Prepare the fruits
- The raspberries and blueberries can be washed and dried. You don't have to cut them in any way.

- Repeat the same process for the cantaloupe melon as the watermelon. Cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes.
- Next, peel the mango. Then, cut the flesh off the pit. Portion the pieces into roughly 1-inch pieces. They should be the same size (more or less) as the rest of the fruit.
- Then, you don't have to peel the peaches, but you can if you don't like their skins. Cut the flesh away from the peach pit. Then, cut them into 1-inch cubes.
- Finally, peel the bananas and slice them into 1/2-inch slices.

- Then, thread the prepared fruit onto the skewers one at a time. There isn't a specific order you have to follow. But, for accuracy, follow the rainbow color pattern.
- Repeat the colors (fruits) until you only have an inch of skewer left on both sides.
