I saw how they make Edible Arrangements on a tv show awhile back. Can't remember for sure, but I think it was Unwrapped (FoodNetwork). You might be able to find an upload of the episode on youtube or somewhere like that. Basically though, they find a nice basket. They take a whole head of lettuce (regular old iceberg) that fits in the basket. Then they cut up the fruit (just look at the pics for that part)... Then they stick all the fruit onto wooden skewers (like you'd use for shish-ka-bobs), which are really cheap at most grocery stores by the way, and then they stick the other end of the skewer into the lettuce. The lettuce holds everything in place. You just keep adding fruit until you have a nice arrangement. I'm sure you could add paper or something to the bottom to make it look fuller. Like sheets of tissue paper under the head of lettuce, then pull them up around the sides.
