How to Make a Watermelon Basket - Step 2
Measure and mark center of watermelon.
• Place the watermelon with the yellow spot, if any, on the bottom and out of view. Be sure it is in a stable position so it will not roll.
• Measure the diameter of the watermelon.
• Find the center and add 1/2 inch.
• Using a non-toxic marker, mark a line horizontally around the watermelon so you can slice off the top evenly.
• Before cutting, you will need to trace the handle. See next step.
