"Cut all fruits through the center, although you might want to cut some of the apples from the top. Let stand out to dry a few hours; juicy grapefruits especially. You may either paint directly onto the fruit, or dip them in paper plates. The second or third print, after a fresh dip in the paint, shows more detail. The finished prints can be made into such items as hats or wrapping paper.
