In appearance, the confectionery syringe made at the factory resembles an ordinary medical one. But it has capacity bigger size, and instead of needles, he has nozzles that are conical or flattened at the end of the form with figured or slot-like holes. The cream is placed in this container and, using a press, is squeezed out of the nozzle, like a toothpaste from a tube. Its surface can have a rather intricate shape due to the figured slots.
Sometimes a syringe is used instead of culinary bag - dense plastic bag with a nozzle soldered into the corner, the cream from which is squeezed out when the bag is squeezed by hand. But what if there is no such syringe or bag at hand? You can make them yourself at home using available tools.

If you cut a hole in the bag with cloves, this sausage will turn out to be ribbed.
How to use different tip shapes
You can draw not only linear patterns with these tips. An evenly cut small hole can be used to apply balls and hemispheres. Squeeze the cream out of the bag at one point without moving your hand. When the ball is large enough, stop pressing and pull the tip sharply to the side.

It's about a pastry bag - best friend any pastry chef. You can do a lot with it: decorate cakes, pastries, fill eclairs, and more. Today we'll talk about how to make a piping bag yourself.
What is a piping bag for?
In order for all your family and friends to admire your culinary masterpieces, they must not only be tasty, but also look aesthetically good. To do this, you will need to familiarize yourself with the technique of decorating baking with cream. To do this, stock up on some special tools, such as cream injector or a multi-nozzle piping bag.
Of course, you can buy a ready-made bag in a special store, but it is better to make it yourself, since it is very easy. In addition, this skill can be very useful to you in case you use a syringe in the kitchen, and it broke down at one point, and it is either time-consuming or expensive to restore it.
So, with the help of homemade products, you can get out of a difficult situation, because it is done very quickly and easily.

Disposable products can be made from a plastic bag or paper, they are very convenient in that they do not need to be washed, and they can be filled with almost all types of creams. As for the reusable bags, they can be made from a plastic bottle or cloth. They will need to be washed especially thoroughly, and if cotton is used, then also boil and iron (as disinfection).
How to make a piping bag from a plastic bag with your own hands
So, let's move on to making homemade bags. Let's start with the simplest. For this we need a plastic bag and scissors. The bag should be tight and transparent with a zip fastener.
The manufacturing process is very simple:
1) open the bag and carefully fill it with a spoon with cream;
2) after that we fasten the fastener or fix the package with a knot;
3) cut off a small corner of the bag -done!
It should be noted that such a simple version of the package is not multifunctional. For example, it is unlikely that it will be possible to make the same thickness with its help; you cannot make curly decorations either. However, when there is no alternative, this version of the bag will do just fine.
How to make a piping bag out of paper
The paper version of the pastry bag has several more possibilities... Waxed paper or pastry parchment is a good base. If the paper is thick enough, you can use a cut out curly corner as a nozzle. Thus, to make a paper pastry bag, we need to cut a triangle out of paper and roll it into a cone.
An important point: be sure to make sure that there are no gaps between the layers of paper, as cream can seep through them!
How to make a nozzle from a plastic bottle
If you need to make beautiful roses or other decorations, you cannot do without a curly nozzle from a plastic bottle.

plastic bottle;
knife;
marker;
a pastry bag from a bag or cloth.
The process of making a nozzle is as follows:

2) draw the desired pattern on the lid with a marker, then, focusing on the drawing, cut out a hole with a knife. As a picture, you can make a snowflake, a crown or any other of your imaginations;
3) we twist the lid on the neck and attach the curly nozzle to our homemade bag.
That's it, the nozzle is ready. With the help of this master class, you can make several curly nozzles at once for more choice, your household and guests will not remain indifferent!
In addition to the plastic bottle cap, you can also use small caps from under nasal spray bottles as a nozzle, since their dimensions are great for creating thin lines.
To facilitate the work on decorative finishing baking, novice confectioners should use the following recommendations:
1) when using a pastry bag, the patterns must be done with the left hand, and with the right hand hold and squeeze it a little;
2) do not immediately try to make fabulous landscapes, start with something simple, for example, dots or stars;
3) to draw points, use a round nozzle: take it, squeeze out a point and immediately return it to a vertical position, stop pressing;
4) stars can be made in exactly the same way, but with a curly nozzle;
5) so that during work the hand trembles from tension, under right hand you can substitute the left one as a support;
6) when applying small patterns or inscriptions, the nozzle should be kept as close to the baking surface as possible.
Cooking baked goods at home is not just an educational pastime, it is also a very modern hobby, given that the modern confectionery industry uses less and less natural ingredients and safe fats, and this is not even mentioning the dyes, preservatives and preservatives that are found everywhere and everywhere. other chemical additives.

The ability to make such a structure with the help of scrap materials can be useful to you if you preferred to use a syringe, and your faithful kitchen assistant suddenly failed, and it is too expensive or too expensive to restore it.
A homemade device in an emergency will just save the day.

Plastic bag
To make it, you just need a bag (preferably made of thick plastic, for example, from under milk, or with a zip fastener) and scissors. Fill the bag with cream, cut a corner of a suitable size (this will determine the thickness of the strip of the squeezed cream) and proceed to the artistic finishing of baking.
Paper bag

After that, fill it with cream and cut off the corner. On thick paper, you can cut the curly edge of the corner. He will be able to partially replace the nozzle.
You can also make a piping bag with handmade nozzles. To do this, cut off the neck of an ordinary plastic bottle, stepping back a few millimeters below the thread, and secure it to the bag with adhesive tape (from the outside).
Slide the cream towards the nozzle and, directing the flow of the cream, decorate the dessert.
Cloth bag
You can buy it ready-made, but it is not difficult to sew a pastry bag with your own hands. When choosing a fabric, make sure it is easy to wash.

Cut a triangle (isosceles) out of the fabric, sew 2 sides, the top of which is cut to fit the attachments you will put it on. Work (fold) the seams around the edge of the cone. The seams along the structure should be on the outside so that they do not need to be washed from the cream.
Plastic bottle nozzles
Using caps from plastic bottles, you can make a variety of curly nozzles on any bag to which the neck of the same bottle is attached. To do this, in addition to the mentioned container, you need to arm yourself with a knife with sharp end and a marker.
Draw a contour of the proposed hole on the lid, then cut the figure out exactly along the contour with a knife. Most simple options drawings - stars, snowflakes, crowns - give a beautiful outline of the cream strip. Having processed several caps in this way, you will already receive a whole set of replaceable nozzles with holes of different configurations and sizes!
You can attach the neck of the bottle to the woven bag using a needle and thread. To do this, you need to cut the neck slightly below the thread, make holes along the edge for a needle and thread with which you will sew it to the product.
In a similar way, small shaped nozzles can also be made from caps for nasal spray bottles. It will be convenient for them to perform more delicate work, to apply openwork patterns.

After filling the bag with the contents, the edges (if you have not cut them off) can be rolled inward or twisted in a spiral. In the second option, it will be much more convenient to squeeze out the contents of the package.
Stage 5
Cut the folded corner diagonally or give it a pretty star or wave pattern.
