You can create a pear tree any partridge would be proud to perch upon. Keep in mind that a wide variety of artificial fruit is available at crafts stores. It works best to choose fruit that has a solid foam core covered with a realistically colored plastic skin. Glass glitter makes for the most sparkling effect since it’s transparent and unlike metal-flake glitter, it lets the fruit’s color show through.
What you will need:
•Artificial pears
•Glass glitter
•Craft glue
•Small paintbrush
•Ribbon
Instructions for the project:
In a small bowl, dilute the craft glue with water until it has a thin and runny consistency. Thinning the glue does lessen the amount of glitter that will stick, allowing the color of the pears to shine through. Brush each pear liberally with the glue mixture, and lightly sprinkle it with glitter. Once the pears have completely dried, tie a loop of ribbon from each for hanging.
