Choosing an original gift for a man often turns into a big problem. A practical, extraordinary, fancy gift, moreover, made with your own hands, can be a beautifully decorated bouquet of … roach.
The classic rules of etiquette require a woman to give flowers to members of the opposite sex in strictly specified cases: if a man is the culprit of a major celebration or event and provided that the man is older than the woman giving him flowers. However, if you really want to please a man with some original bouquet without observing conventions, you can give him a wonderful gift: a bouquet of dried fish, decorated according to floristic rules.
Laconic bouquet for tough men
If a man has a strong character, is not inclined to the manifestation of romanticism, is a representative of a harsh male profession, then it is possible that he will like a bouquet of dried fish wrapped in newspaper instead of brown paper.
It will not be difficult to make such a bouquet: the required amount of selected dried fish is wrapped in several layers of newsprint, giving it the shape of a bouquet. To add a bright, festive note and fix the composition, the bundle is tied with an elegant packing tape.
Exquisite bouquet
Men who appreciate the manifestation of imagination and originality of thinking can be presented with a bouquet of roach, which is more complex in composition and design. A large beer mug or a wicker basket can serve as the basis for the composition, depending on the number of fish for the bouquet.
Salted dryers, pistachios, peanuts, small shiny fish like smelt, squid rings and various floristic components can be useful as decorative elements: twigs, buds, ribbons, wrapping paper, jute netting for bouquets, etc.
To avoid excessive specific "fragrance" of the future bouquet of roach, it is necessary to pack each fish in a double layer of cellophane. The top edge of the package is smoothed and tied with an elegant ribbon. The bottom edge of the package is also tied with a strong tape; small sticks are inserted between the folds of cellophane, which act as a stem.
Pistachios are put on toothpicks, after which small compositional groups are formed from them: you can arrange nuts both in the form of bouquets and in the form of a multilevel composition, fixing its individual elements on a decorative branch-base with adhesive tape.
A bouquet of roach is placed in a beer mug or basket, decorated with decorative elements: a floral net, small twigs, dryers, buds made from squid rings, nuts.
