Practical Directions to Help Make a Carved Watermelon Peacock

• Firstly, select a well rounded and a sturdy watermelon since we need to put many beautiful feathers on its back. There is no need for very big ones.

• Next, you need to cut off a rounded slice from the bottom so that the fruit remains sturdy and does not roll off while doing the carving.

• The next step is to sketch out the head and supporting feather structure.

• It should be done in such a way that it starts with a semi circle and comes down with a long neck.

• The plumage should be carved out from high in the back and then descend down low.

• To get the desired affect, we need to make little wavy designs all the way up.

• In the centre of the back, you need to put your finger on the head and siphon it back to get the center.

• You will finally get a beautiful peacock when you carve it along the sketches made on the fruit.

So its not just a health tip, watermelon is a tasty and fun way to give your kids and friends great taste and quietly help them to be healthy. Using a little creativity you can really make it more appealing to the eye as well as the tongue.
