How to Make a Watermelon Basket Party Decoration Recipe - Step 7

Cut notches into watermelon.
• Begin at the base of the heart and carve a sawtooth border around the rim of the watermelon using a sawing motion.
• Think ahead to get the points even. Begin on either side of the bottom of the heart point and meet on the far left and right sides.
• A sharp serrated knife is good for this task. If you do not have one, use a small, sharp, thin-bladed knife.
