Ways with Watermelon
Watermelon is so delicious in the summertime,
refreshing and cool…
Eating watermelon is a great way to stay hydrated
It is 91% water, low in fat, and a good source of Vitamin A & C
It can also improve heart health, blood pressure and muscle soreness
I love to eat watermelon simply cut up into bite size pieces
🍉
but it is fun to serve in other ways too~
Cut the whole melon into a basket,
cut up the watermelon and fill the basket with it
See the tutorial here Watermelon Basket
Or how about a grill, perfect for your next BBQ!
The melon is cut in half and scooped out
Small wood skewers hold the lid part way open
and the grill is supported with skewered celery legs
Skewers are also inserted near the top edge
of the bottom half of the melon forming the “grill”
Fruit kebabs are laid on the grill
Serve Watermelon Cupcakes for dessert!
Or a watermelon “cake”
If you’re celebrating a baby’s birthday or having a baby shower,
this baby carriage with the orange baby and pacifier is adorable
These are $2 chargers from Hobby Lobby
that turned into watermelon with paint
Watermelon is great with flowers~
add them to an arrangement with skewers
Or use the melon as a vase
And my very favorite, a blooming watermelon cactus
for Cinco de Mayo!
Put watermelon on your grocery list today!
Note: I saw the 2 cakes, grill and the baby carriage on Pinterest, but they didn’t have source

There is something about watermelon that just screams summer. It’s tasty, pretty, cold and fresh! Love all these ideas and your art, too!
Just the look of a watermelon makes one think of summer.
Happy Sunday, Jenna! Watermelon is the perfect summertime treat! That watermelon cake is beautiful. How fun would that be to make for a celebration. I hope that you have a wonderful week, sweet friend!
I would never think to be so creative with watermelon. I thought the grill was cute until I saw some of the other ideas. They are all great!
What a fun post! I saw a Jack o Lantern on Instagram made from a watermelon with a flower crown and they were calling it “summerween” ;P
cute ideas – thx
Bring on watermelon and creativity!
Oh wow Jenna. Spectacular ways to serve watermelon. Love the watermelon cakes and the baby carriage is so creative. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
Those are some great ideas for different ways to serve watermelon which has so many health benefits. The baby carriage one is a bit weird though.
