Supplies

  • one half of a watermelon.
  • spoon or ice cream scoop.

The 1st step is to cut the watermelon in half making sure the edge is flat, then using the ice cream scoop or a spoon clean the inside of the watermelon and SAVE what you remove, this can be used to make some water or anything else.

​Decorating the Planter
