Preparation is key
Everything you need is here:

A honeydew melon (for carving);
A bowl (for standing the melon up in);
A pyrex dish (for keeping the delicious melony flesh in for later munching);
A pen (for drawing on the melon with, so a fountain pen is a bad idea);
A knife (for incisions);
A melon baller (for rapid melon flesh removal);
A spoon (for removing seeds, and for slower/more controlled flesh removal).

This is a great idea - I'm an English Teacher in Japan and I want to do something for Halloween for my kids, but I'm still not finding any pumpkins.. I'll use this instead, we've got tons of melons.
