Decorative pear crafts with their own hands - tips on the choice of material, interesting master classes, photo ideas

How to choose a pear for handicrafts

The finished handicraft must retain its shape and look aesthetic for a certain period of time. There are certain requirements for the natural material that is used for fruit and vegetable crafts.

1. If possible, the pear should be unripe. The harder it is, the better. A ripe, juicy and sweet pear spoils very quickly.
2. The pear must not be damaged by pests or diseases.
3. When making children's crafts, the fruit should not be treated with chemicals. This can cause an allergic reaction in children.
4. The work of making a handicraft should not be done in advance. The optimal time to work is the evening before the exhibition. This will help to prolong the life of the product.

Almost all of these requirements apply to crafts for table decorations with the difference that the pear can be chosen softer. The work is done just before serving the table.
