Making fruit gifts

Our tree has so many persimmons.  Did you know nice fruit makes a great gift when the packaging is nice?  I am giving away my persimmons and had some materials in my stash.  The first example is a box.  I was going to do burlap but had this nice lame type fabric scrap so went with that. First, cover the outside of the box, using a glue gun to tack it down.  Second, cover the bottom of the box with packing material like bubblewrap or whatever you have.  Third, cover the bubblewrap with tissue paper.  Last, a nice arrangement of the fruit.

I like to put a ribbon around, see future blog for making bows

Ready for presentation
