Place the watermelon star on the top of the skewer without the top poking through. If making these for small kids, trim the pointed part of the skewer before placing the watermelon star on top. When selecting fruit for the wands, pick fruit with skin or that isn&#8217;t very &#8216;wet&#8217; to the touch like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and grapes. Use heavy-duty skewers or two thin skewers per wand as the watermelon toppers can get a little heavy once all the fruit is stacked on the skewer. If making these in advance, wait to add the fruit leather ribbons otherwise the moisture from the fruit will make them sticky and wet while the fruit wands sit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magic Fairy Fruit Wands &nbsp; 1 small watermelon 1 pound red grapes \u00bd pound blackberries \u00bd pound strawberries 2 rolls fruit leather (we used Fruit by the Foot) heavy duty skewers star or heart-shaped cookie cutter &nbsp; Cut the watermelon.
