  Step 1

  This was a smallish round watermelon, so I cut a wedge from the top center down to the middle and across. See what looks best for your particular size and shape watermelon. Keep the part you remove - you will be using this for your handle later.

  If your melon does not have a flat spot on the bottom to rest on, slice a thin layer off so it stays put - being careful not to cut into the red part.

  Step 2

  If you would like melon balls in your salad instead of chunks, use your melon baller now to remove the watermelon flesh. Then use the baller or a spoon to scrape out the rest of the watermelon so it's even all around with a layer of red melon still attached for color.
  Do the same to the removed piece of melon.

  Step 3

  I drew a scalloped edge on the hood part of the "baby carriage" with a dry erase marker (it wipes off more easily than sharpie) and used a thin knife to cut along the lines. (A thin knife cuts smooth curves much more easily than a thick or surated one)

  Step 4

  Draw your handle like so and cut it out very carefully, inside portion first.

• 

  Step 5

  Attach using toothpicks. Use scissors to snip off any excess toothpick so that they are flush with the melon.

• 

  Step 6

  Using the same toothpick technique, attach orange slice wheels with grapes in the center.

  Step 7

  Fill your baby carriage with your choice of fruit!
