Upcy: DIY Citrus Fruit Paintings & Prints

I absolutely love seeing fruit & other natural elements used in the home as decor! You can create your own Citrus Fruit Wall Art, or Fabric which you could then use to make any number of adorable DIY projects with your own hand printed fabric!
I was bummed to see a few of my fruits had spoiled & dryed out - I decided to get a little create with them & this was the result! They actually work super well, I don't know how well fresh citrus would work for this, but i would defiantly recommend drying off the fleshy center on a towel either way to remove the excess moisture! This is a super simple tutorial is absolutely perfect for Spring & Summer; & you can make it yourself using just 3 items (you more than likely already have in your home this time of year)
