Designing The Brick Front Of A Wishing Well Centerpiece

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. When you've got most of the flesh out, then you just want to clean it out. You can take a spoon and go straight down around the edge just to get that as cleaned off as possible and then discard whatever. Scrape that out. It's very wet. You'll just dump that out. Always being careful of the arch section. Now, I will show you how to make the brick sections. We'll take our knife and just make little indents about an inch and a half wide all the way around. Then we're going to make a parallel line to the top. Slice in only about 1/4 inch. It's going to be an inch and a half from the top parallel. You're going to go all the way around the watermelon. I'm going to show you just around the front section. The knife should go in only about a 1/4 inch. Then at an angle you're going to cut just about a 1/4 inch worth of the green outer layer right to that line that you've already made. It's almost like a little V section. Straight in and then a diagonal in. You get a white line going across. Then just pull that out. Now, where you've made your notches, you're going to do that again. You're going to make a cut into the outer green part of the watermelon about a 1/4 inch. Then cut diagonally and kind of pull that out like this. Pull those pieces out all the places where you notched. Then do another roll. Cut about an inch and a half down from this one. Remove about 1/4 inch of the skin all the way around. Now, your other brick sections are going to be placed off set from the first ones. That's our brick front to our wishing well."
