Circus Elephant Watermelon Carving and Clown Face Vegetable Platter

We recently attended a circus-themed family reunion and were tasked with coming up with festive treats to fit the theme. Check out this fabulous circus elephant watermelon carving that we turned into a fruit-filled centerpiece and a colorful clown face vegetable platter to go with it.


Creating the elephant out of watermelon was not too challenging. Cut about 1/3 of the watermelon off at one end. Scoop out the meat and use that section of the watermelon rind to cut out your trunk and ears. I cut the trunk so that it wrapped around the area where the vine was attached to the melon and then cut the ears from the two sections left over.


We used long wood skewers to attach the trunk and ears to the melon (you'll have to cut the inner part of the ears to fit flush against the melon.) We used blueberries for the eyes. Raiding the craft supplies box, we fashioned a head dress out of feathers, felt, ribbon scraps and a repurposed blue medal ribbon.

Have you made an awesome watermelon carving? I'd love to see your creations in the comments below!

Hello Everyone I want to quickly use this medium to share a testimony on how i was directed to a Legit and real illuminati member who have transformed my life from grass to grace, from being poor to a rich woman who can now boast of a healthy and wealthy life without stress or financial difficulties. After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the illuminati. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life
