Looking for a cute fruit themed birthday centerpiece or artful bouquet for any occasion? How about painting some watercolor mosaic fruit, cutting them out and using them to make a festive bouquet? Really so simple with wonderful results, and you can certainly make quite a few for an event, and make each item two-sided so the watercolor fruit bouquet can sit in the middle of a table.
Are you convinced? Keep on reading for tips on how to make this fun bouquet, and one major benefit is that you can make it weeks ahead, and save most of the elements for future use, even as cake toppers!
You'll Need:
- a small real plant (if desired) with dirt or alternately a vase or container filled with kosher salt so skewers stay in place, or filled with a piece of floral foam, or any foam, even a large paper coffee cup turned upside down can be used to poke the skewers into as a holder
- watercolor fruit cutouts tutorial
- pineapple watercolor cutouts tutorial
- bamboo skewers
- tape or hot glue
How To:
Create your watercolor fruit cutouts, and affix bamboo skewers to the back. If more length is needed glue one skewer to the next with hot glue or affix with tape and then cover with a watercolor leaf. Create a balanced, pleasing arrangement, varying the heights as needed. In my case I simply took a small house plant and stuck the skewers into the dirt, reducing the lenght where needed.
Enjoy!
