Buffet Tree Wedding Decor /
Wedding Centerpiece Project

As seen in Country SamplerMagazine.

Place a row of six evenly spaced cupped leaves 1" above the first row, attaching in the same manner. Continue on remainder of tree, leaving 1" between each row. The third row of leaves will have five cupped leaves, the fourth and fifth rows will have four cupped leaves each, and the sixth row will have three cupped leaves. Make sure the leaves are staggered from row to row. Insert a toothpick through the center of each cupped leaf and press it halfway into the foam. Center the kumquat stem-side down on the leaf and gently pierce the fruit, securing it to the foam. Be careful not to squeeze the fruit after piercing; it may drip. Place kumquats in every other cupped leaf at the base and in every cupped leaf on the other rows. Note: For balance, make sure to place kumquats on the bottom row so they will not be directly beneath those in the row above. Place a kumquat at the top of the cone. Insert an 8" dowel rod into the center bottom of the cone, about 3" to 4" deep. Secure the dowel to the foam with hot glue. Place the dowel rod into a fruit-filled mason jar. The kumquats in the jar will support the tree.
