The directions for this fruit bowl said to start with two empty
toilet paper tubes. You were supposed to bend the cardboard cylinders into
triangles and place them upright in a bowl. You were to fill the insides of the
cardboard with fresh blueberries and the outsides with orange slices, then
gently pull the cardboard out. That seemed frightfully unsanitary to me. After
all, I KNOW where my toilet paper rolls have been. So I took an 8 1/2x11" sheet
of card stock, cut it half and bent the
two halves into triangle-shaped tubes. The resulting fruit bowl was a big hit,
but I keep thinking I could have done better. If I’d made three card stock
triangles, this poor Jack-o’-lantern would have a nose. If I do this again, I
might swap the oranges for carrots and the berries for black olives. I could
make a mouth out of a hollow bell pepper and fill it with ranch dressing.
