I LOVE fresh flowers in my home, so thought I would turn a watermelon into a basket floral arrangement.
Here is my step by step tutorial on how to make your very own
Watermelon Basket Floral Arrangement
Materials:
Giant watermelon
Sharp kitchen knife
pen
floral foam
fresh flowers
1.
To begin, I traced a half circle on both sides of the melon, leaving a two inch strip in between your half circles.
2.
I then began cutting out my half circles with a sharp kitchen knife.
3.
Your first cut out should look like so...
4.
Next, cut our your other section.
5.
And remove.
6.
TADA, a basket.
7.
Now you will scoop out all the watermelon inside and throw it into a fruit salad.
Get the kiddies involved with the scooping.
8.
Basket complete.
9.
Lastly, you will fill the inside of your basket with a large piece of wet floral foam.
10.
Begin cutting down your flowers. I cut my stems in half, and then arranged them how I liked into the floral foam.
THAT'S IT!
A GORGEOUS, and professional looking floral arrangement for your summer party. I plan on bringing these as hostess gifts all summer long.
The PERFECT centerpiece!
Happy Crafting!
