Carrot Water Lettuce Carving Method

Material

  • Two large carrots

Equipment

  • Sharp-pointed knife
  • Carving knife

Directions:

  • Wash and peel the carrot. Cut it into a piece 1½ inches long and another piece 3 inches long. Trim the shorter piece to give it the shape of a turnip. Cut longitudinal grooves all around the surface of the longer piece.
  • With the tip of a knife, cut curved grooves in the surface of the turnip shaped piece. This will be the core of the flower and the petals will be fitted into the grooves. The grooves should be positioned so that petals will overlap.
  • To form the petals, cut the longer piece into thin slices. Soak these in water so they will curl nicely.
  • Insert the leaves into the grooves on the core, working from the base to the top.
