    Method
  1. Peel a onion, place it on a chopping board and cut it vertically with the carving knife.
  2. Place one half of the onion on a chopping board. Starting 1 cm. From the onion bulb, make slits at regular intervals right till the end, using a knife.
  3. Gently segregate each layer of the onion with your fingers and keep aside.
  4. Cut a small rectangular piece of the white radish approximately 2" in length and 3/4" in width. Place the smallest layer of the onion on one end of the radish and secure it with a pin.
  5. With the help of a pin, attach more layers working towards the onion bulb. This becomes the body of the swan.
  6. Place a spring onion on a chopping board and using a knife, separate the white from the green leaving around 1 to 1½" of the green intact. Hold the spring onion and using a knife make gentle slits along its green portion.
  7. Dip the spring onion (head) into a bowl of ice cold water for 10 minutes. This will make the spring onion greens crisp and they will curl out well.
  8. Cut a small triangle beak from the carrot and attach it to the tip of the spring onion bulb with the help of a pin.
  9. Insert 2 cloves into the bulb to form the eyes of the swan.
  10. Attach the spring onion to the radish-onion base (body) with the help of a toothpick.
  11. To decorate it, make 2 to 3 such swans, place them on a blue paper at different angles and make water kind of effect using marker pen.
