Exotic fruit vases

No vacation in sight? Travel not possible? Our decoration tips help to spice up barbecues or small garden parties with a little holiday atmosphere.
A barbecue evening for those who long to travel? Or an exotic garden party planned? Then we have two ideas that will inspire your guests.

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!
