My carvings in the past have ranged from the very simple<\/a> to the somewhat challenging<\/a>. This month\u2019s attempt is somewhere near the simple end of the scale. In fact, I\u2019d venture to say it\u2019s probably my easiest carving to date. And, while it may be a cinch to create, it\u2019s also arguably my most attractive creation.<\/p>\n

Seriously\u2014all you really need to do to make a watermelon vase is lop off the top and stick some flowers inside. You don\u2019t even need to remove the watermelon flesh! As simple as that may seem, I\u2019ll still walk you through the process with a few photos.<\/p>\n

\"water<\/p>\n

As always, start with one clean watermelon. You can create your vase with a watermelon of any size (it depends upon how many flowers you plan to put in it). I used a medium-sized watermelon for mine.<\/p>\n

\"water<\/p>\n

Cut a tiny part off of the bottom to create a flat base for your vase to sit on. You can see the tiny sliver I cut off in the photo above. Also cut off the top of the watermelon and scoop out the insides. Don\u2019t worry, I made my top a little straighter after I took this photo.<\/p>\n

\"water<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve scooped out the flesh inside your watermelon (put that aside for eating later!), simply fill your vase with flowers and water, and you\u2019re done! See? I told you this one was simple!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
