Print out the Free Watermelon Template. Using your template, trace out your shape (x2) onto lightweight cardboard then cut it out. Cut out long strips for the sides and bottom. Just pick how thick you want your sides and bottom to be.
Using masking tape, begin to tape your watermelon piñata together. Cut a slot in the top if you plan on filling your piñata with anything. Mine was just a keepsake, so it didn’t need a hole.
You’ll want to add tissue paper to the bottom of your Watermelon. Cut a strip of Green Tissue Paper Sheets and secure in place with Zip Dry Glue.
Using your Shred Scissors start cutting your streamers to make your fringe. I started with Green Jumbo Streamers, then used Green Apple Streamers next, followed by White Paper Streamers. You can choose between Pink Paper Streamers or Hot Pink Jumbo Streamers for the base of the watermelon. Starting at the bottom, glue your streamers in place one row at a time. Make sure you overlap them as you go.
Cut out seeds using 12″ x 12″ Black Cardstock and apply using Zip Dry Glue. I am a lazy crafter so I used black vinyl and cut a bunch of seeds out with my Silhouette machine. Just place them on your watermelon and you are done!
