Edible art is the perfect combination of delicious and engaging. These grape and toothpick edible art sculptures are similar to the marshmallow & toothpick sculptures that we’ve tried in the past, but much easier and so much better.

How to Make Edible Art with Grapes and Toothpicks
MATERIALS
- Grapes
- Toothpicks (This is an affiliate link, so we may earn a commission if you buy. It costs you nothing extra.)
- Tray (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Gather your materials
This project is so easy because it only requires 2 ingredients: a bowl full of grapes and a box of toothpicks.
- Build!
Connect the grapes together with toothpicks to build whatever structure you want!
Whereas marshmallows can be a bit too soft and sticky to work with (even when stale), grapes are ideal. They hold their shape well, are sturdy, and yet are easily pierced by the toothpicks. - Eat!
Once you’ve built your structures, you can pull them apart and have a snack!
Have you tried building with toothpicks yet? If not, I highly recommend it!
