materials :
• Plastic Zipper Folder
• 1 Pair of White Shoelaces
• 1 Pair of Green Shoelaces
• Hot Glue Gun
• Sharpie Marker
• White Paint
directions :
1 . Cut a half circle out of the folder ( cut after the zipper in order to close the pencil case ).
2 . Next , staple the ends all around the outer edge of the circle .
3 . Hot glue one green shoelace to the edge of the circle to cover the staples . Next glue the white shoe lace right below the green to give the appearance of the white layer in a watermelon . Do this to both the front and back . Cut off the plastic ends of the shoelaces and use a lighter to burn the frayed ends .
4 . Draw seeds with sharpie and white seeds in paint at random to make it look just like a watermelon . Then you ’ re done !
Tip : For a different fruit simply swap out the folder colors and shoelaces . For example use a yellow folder with white and green shoelaces for a lemon case . Using the base of this craft , use felt paper to design anything you want such as a soccer ball , baseball , or even a moon .
