Such a cute salt shaker and pepper shaker will definitely not become superfluous on your table and certainly all guests of your house will definitely like it.
First of all, you need to prepare eggs from the original Kinder-Surprise children's treat (this particular package has a fastener connecting its lower part to the upper one), bee flower yarn (black-yellow or brown-yellow), a thin crochet hook and an empty one ballpoint pen from a helium ballpoint pen.
You will also need a white felt, a black marker, copper wire and polymer glue (it is better to take a shoe). All this is needed to create the eyes and antennae of the insect.
You can make any stand for these containers. In this case, the same copper wire, black leather and small beads for decoration were used for its manufacture.
First, we start knitting a bee costume. We collect 3 air loops from dark yarn, form a ring from them, which we then tie together with single crochet columns (st. Bn). In total, you need to knit 3 circular black rows.
Next, we change the thread through each row and stop the increase already from the 4th color block.
It is due to the absence of increases that the product acquires the desired shape and does not slip from the smooth surface of the egg.
After the 6th strip, the cover should be measured so as not to miss the moment when you have to knit a hat. We make it black. In the zone of attachment of two parts of the egg we knit 5 tbsp / b. n we collect a chain of air loops (their number is determined by the number of remaining columns).
Then we fix this chain in the same place from where they were withdrawn, after which we completely bind the item / b. n
In this case, the fitting will also not be superfluous - this will help to start cutting in time.
So that the crown of the bee’s head is not pointed, it is better to close the loop sharply, without smooth transitions.
We cut out eyes from felt, glue it, draw black pupils.
The elastic antennae will be obtained only from the wire, so we cut off a small piece of the copper base and simply thread it in the right place.
Now we wrap the antennae with thread and give the desired shape (make small curls at the ends).
And now the bee is ready! But in order for this cute insect to become a salt shaker, a small hole must be made in the upper part of the egg, through which an empty rod is then passed.
We cut off the protruding part of the tube and get a fully capable salt shaker.
To distinguish between containers and always know where which spices are, make a small difference between the bees (one, say, dark brown, the other black).
You can make any stand, it’s nice to make a house in the form of a hive or a flower. Here is a more classic version. First, make two oval rings of wire and connect them with a piece of wire in 4 places.
Then we tighten this frame with leather, sewing it from below with a loop-like seam.
We decorate the inside of the stand with openwork braid.
And to hide the same seam from below, a strip of leather decorated with beads will help.
All parts (both internal and external) are glued with glue.
And now the stand together with the original spice containers is ready! Now you will definitely surprise all the guests of your house!
