not make it large, because the child simply will not be able to hold it.


The bouquet is ready.

Option 2

In a bouquet of fruits, it is important to choose the fruit that will serve as the middle of the composition. The center most often are citrus fruits such as pomelo and grapefruit. Due to the fact that the cut of these fruits looks beautiful, they are a win-win option for any bouquet.

1. Wash the fruits thoroughly and dry.
2. Cut a quarter of the grapefruit, cut 1 kiwi and 1 lemon in half. Remove the seeds from the lemon.

3. Wrap the kiwi, grapefruit and lemon in cling film. Pierce them with bamboo skewers.

4. Pierce the remaining fruits (in our case, lemon and 4 apples) with skewers without cutting them.

5. Assemble the bouquet and secure the skewers with tape.

6. Insert live carnations and leaves into the voids of the bouquet.

7. Pack in craft paper and decorate with a satin ribbon bow.

Option 3

Prepare:

  • large pears - 5 pcs;
  • large apples - 7 pcs;
  • sweets at your discretion;
  • bamboo skewers;
  • scotch;
  • twine or tape.

Pierce the apples and pears with bamboo skewers. Prick the amount that can hold the fruit even upside down.

Tape the candy to the skewer using tape.

Collect 4 compositions containing 3 fruits and 1 candy. Secure the skewers with tape.

Put all the compositions together, fill the gaps with candies on a skewer. Secure the bouquet with tape. Trim the protruding ends of the sticks.

Pack the bouquet in wrapping paper and decorate with a satin ribbon bow.

Unusual bouquets for September 1st with your own hands

Option 1

Materials and tools:

  • candies;
  • 1 lemon;
  • packaging of tea with sealed bags;
  • thick corrugated paper in 3 colors;
  • foam circle with a diameter of 22 cm and a height of 4 cm;
  • double sided tape;
  • mica or decorative mesh;
  • satin ribbon;
  • toothpicks;
  • glue gun;
  • scotch.

Cut out 2 circles with a diameter of 25 cm from corrugated paper and cover the foam blank with them.

Since the composition will include 11 candy flowers, cut out 33 rectangles measuring 10x3 cm from corrugated paper.
Secure the tip of the candy to the toothpick with tape.

Take one rectangle, twist the third one 180° and bend it in the middle. Stretch the center. Do the same manipulation with the remaining 32 rectangles.

Place the candy into the first petal and glue the ends of the petal to the toothpick with a glue gun. Next, lightly place the second petal on top of the first and glue. Do the same with the 3rd petal.
Thus form all 11 candy flowers.

Cut out 11 sepals from green corrugated paper and glue to the flowers.

Cut 17 10x10 cm squares from mesh, mica or organza, fold them first in half, forming a triangle, and then in half 2 more times. Glue it to a toothpick.

Cover the sides of the foam blank with tape and, placing one on top of the other, glue tea bags to it.

Insert candy flowers and mesh blanks into the center of the blank, leaving space for a large lemon on one side or in the center, as you see fit.

Prick the lemon with a toothpick and add to the composition.

Decorate the composition with a satin ribbon bow. The unusual bouquet is ready.

Option 2

A bouquet of tea and coffee, unlike bouquets of sweets, is not such a common gift and will definitely please your teacher. To create it you will need:

  • loose tea in packaging;
  • loose coffee;
  • corrugated paper;
  • sisal or thinly cut corrugated paper;
  • floral frame for a bouquet;
  • transparent thin film;
  • satin ribbons to match the paper;
  • double-sided colored paper;
  • glue gun;
  • beads or other decorative elements.

1. To make the bouquet look harmonious and the packaging of tea and coffee to be beautifully decorated, make paper bags from double-sided plain colored paper. To do this, fold a sheet of paper in half and glue the sides. We bend the lower edge by 5-6 cm. We open the same edge, fold the ends inward with triangles, and glue the upper and lower parts together.

2. Straighten the bag, bend the top 4-5 cm, make 2 holes with a hole punch. We decorate with bows made of satin ribbons 0.3 mm wide.

3. Place tea and coffee in bags. You can also separately prepare a package with high-quality bagged tea or a small box of chocolates.
We put tea, coffee and sweets in a floral frame (it is sold in stores for florists). We fill the voids with sisal or thinly cut strips of corrugated paper.

6. Decorate as you wish.

Option 3

To create an unusual bouquet arrangement you will need a pumpkin. If the child carries this bouquet himself on September 1, then choose a small pumpkin so that he can hold it. Wash the pumpkin and remove the upper part of the middle. You will also need fresh flowers, red hot pepper, dried lotus, rowan sprigs, tapelant and thin wire.

Tape the peppers, flowers, leaves and branches to the wire. Remove the excess wire; it should only sink slightly into the pumpkin and not pierce through it. Alternately add flowers and other elements of the future bouquet to the pumpkin.

It's time to think about what the main gift for teachers will be. Today we will make a bouquet for September 1st with our own hands, master class. We will try to surprise and delight our teachers with our imagination.

Let's not dwell only on seasonal plants, since now everything is in florist stores! Therefore, we make the most unexpected surprise out of flowers!

Remember what color and style the teacher prefers, if you don’t know this yet, or it doesn’t matter, let’s try to do it based on your taste.

  • sisal.
  1. The central place of the flower design should be occupied by gerberas.
  2. The remaining 3 gerberas are placed around the central one.
  3. Chrysanthemums, if they are large, are inserted one at a time between the gerberas. If small, then in pairs.
  4. Large leaves edge the ensemble.

Bouquet - a sweet gift

We have already talked about what you can do with sweets. Be sure to take a look at that article, it will be useful to you if you decide to prepare a sweet present for your teacher on September 1st.

Our candy masterpiece

If you have now followed the link to see what it is and returned to this article again, then I will continue. If you haven't been there yet, be sure to check it out!


You already know how to create a lily, chamomile or rose from sweets. And all we have to do is tie our crafts with a ribbon or put them in a basket, give them a presentable look, and we can give them away!

From gingerbread

What do we need:

  • Oil – 100g;
  • Sugar – 100g;
  • Liquid honey – 1 tbsp;
  • Egg – 1 pc.;
  • Flour – 250g;
  • Cinnamon – 2 tsp;
  • Ginger – 2 tsp;
  • Soda – ½ tsp.

How to make gingerbread:


Second glaze option

To make the glaze, separate the white from the yolk of one egg. Pour 200 grams of sifted powdered sugar into the protein, preferably finely ground. We also add half a teaspoon of starch. First, mix the mixture with a whisk and then beat the egg whites with a mixer at low speed for 2 minutes. At first the icing will be glassy in color, but over time it will begin to turn white.

At this stage, add a quarter teaspoon of citric acid or half a teaspoon of lemon juice and continue whisking for another 3-5 minutes.

At the exit we get a dense snow-white mass. If you take out the spoon, the mass stretches and then does not settle. This consistency is suitable for storage.

At this stage you can color the glaze, but we need white color. To work, we need to dilute the glaze a little by adding water to it. Gradually pour out the water little by little and stir the mixture. This consistency is suitable for contour.

We will also need a more liquid mixture for filling, which will easily spread on the gingerbread. Add water little by little again and stir the mixture.
