nano-accounts for a very business man)))
thank you very much https://stranamasterov.ru/node/254016 for the idea. I made it urgently in one day as a gift to a very good and very business friend)
We cut out the following strips from penoplex. choose the width yourself, based on what you plan to glue on top. I will have chocolate eurekas, so I cut it off somewhere around 2.5-3 cm... I don’t remember exactly. you just need 4 of these
cut based on what size you are going to make. The inner width is about 22cm. so that the wooden skewer stands up. I decided to make 8 strings with steering wheels in length. Any other quantity is possible, based on time and desire
Each piece was wrapped in wrapping paper with double-sided tape
Now you need to decorate and strengthen the wooden skewers, which will serve as strings for holding the bagels. To do this, cut off a narrow strip from the same wrapping paper and again carefully wrap it with double-sided tape
I applied adhesive tape at intervals of a couple of cm. You can see it in the photo, it’s better not to have photographed
I bought ordinary bagels, among those presented in the store I chose those that were more expensive, they turned out to be more beautiful and more even. I struggled for a long time with how to paint it dark. my beloved husband suggested the idea. the required number of bagels (I have 16, since there are 8 strings) need to be coated with egg white and baked in the oven)))) hurray!!!! It worked!!!
Now that everything is ready, we begin assembling... we measure out the spaces where our skewers will be located. Unfortunately I don’t remember how many I had. you need to string 2 skewers with bagels and try them on. the main thing is that they are not too close. otherwise the steering wheels will touch the neighboring rows. but large gaps also look unsightly. so measure 7 times, as they say... the packaging paper cannot be pierced with skewers. so I took a thin knitting needle and carefully made a puncture. and then she stuffed the skewer in. you need to sharpen 2 ends of the skewer
When all the skewers are inserted into place, we check whether they were done correctly.
for me this was the most difficult task...maybe it will be easy for you. We measure the same distance on our second part. pierce it with a knitting needle and insert a skewer with already strung bagels. So you need to do this carefully with each one. deepened the skewers approximately 1-1.5 cm on each side
glue double-sided tape to the attachment points of the missing parts
that's all... the hardest part is over) ah, yes. To be sure, I also put several toothpicks in the fastening points so that our abacus would not fall apart at the crucial moment. now it's tight)
Now we’re decorating... my husband categorically forbade making flowers. He said literally: “We’re bringing it to a man, not a woman...” so I just had to glue the Eurekas with double-sided tape
and on the sides there are candies.
they wrapped it in corrugated paper like this so that the surprise would be a success, otherwise they would have prepared a speech. . Then I printed out this text and attached it on top. may be useful to someone.

Bouquet of sweets. Abacus. Master Class
Author: kumushki. This is a quote from this post
Lyubov Lisunova
Men love sweets no less than women (contrary to the existing stereotype). That's why we came up with a special men's bouquet of sweets. Both the boy and the husband will like this. These are sweet abacus, which by the way are a symbol of prosperity in the house.
The secret to a reliable candy sculpture is in its base. The base can be very complex, because each suite designer has his own secrets for making special base forms. Lyubov Lisunova suggests making our bouquet in a simple and proven way, which is suitable for beginners.
As a basis for sculptural compositions, you can use whatever is at hand: cardboard boxes, polystyrene foam, polystyrene foam. All these materials can be bought on the construction market or found at home (they are often left over after renovations). Polystyrene foam is often used to package electronics and household appliances.
Sweet designers recommend first purchasing candies for the composition, and then making a mold - this way it will be possible to maintain the exact dimensions. In our product we used chocolates measuring 7.5 x 3.5 cm, so the width of the frame corresponds to the width of the chocolate bar; 13 chocolates fit freely on a frame measuring 30 x 23 cm.
Materials
- foam board 3 cm thick
- black corrugated paper 30 cm
- gold ribbon 3 cm wide 170 cm wide
- drying 60 pcs.
- chocolate 13 pcs. 7.5 x 3.5 (cm)
- gold cord 60 cm
- kebab skewers 6 pcs. 20 cm long
- toothpicks 8 pcs.
- banknotes printed on a printer
- chamomile 3 pcs.
- gold acrylic paint
- hot melt adhesive
Tools
- hot glue gun
- stationery knife
- scissors
- ruler
By the way
Penoplex is a thermal insulation material.
Cutting at an angle of 45 degrees is easy to do using a miter box.
1 Cut out blocks of penoplex with a width of 3.5 cm and dimensions: 2 pcs. 22.5 cm each and 2 pcs. 39 cm each. Cut the end of each block at an angle of 45 degrees. The cuts should go in different directions. The result will be bars that resemble long trapezoids.
2 Wrap each block with corrugated paper. Glue the seams overlapping with a heat gun. Be careful that all seams on the bars should only be on one side of the frame, since in the future they will be decorated with candies and chocolate.
3 Trim off excess paper from the ends of each block.
4 Connect the ends of the short and long bars end-to-end so that they form a 90-degree angle. Glue each corner with hot glue. For a more secure connection, use a toothpick as a wooden nail. Connect all sides of the frame one by one.
5 Paint the skewers and 12 dryers with gold acrylic paint. When they are dry, attach the skewer to the frame. To do this, insert a skewer into the longer piece of the frame so that it goes right through. Place dryers on a skewer in the following sequence: 4 plain, 2 gold and again 4 plain. Then pull the skewer with the dryers to the opposite bar. By the way, before you start working with dryers, the inner walls of the frame can be marked. Then the crossbars will be located at the same distance from each other.
6 Glue gold braid around the entire outer perimeter of the frame.
7 The basis for the bouquet is ready. Place it in front of you, seams up. Now choose the location of the chocolates and all other decorations on the frame. Only after this start gluing the candies onto the base.
8 Complete the composition by decorating the abacus with flowers, gold cord, banknotes printed on a printer (you can also use real ones).
9 Gift accounts are ready. Now your man can taste the sweet life. Source

Lesovichok + MK for cotton wool bagels
I sewed this little forest girl as a gift for my mother’s friend, who supplies me with furs for the hair of these same little forest girls. I didn’t make the samovar - it was from home supplies. Something like a figurine - but the lid opens and you can store all sorts of little things there. Made of ceramics. All the forester's clothes are removed.
This is our hat.
And here is a goose crawling onto its toe.
He sits comfortably on this bag. I'm tired of embroidering inscriptions on canvas. In addition, my friend gave me a burner, why not try it out - this is the medal I ended up with - thanks to my friend Nastya and my beloved husband, who cut out this medal for me.
And of course, is it possible not to leave your autograph? 
Now a separate conversation about the steering wheels. According to the plan, there should be bagels on the neck of the forester. After a fair amount of shopping - and according to the law of meanness, as always - there is never anything urgently needed. Naturally, there were no bagels of the required size in stores. Time did not allow me to make it from salt dough - since today I have to give it to my mother. And then by chance I came across a small article on the Internet where it is briefly written about cotton wool bread. https://www.tula.rodgor.ru/gazeta/641/hobby/2195/ Well, now I’m sharing my first experience and at the same time MK. I repeat, I’m not an expert in this matter - I just tried it - but I liked the result - and most importantly, it’s done quickly. Maybe it will be useful to someone else. So we need: 1. cotton wool 2. bandage 3. flour 4. water Cut off a little bandage - 6-7 centimeters. We twist the cotton a little and begin to twist the cotton into a bandage - after getting used to it, it began to work out better. It's better to twist it tighter.
This is what the sausage should look like
Wrap the sausage around your finger and carefully sew the ends together
These are the rings we ended up with
Make the dough by diluting the flour in water to the consistency of thick sour cream. I don’t know why I also threw in some salt, just in case, although the article doesn’t say anything about salt. Then we carefully dip the ring into the dough and smooth out all the lumps with our fingers so that it is smooth and beautiful.
And we bake. At first I baked for 7-8 minutes at 180 T, and then browned at 200. Everything took 20 minutes. We take it out, cool it, and paint it with varnish.
These are the bagels and buns I ended up with. Try this, it’s really very simple and very fast - it took me only an hour and a half to make the bagels from the moment of twisting the cotton wool to stringing it on a thread. Maybe, of course, something turned out clumsily for now, but this is the first experience, I’ll get used to it, I think it will turn out better. I will be glad if my little MK is useful to someone.
Well, once again there’s a roll in your hand and some bagels nearby.
Progress
Step 1: Cut a square out of thick cardboard for the base and paint it your favorite color. The child will be happy to help.
Step 2. An adult must make 10 cuts on each side - this is necessary to secure the threads. Pre-measure the distance between the “tracks” with a ruler.
Step 3: Cut 10 pieces of thread, making sure it is long enough to cover the width of the abacus. An adult can measure one thread for a sample, and the child will cut the rest independently.
String one bead on the first thread, two on the second, and so on up to ten. A great opportunity to practice counting and motor skills! Be careful that your little helper doesn't put the beads in his mouth!
Step 4. Secure the first thread with a bead by inserting it into the slots and tying it into a knot on the back of the workpiece. Attach the rest in the same way. Let your child count the beads and give you the required strings.
Step 5. Check if you did everything correctly. Happy counting!
Dear readers! Tell us how your child’s relationship with arithmetic develops? What games and aids do you make with your own hands and use to teach counting?
We bring to your attention programs of developmental classes with therapy dogs, depending on the age of the child and your wishes:

Dino's Workshop: making abacus
The abacus, or simply put, the abacus, is the oldest device for arithmetic calculations. It was known even before our era, and to this day it has been successfully used to teach children to count. Let's try to make an abacus with our own hands and test the effectiveness of homemade abacus on our little Prodigies.
Materials for work: - thick cardboard for the base, - 55 large colored wooden beads, - thick strong threads, - scissors, - paint, - brush.
