Looking for new ideas for holiday fruit and vegetable carvings? Readers and students have kindly sent me photos of their creations and perhaps they can serve as inspiration for you too.

There are many red and green fruits and vegetables available that are perfect for creating holiday fruit and vegetable carvings. Get in the Christmas spirit with red and green chili peppers, radishes, green onions, watermelons and more!

You can see more remarkable examples of joyful holiday carving ideas in my Festive Holiday Food Garnishes blog.

Stunning Holiday Fruit and Vegetable Carvings

Evelyn Formentera sent this photo of a lovely vegetable bouquet of red and green peppers, which she made for her daughter’s bridal shower, with the following words:

I wanted to share with you some of the carvings I did for my daughters bridal shower. Your carvings were an inspiration to my carvings. Thank you for your time.”

Although this was made for a bridal shower, this bouquet made by Evelyn Formentera would make a striking Christmas bouquet with it’s vibrant red and green colors.

Anna Tidwell’s leek bow is much like a bow you would find on top of a Christmas package and is a great example of holiday fruit and vegetable carvings. You can learn this carving technique in my Vegetable and Fruit Carving 101 Course for beginners.

Check out this beautiful radish bouquet carved by Lino Hermano. The Radish Lotus Flower Bouquet is taught in the Vegetable and Fruit Carving Course for Beginners and can be found as an individual DVD in our shop.

The reds and greens in this radish bouquet make it a festive centerpiece for your holiday celebration.

Holiday Fruit and Vegetable Carvings Featuring Watermelons

Kevin Cooper’s watermelon carving of booties or stockings could be used for a baby shower or for Christmas. The baby booties reminds me of stocking hanging on the mantel in anticipation of Santa Claus and the leaves are reminiscent of poinsettias.

Hang your stockings with a watermelon carving, like this holiday fruit and vegetable carvings example by Kevin Cooper.

Jenny McNamara shared this wonderful jingle bells watermelon carving photo with me on my Facebook page. For a first attempt at a Christmas design, she did an absolutely wonderful job!

You can learn to carve watermelon designs like this with my Carving Letters and Words lesson.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas filled with festive holiday fruit and vegetable carvings!

What Customer/Students are Saying about Nita’s Lessons

“I have just started my little event decorating business. This is a passion of mine which with your help I am trying to pursue. At first as you might remember, I was skeptical in purchasing the program, I am in my second week and from the minute I received my tools I started and I have never been happier.

This is the best thing I did for my career. Your videos are simple, clear and excellent. I wish you the best of luck and thank you for being honest . You deliver what you promised and in this day and age, that is extremely valuable, to come across someone who delivers what she promised , and much more. I pray for your success, you have the skills and you deserve it.

….If people do some research on line (like I did) they would realize that your program is “The Best” there is….. More power to you Nita, your family should be very proud of you. I am so satisfied that you can post what ever I wrote and use it in your blog or advertising in any shape or form you need it. You have my blessing and authorization. You make me proud, as a woman.”

“I am happy to share with you some of my latest projects, some of which you teach in your videos. The unique tea set and all other objects in the picture are all made out of fruits and vegetables. I hope you enjoy them.

The green cup is made from a mini honeydew melon, the red one from a beet, the kettle from papaya, the plates from pumpkin and turnip, the napkin from turnip.”
