1 Create a cat owl shape from pineapple and melon
Tools required
To create a cat owl from pineapple and melon, you need to prepare the ingredients and tools as follows:
- 1 pineapple
- 1 melon
- 1 lemon
- 1 kiwi
- 1 grape
- 1 knife
- 1 fruit carving knife
- 9 toothpicks
- 1 cutting board
Steps to follow
Step 1: Create the body and legs of the cat owl
First, place the pineapple on the cutting board and use the knife to cut off the tail and head to form the body of the cat owl.
Step 2: Create the legs of the cat owl
Next, cut the lemon in half vertically, and use the fruit carving knife to make jagged edges on each half to form the legs of the cat owl. Then, use toothpicks to secure the legs to the bottom of the body.
Step 3: Make the wings of the cat owl
The cut-off stem that you did earlier, use a knife to cut it in half vertically. Then, insert toothpicks on both sides of the body and attach the pineapple stem to make wings for the owl.
Step 4: Making the owl’s head
Place the melon on the cutting board, proceed to cut off the head and the tail, then peel the skin. After that, use a knife to carve two circular holes on the body to create eye sockets.
Next, insert 2 toothpicks into the eye sockets and attach 2 slices of kiwi. Then, further attach 2 halved grapes to make the “sly” eyes for the owl.
The leftover kiwi you cut into an arrow shape and use a toothpick to attach it between the two eyes to make the nose. That’s it, you have completed the owl’s head.
Step 5: Final touches
Use a toothpick to attach the completed head to the body. Now we have a cute, lively owl to decorate the house for the upcoming Halloween festival.
