I was invited to a crafting event with Driscoll’s Berries a few weeks ago. Due to timing and distance, I wasn’t able to attend, but I was invited to participate in the program in a cyber kind of way- I received coupons and a gift ca
rd to purchase supplies to make my craft at home instead of at the event.
I had plans to make a beautiful fruit tree centerpiece for our kitchen, with 3 trees situated on a foil plate. My 5 year old was heartset on helping me and so I modified my plans for a 5 year old to help and we ended up with 1 blueberry tree on a foil plate. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s sweet, it’s simple, and we feel like it’s very festive. I think it’s beautiful, and so does my son!
Using foods for decor can be fun- edible centerpieces on the table add a fun ambience. It’s also a space saver! AND it smells great- especially with berries.
I think we’re going to do this again on the 15th for my mother in law’s family holiday party- with strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. It’s a fun way to add some more fruit in, and definitely something different! I think we will cover the “trees” in foil first – I don’t want to eat off of styrofoam.
So how did we do?

This is so clever, and could be adapted for any occasion or holiday. However, I love driscoll’s berries so much I’d eat them all before i could get the craft done!
The blueberry tree is a cute idea but it wouldn’t last 5 minutes with me around, lol. I love blueberries too much.
Very cute. Think you did a good job there. Did you attach the blueberries with toothpicks?
Fun to do and edible too! Nothing better than that!
I love this idea! I am so uncreative and I am loving the idea that #1 I don’t have to worry about the kids eating the deco (lol) but #2 they made it and it smells good too and all natural! This rocks!
Love it! I didnt think this would be with real berries. I suppose you could use Driscoll’s Raspberries also
Cute and a great snack!
Woah! Definitely one of the yummiest holiday decor
Love it!
boy that craft looks so yummy
That looks amazing! I don’t think I’m crafty enough to do that!
That looks great! How did you attach the blueberries?
this is such a cute idea ty for sharing
Very cute! I love it and I bet it smelt great
So cute but my son loves blueberries, I have a feeling they wouldn’t stay in tact that long lol
That is so cute and festive! I’ve never seen anything like it and would love to make something like this with my kids. I pinned it so I can remember it.
this is really cute and a fun idea to do with the kids than you can eat it later with them!
maybe put cool whip around the bottom to look like snow
I think this is a unique and really cute Christmas tree made with Berries. I like the decoration on it, and it looked fun to make!
That tree is super cute!
I give you an A+++++> Gorgeous!
What a CUTE idea! Love it and you could totally use it for different Holidays!
the tree came out great would make a great centerpiece on the dessert table
What a neat idea! These would be a huge hit at our Memorial Day & 4th of July parties with blueberries and strawberries.
