Pick out 5 fruits in different shapes and sizes.
Lay the fruits out on the table and try to come up with a way to create faces, flowers, or anything else you like that comes to mind.
Once you decide how to design your food sculpture, you can use toothpicks to attach the fruits and create your sculpture.
You can use the fruits as whole pieces or cut them up into the shapes you need for your creation.
Take a photo of your sculptures and send them to hagit@makemistakes.club. We would LOVE to share your food art on Mistake Club’s website and social media!
