There is a book out there with watermelon carving designs
1 tealight candle
1 large glass plate
Cut bottom of watermelon so it can stand on plate and scoop out watermelon (I used the watermelon from inside in fruit salad for shower). Attached stencil to front of watermelon, use toothpick to poke holes in row as to where you will cut. Take off stencil and you will see a dot to dot layout of the picture just carve away. Put a tea light inside.
Note: you can not do this in advance as the rind starts to wither as a pumpkin would. Looks cool on table.

This is gorgeous - what a fun idea - and a different twist on the "watermelon boat"!
