We’d recommend using a dry erase marker to make sure this ribbon is exactly how you want it.

Instructions

  1. Select a symmetrical watermelon. If necessary, cut a thin slice from the bottom of the watermelon so it sits level.
  2. Draw a straight line (just above the middle) lengthwise around the watermelon for the basket's edge.
  3. Draw a handle diagonally across the top as shown in the photograph.
  4. Draw a bow as shown in the photograph so that one edge of the bow is connected to the basket's edge.
  5. Cut and remove the top sections leaving the handle and bow intact.
  6. Scoop out the flesh from inside the watermelon, leaving just a trace of red.
  7. Drain the watermelon before filling.

Very cute, easy to carve. Nice variation from just a zigzag basket & handle edge. Crayola washable marker worked well to draw pattern on rind. I used a seedless watermelon, so the opening to serve from is a tad small – a larger seeded watermelon would probably work even better.
