How do I create the heart shapes?

Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the strawberry halves and watermelon slices carefully, ensuring neat shapes for the skewers.

Can I substitute other fruits?

Yes, red grapes or cherries can be added to diversify flavors while maintaining the red fruit theme.

These are optional for added sweetness and shine; the fruits are naturally flavorful and can stand alone.

Assemble just before serving or refrigerate the skewers briefly to preserve freshness and texture.
