Mini Fruit Bouquets

Making Fresh Fruit Bouquets is just as fun as eating them.

Yes, it’s easy to go online and order a premade fruit bouquet to give to that special someone. But taking the time to make your own conveys a totally different message. These DIY miniature fruit bouquets are an adorable way to show how much you really care.

Hosting a barbecue or a brunch? Dress up your buffet with these colorful bunches. They add a fun element of surprise, and each stick offers a bite-sized portion of fresh fruit. Who doesn’t love eating food on a stick?!

Keep scrolling to see how to make your own fruit bouquet, plus a couple of tips to make it easy for you.

A Few Quick Tips

1. 1. Sticks — Invest in wooden kabob skewers that you can wash and reuse. You’ll need to cut them in half for smaller bouquets.
   2. Raisins — To keep the fruit slices from sliding down the stick, use a raisin to hold everything in place! If you don’t have any raisins on hand, any type of dried fruit will work nicely.
   3. Orange — Depending on the size of your container, a sturdy fruit like an orange is the perfect solution for displaying the fruit flowers. For larger containers, use grapefruit. Smaller containers can use a lemon or clementine. The skin of the fruit is thin enough to puncture yet strong enough to hold the sticks in place. Want to make a huge fruit bouquet? Use a watermelon to hold the sticks!

The selection of fruits is endless. Pick your favorites or design a bouquet with select colors. Most importantly, have fun with it!
