Watermelon Basket Floral Arrangement DIY Tutorial

Over the weekend, we had a family BBQ. 

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.

Your first cut out should look like so...

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. I'm not sure she really scooped, but she ate :)

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!
