Create a unique centerpiece that people will be talking about for years to come by turning a watermelon into a fruit centerpiece. Before you begin, it's important to draw your peacock shape onto the fruit. Use these tips to draw a peacock fruit centerpiece with ease.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Watermelon
  • Black marker

Step1
Choose a small or medium round watermelon. Cut off one end of the watermelon so that the turkey will sit on the table without moving around.
Step2
Draw a half circle on one side of the top of the watermelon using a black waterproof marker.
Step3
Extend the circle so that it becomes a head shape facing to the right. Draw a straight line from the outside of the circle to the middle of the circle so that it begins to form a half circle but do not draw completely to the other side.
Step4
Draw a straight line down so that you have made a turned head, beak and inside of the neck. Go back to the top of the head and extend the outside of the head down the left side so that you form the outside of the neck. You now have the head and neck drawn.
Step5
Extend the line on the left side of the neck until you are about an inch from the bottom of the watermelon. Raise your pen line up from the base on an angle. Curve it to create a wave shape. Create a wave on the right side of the neck so that it matches the left side.
Step6
Turn the watermelon around and find the center of the melon that is directly even with the top of the head. Make an upside down angle like the tip of a triangle directly behind the head. This will be your top peak of the tail feathers.
Step7
Draw three more waves on each side of the watermelon so that all the waves join together and meet in the middle of the back. Make sure the number and placement of waves is equal on each side of the watermelon.
