Baby Shower Fruit Bassinet

This was the biggest hit of the owl themed baby shower that was thrown for my sister.   
To see the entire shower post click HERE.  
I had seen similar pictures on Pinterest but no instructions.  
So, I just went for it.  I think it turned out super cute!!

(printable instructions)

Supplies needed:

watermelon

cantaloupe

grapes

strawberries

toothpicks

pacifier

*ribbon, if needed 

serving tray or covered cookie sheet

Cut watermelon in half but only 2/3 of the way down lengthwise as shown in the picture.  Scoop out all of the melon and set aside to serve separately.

Cut a cantaloupe in half.  Only used one half for the face.  Clean off seeds and cut off peel.  I used a 1/4 tsp. measuring spoon to core out eyes and hole for pacifier.  Place toothpicks in eye sockets to secure grapes for eyes.  Place pacifier in mouth hole and secure with toothpicks if needed to hold it up.

Place fruit head in watermelon bassinet and surround with fruit.  I added a bow out of ribbon for a little extra decor.  Put watermelon on serving tray or covered cookie sheet and surround with remaining fruit.  I served the watermelon in a separate bowl to the side.  Enjoy!!!!
