8. Pick a point on the
line and find the corresponding point
on the
exact opposite side of the watermelon. From those points measure 1"
to the right and to the left. Connect those points by drawing two
parallel lines across the top forming the shape of the handle. |
11. Scoop out all of the
remaining flesh from the base, trying
to leave as much flesh intact. Remove it in larger pieces that can be
used for making watermelon balls or bite-sized chunks. |

4. Use a small melon baller to create flower centers from both the yellow and red watermelons. Assemble the flowers by attaching the center balls with toothpicks. Place entire flower head on tinted green skewers. Insert skewer flower stems into base flower bed. Be sure to alternate colors and feel free to experiment with other colorful fruits like cantaloupe or blueberries. |
5. Fill the basket flower
bed with the rest of the fruit in
flower
shapes and balls. Shape a couple pipe cleaners into leaves and
carefully attach to the skewer stems. |

If you've enjoyed the information on this page, please consider buying my novel Cold Play. The story is set on a cruise ship in Alaska, and the crafts on this page were inspired by the daily passenger activities which take place on board the ship. In Cold Play, Jason Davey has literally run away to sea after the death of his makeup artist wife, finding work as a contract entertainer aboard a much-adored but soon-to-be-retired cruise ship, the Star Sapphire.But when three people from his past come board as passengers, Jason's routine week-long trip to Alaska becomes anything but. |
