Material:
knife; pineapple and/or melon; drinking glass; matching flowers, twigs and grasses (e.g. roses, hydrangeas, Heuchera leaves, summer asters, grasses, columbines, blackberry twigs, Eustoma etc.).
Method:
- Cut off the lid of the fruit (for pineapple, cut it at the top of the crown; for melon, lengthwise).
- Hollow out the fruit.
- Place a drinking glass filled with water in the cavity and fill it with flowers.
Tip:
To avoid water stains on furniture, it's best to place the fruit on a base
(e. g. a wooden board, flat stone or slate).
The flesh can be used to make a wonderful fruit salad!
