Home made edible arrangements

These are so fun, easy and cheap to make. I have made 3 so far and everyone just loved them and the fact that I took the time to make it myself. Home made gifts are always fun!



What you need
*Vase or container of some sort
*iceberg lettuce or cabbage
*kale
*wooden skewers
*gum drops or dots (keeps fruit from sliding down the skewers)
*cookie cutter/s (optional)
*fruit/s of your choice, depending on how you want your arrangement to look.
  I personally think that strawberries, pineapple and grapes work the best but you can also use orange slices, kiwi slices, watermelon slices, marshmellows or anything else you think would look and taste good. This is where you get to have fun and most importantly... be creative! : )

Directions:
*If you are using a clear/see through vase you can fill the bottom part with whatever you please(I used grapes) just make sure you fill the top with lettuce or cabbage. If it's not clear/see through just go ahead and stuff your container with the lettuce or cabbage(this is so the skewers stay in place).
*put a little kale on the very top. This gives that pretty green leafy look.
*place a gumdrop/dot on the skewer and then place your fruit on top.
*Now for the fun part!Stick the skewers (with fruit) in to create your arrangement adding kale as you go along to hide the  wooden skewers.
*Don't worry if you see a wooden skewer showing just stick some kale in there to cover it up : )

***Remember the options are endless. You can cover your fruit with chocolate, sprinkles, cut different shapes with cookie cutters, or add other edible sweets/candies etc. Have fun and get creative!!!
