Fun Ways To Carve A Watermelon

Sharing is caring!

Summer, to me, means a few very essential things. For one, I can’t get through the summer without ample pool and beach time. Then there’s the ice cold cocktails at happy hour. (Or, a not-quite-as-fun pregnancy mocktail this summer.)

You can’t forget the barbecues, or the late nights sitting under the stars, or even the local outdoor concerts. And, as the title of this post might hint at, watermelon. I LOVE watermelon. To me, watermelon screams summer. If you’re feeling crafty or want to impress your family and friends at your next cookout, check out these fun ways to carve a watermelon.

I purposely chose many ‘beginner’ carvings, as I am intimidated by the more intricate carvings I found. If you’re feeling up to the challenge, be sure to check out these websites for inspiration! Watermelon Friends | Woman’s World | Watermelon.org
