How to Carve a Watermelon
Making jack-o-lanterns isn't the only way to get festive with your food. Create a summer centerpiece with watermelon!
Easy DIY Watermelon Centerpiece
Making a watermelon the centerpiece of your summer bash is easier than you think! All you need is a stencil, carving knife, wooden skewer, and a pretty watermelon.
Step 1: Stencil & Trace
Create a stencil on your computer using a big, bold font that will be easy to cut around.
Place the stencil on top of the watermelon and tape the sides down. Using a wooden skewer, poke holes around the outside of each letter. Remove the stencil.
Step 2: Cut Out Letters
Use a crafts knife or wood-handled carving knife to trace the outline of each letter. Use the same tool to scrape out the watermelon rind on the inside of each letter.
Step 3: Tidy Edges & Display
Clean up the edges, and voila! You now have a gorgeous centerpiece that you can dig into for a post-party dessert. Try any word you like, such as "congrats," "sweet," or "summer."
