Sage Fruit Apple and Pear Basket Centerpiece






Materials:
1 medium basket
1 medium wreathe
2 large candy cane sticks
Various ornaments, bows, floral decorations, ribbon
1 battery operated lighting set
1 bag foil shreds confetti
Sage Fruit apple varieties, enough to fill the size of your basket
Sage Fruit pears

Directions:

1. Take your basket and fill the bottom with shiny foil shreds to add volume to the basket.

2. Start placing a variety of apples in the basket, arrange so a mixture of size and color is noticeable. Place enough in the basket to fill it up.

3. Take larger apples and place them on top of the other fruit so that your basket can display the fruit, creating a fuller look. Also, add some Sage Fruit pears!

4. Take your various decorations and start placing them in and on the basket. Take floral arrangements and place them in one corner of the basket. Add colorful ribbon to wrap the basket or any basket handles. You can also attach an ornament or bow to the front of the basket. Arrange to your liking.

5.Take the wreathe and wrap it with the lighting set much like what you would do with a Christmas tree. Place the batteries inside the lighting box and turn on. Your wreathe should now light up adding a nice glow to your centerpiece.

6. Attach any decorations to the wreathe.

7. Place the wreathe around the basket of apples so that it sits at the base of the basket.

8. Place the entire centerpiece on your holiday dinner table or anywhere you like for a simple holiday decoration.

6 -7 mini marshmallows
7 -11 toothpicks

To make the feathers: Take raisins or Fruit Loops and slide onto toothpicks about 3/4the way down. Place a mini-marshmallow on the end. You will need 6 or 7 "feathers" depending on the size of your apple.

Stick the "feathers" into the back of the apple.

To make the head: Slide raisins down toothpick and top with a green olive (head). Use cloves for eyes. If your olive has a pimiento you can pull it out the back of the olive and let it hang so that it looks like a turkey wattle.
