Was uploading some photos and found some of these from a few weeks back. Thought would be fun to put some photos up =)
Baby in a pram, a.k.a. Fruit bowl! It is actually a lot easier than it looks. I actually didn't believe it will be quite this easy, but got some assurance from a friend who loaned me her knife and a coffee scooper for my craft. Thanks!! =)
Anyway, all you need are these items:
* Longish watermelon (I had to made do with a rounded size)
* 1 Wooden skewer (for drawing on the watermelon)
* Toothpicks (use them to prop the head and wheels and for the eyes)
* A not too sharp knife (Trust me.. Don't get a blunt or too sharp... I had a deep nick with a not too sharp knife.. I'm a klutz like that!)
* Melon scooper (to scoop those flesh into balls. If you don't have a melon scooper, use a coffee scoop.. or just use a spoon and scoop out those darn flesh)
* Spoon (to scoop all those flesh out)
* Pacifier
Fruits such as:
* Green and red grapes
* Cherries
* Strawberries
* Physallis
* Small honeydew/rockmelon (for the baby's head. I couldn't find a rockmelon, had to made do with a honeydew)
* Blueberries (at least 2 for the eyes)
* An orange (4 slices - Make sure they are slightly thick)
* Basically any fruits which are in season!
 |
| First find your watermelon and cut the bottom off (so, it could stand firmly by itself) |
 |
| Next step was drawing on it with a skewer.. I decided to put a heart on the handle, I'm a romantic like that ;) |
 |
| Then, off you go with the knife. It's a lot easier to poke and then cut with the knife as the mark left by the wooden skewer is quite visible |
 |
| Looks like a blood bath, aye? =) |
 |
| But hey! Do you like the scallops around the pram? It's quite sturdy as well, cos the bottom is evened out |
 |
| Back view.. That's the handle area |
 |
| The final product. Skinned the little honeydew head. Used toothpicks so the blueberries could stick as the eyes. Cut a little hole for the mouth so you could poke the pacifier in. Scatter some fruits (watermelon and honeydew/rockmelon) inside the pram. Then, prop the head onto the fruits in the pram. With the head, just use a couple of skewers at the back into the watermelon husk so, it could sit up slightly |
 |
| Have a friend help you scatter all the fruits around the pram. |
 |
| We added the orange wheels with a toothpick so they could stand upright |
 |
| Looks like a baby in pram surrounded by flowers.. |
Had quite a fun time making it! Have a lovely week!
