HOW TO MAKE PRIMITIVE SPICED FRUIT
Submitted by primsfromabove
Items you will need:
-Plastic Pears or Apples -
the uglier and the cheaper the better
(Lisa bought hers at Wal-Mart)
-Brown Acrylic Paint
-Modge Podge
-Spices - cinnamon, cloves,
nutmeg and pumpkin spice
-Acrylic Sealer/Finisher
DIRECTIONS - Paint your pears or any type of fruit brown. Let it dry, apply a 2nd coat if needed. Once it is dry then apply the modge podge. Mix equal amounts of spices and apply it to the fruit. You can also put the fruit in a bag and shake the bag that contains the spices. Lisa put hers in a bag, but held the pears by the stem and shook the bag around the modge podge covered fruit. Set aside and let dry. Once the fruit is dry then apply a light coat of the sealer/finisher and arrange in a prim crock bowl or basket.
