Craftykins // DIY Paper Clip Fruit Skewers

By Lexi Leave a Comment

Skewer the fruit! Skewer the fruit! That’s all I’ve been saying ever since crafting up these little fruit skewers from paper clips. They’re ridiculously easy to make, and the kids, they love ’em.

Start by straightening out the paper clip as best you can.

Using the pliers (you can totally use your hands if pliers aren’t handy) and bend one end into a heart-shape.

**A little disclaimer: I don’t claim these to be 100% food-safe. To help ease my mind, I boiled all the paperclips to sterilize them and let them cool before skewering the fruit. Make these at your own discretion! They sure are cute! Happy Summer!

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
