WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Foam Sheets (which you can buy on Amazon or at a local craft store)

Scissors

Craft Glue

Wood Skewers or lollipop Sticks

WHAT TO DO

  1. Start by cutting out a half circle from one of your foam sheets. You can do this by tracing a small bowl and then cutting the circle in half or just free handing it. Then cut a smaller half circle, from a different color foam sheet. This will be the inner ‘melon’. Next, cut some small seed shapes from foam.
  2. Once all the cutting is finished, it’s time to start glueing everything together. Using a basic craft or school glue (strong glues like super glue may eat through the foam, which is why I’m recommending basic craft glue). Glue the smaller melon shape onto the larger melon shape and then glue the foam seeds on in a haphazard pattern.
  3. Once the glue is completely dry, flip your melons over and glue a short wooden skewer or lollipop stick onto the back. Wait for it to dry.

AND THEN

Poke into a cupcake or cake and you’re ready to celebrate summer.
