Once your scallop tray has dried, place it on top of a roll of artificial grass. Using the bottom of the tray as a guide, carefully cut out a rectangle of grass using a knife blade. Place your cut grass inside the tray.

Be sure to download the Free Printable Leaves here and print onto green cardstock. Remove the leaves using scissors and use a black calligraphy pen to write your guests names on the leaves.

Place one glue dot on the underside of each cardstock leaf and gently attach to the tops of oranges. I highly suggest using glue dots over pins or anything sharp. Glue dots don't pierce the oranges leaving them fresh for longer.
