Hello friends! I took a break from other projects and made an upcycled watermelon magnet. I know it doesn't help anyone else, but crafting helps me process. I've been watching a lot of videos from people on social media who are there, and uplifting videos of protests too. Sending love to everyone suffering in Palestine right now.
So, the base material I cut out from some of that plastic foam they use in place of Styrofoam in packages a lot these days:
Then I sewed the red and green embroidery type thread:
Then I used every green and nearly every red button in my button tin, with green thread for the green buttons and black for the red buttons to look like seeds:
Then I superglued on that last green bead since I ran out of buttons, and some magnets onto the back.
And there is my watermelon magnet! ✌️🍉
Thanks for reading and may everyone have a peaceful day. 💚
Oh, and happy Ramadan to all who celebrate it! I don't personally, but I hope it brings some peace for everyone. May you have a blessed holiday. <3
