It's another day with a whole new adventure, so I was going through the internet and i something caught my attention, a DIY on how to make a paper watermelon, it's so easy and I thought it would be fair I share the steps with you guys, permit my choice of colors, atleast it will still look like a watermelon
MATERIALS REQUIRED
• 10cm x 10cm red cardboard paper
• 1cm x 10cm orange/yellow cardboard paper
• 1.5cm x 10cm green cardboard paper
• Glue
We start by, first of all gluing the green cardboard paper to the edges of the red paper, then followed by the yellow one about 1cm away from the green and lastly using a pencil or black pen we draw the black dots of a watermelon as seen below.
We then proceed to the folding part, you can decide to first of all bend the cardboard four time till it turns to 1cm paper, so you can get the lines to fold, or you start the folding process at once using 1cm spacing, you can use a ruler if necessary just to get the lines straight
After the folding aspect is done, we bend the paper into two equal parts as shown below, this is to enable the green and yellow part come together to give you that yummy watermelon look.
And lastly, you add glue In-between the already bent paper, so it will stick together, this part is very tricky as it can spoil the entire work, as well as the glue staining your fingers if you are not careful, well after that your paper watermelon is done and dusted
CONCLUSION
I told you it was simple and easy to try, anyone can make this as a gift for his/her friends or rather still to keep the children busy, when you are trying to work, see you next week with possibly another Do It Yourself Tutorial, Byeeee.
