Watermelon Fun!

How to make a cute and fun

watermelon gift bag...

I just love giving "gifts with a theme!" 
 Here is an example of a gift bag, decorated by my daughter and I, adorned with cute little watermelon slices.

Materials needed:

• Green,  red and black card stock paper
• Scissors
• Black crayon or marker and a pencil
• Tape
• Hole punch
• Tag and ribbon(if desired)

How to...

Step 1: Using green card stock, trace(using a cup) a circle on the green paper and cut out.  Then cut the green circles in half.
Using the green semi-circles as a guide, make a smaller semi-circle with red card stock.  Once you have the desired size for the red semi-circle, use it as a template for the others.



Step 2:  Using tape, attach the red semi-circles to the green semi-circles.

Step 3:  Using the hole punch, clip a few(about 3) "bites" out of the top of each watermelon slice.

Step 4:  Decorate!

Using a crayon or marker, draw seeds and smiley faces(if desired.)

~Little hands love to create!~

These adorable items were all purchased at Wal-Mart.

The watermelon cutting knife was the inspiration for the gift.
