Watermelon makes me think of summer! Get creative with one of these 12 inspirational watermelon crafts – so fun and festive!

I have to admit, I don’t really love watermelon (the actual fruit). I just don’t enjoy the taste! But that doesn’t mean I don’t love watermelon in other ways
There’s something about the red and green with little black seeds that makes the cutest pattern when it comes to crafts! I squeal every time I see watermelon crafts, and my guess is if you are reading this post that you do too.
Watermelon DIY Projects

1. DIY Watermelon Bowl

The watermelon pattern on the outside of the fruit is actually hard to get right, but Allison nailed it.
2. Watermelon Tote Bag

I love that you don’t have to be accurate with dyeing to be successful at this tote (b/c I’m not the best dye-er in the world).
3. Painted Watermelon Box

This craft is pretty brilliant, and all you need is a wood box and some paint.
4. Watermelon Mason Jar

Even mason jars can get a watermelon makeover – and Angie has the video how-to.

Plain, white slip ons get an awesome summer makeover.

Add a cute watermelon applique to hand towels – no sewing required.
8. Watermelon Tie Dye Shorts

Watermelon shorts are easy to create with pink and green fabric dye, and I love the addition of the green tie on the opposite leg!

These soaps look like they might be difficult to create, but they are actually easy with the great tutorial!
10. Make a Wallet Watermelon

If you are looking for something that says fruit AND fashionable, make a watermelon purse out of faux leather and rhinestones.

I once bought a house that had some green striped wall paper in the kitchen. I like red and decided to decorate my kitchen in watermelon theme. It has grown now from that beginning to 3 kitchens later quite a menagerie. I have painted some wood bowls to look like watermelon as well as wood plates, one with a chip that made it look like a bite out of watermelon. Love watermelon, the fruit and the decor. Thanks for the cute ideas.
