Watermelon bowl

Who knew your serving bowl was grown on a vine! A watermelon bowl is a fun table decorating idea.

Highlight your serving table with this watermelon bowl which is ideal for serving fruit salad. Create your bowl one of two ways:

• One large oval watermelon bowl - Cut your melon lengthwise a two inches off-center, leaving a 'handle' for visual effect. Remove your watermelon innards with a melon baller.
• Round shaped watemelons - Repeat the above with round shaped melons to create smaller 'basket' shaped serving bowls!

Create a watermelon bowl for these themes!

• Basket theme - Create the 'basket' version of this idea.
• Garden theme - A melon bowl is a natural fit for this theme.
• Hawaiian baby shower - Watermelons may not be native to Hawaii, but they're close enough!
