4. 4. Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch slices, then cut the slices into 1/2-inch cubes.
5. 5. Cut each starfruit into 10 1/4-inch slices.
6. 6. Assemble the fruit wands by gently sliding each piece of fruit onto each skewer in this order: 1 Slice of Starfruit (this becomes the star on top), 1 Ball of Watermelon, 1 Red Grape, 1 Green Grape, 1 Piece of Cantaloupe, 1 Cube of Pineapple, 1 Strawberry.
