I’ve been trying to up my lunchbox game these days, and have gone the way of the bento box. It has been a great creative outlet, and a way to ensure a balanced, well-proportioned meal. One of my favorite bento items is a mini fruit kabob. It’s basically food on a stick, and anything on a stick is awesome in this household. But it’s hard to find really cute fruit picks. So, I made my own. This is a quick, five-minute craft that is totally satisfying and loads of long-term fun.
Here’s what you need.
1) Plastic food picks. I got mine from Dollar Tree, but you can order a bunch off Amazon too.
2) Fun buttons. I got mine at Joann’s, but any fun fabric store will have a huge selection.
3) Mini glue gun.
4) Flush cutting pliers (I bet you have a pair of these somewhere.)
Using the pliers, snip the backs off all the buttons.
Then…yep, you guessed it…use the glue gun and glue the de-buttoned buttons to the food picks. Let dry and you’re good to go!
