How to Make a Fruit Bouquet

Fruit Bouquets are quite interesting to make and looks delicious. They can be made of real fruit or fake fruit-in this article, I use real fruit. If you decide to use real fruit then be aware that the bouquet be eaten in a few days ... otherwise the fruit rots.

You can use all sorts of different fruits, from apples to apricots, peaches for. There are certain fruits that make it easier to learn how to make a fruit bouquet, and I will use them in this article. Once you know what you do, you can try different fruits.

You will need:

 - 7 Large Plums 

 - 11 Strawberries 

 - 15 large leaves 

 - 5 Small Rosebud Heads 

 - Cellophane 

 - 4 Feet of Ribbon 

 - Thick, semi-thick and thin gauge wire 

 - Stem tape

Step 1 - Prepare the fruit.

Remove any stems or stickers from fruit and clean if necessary.

Step 2 - Prepare the cellophane

Cut the squares out of the cellophane to wrap the plums in. seats need not be too big, just big enough to enclose the yolk completely. Twist the cellophane around the plum.

Step 3 - Wire the plums

Wire the plums, using thick gauge wire.

Step 4 - Tape the wire

Tape the wire. The plums should now look like a candied apple on a white cane.

Step 5 - Prepare the strawberries

Remove leaves from the top of strawberries, and then prepare them the same as the plums. Use the same size squares of cellophane as before. 

When the cellophane is twisted around the strawberries, cut in cellophane, so only a few inches back.

Step 6 - Wire the strawberries.

 Wire the strawberries, using semi-thick gauge wire. Tube must be near the higher end of strawberries, so the pointed end of strawberry plants will be seen in the bouquet. 

 Make sure you are gentle with the strawberries as they are quite squishy!

Step 7 - Prepare the leaves.

 Wire and tape the leaves using thin gauge wire.

Step 8 - Shape the fruit bouquet.

Consolidating them into a posY form. Do this by ...

- Keep the yolks in a flock, with 2 hands. 

- Fan everything out of nothing. 

- Insert leaves between plums. 

- Add the strawberries and roses.

If you have any vacant holes, then fill them then fill them with two figure-of-eight bows. Cut excess ribbon, so you only have loops.

 That's it! A quick warning about ... If you used real fruit, make sure to put the fruit bouquet in the fridge, otherwise it will start to go out (and smell a bit funny), in a few days.
