Here’s a quick tutorial of how I turned the outline bow from @Zindee into a Watermelon 🍉 I know it was super fast but let me know if you have questions!
Bows & watermelon are so trendy right now so I decided to combine the two! I always make the joke that you can turn any acrylic blank shape into a summer shape by making it into a watermelon. I didn’t realize the glitter I used was a Wildcard Wednesday exclusive but there’s so many great pinks to choose from!
Turning craft projects into seasonal themes is always a delightful way to keep ideas fresh and engaging. When I first tried making a watermelon-themed bow, I found it surprisingly easy to repurpose any acrylic blank shape by adding iconic watermelon colors and glitter effects. Using bright pinks, greens, and black accents for the seeds created an eye-catching summer vibe. One trick that enhanced my project was selecting a glitter that complemented the watermelon palette perfectly; in my case, a special Wildcard Wednesday exclusive pink glitter made all the difference. I recommend experimenting with different glitter finishes—from matte to holographic—to achieve a custom look. Also, layering the colors in thin coats avoids clumping and results in a smooth, polished appearance. For those interested in making badge reels or accessories, this watermelon bow design is versatile and trendy, especially popular among crafters on TikTok and Instagram. Pair it with summer outfits or gift it as a thoughtful handmade accessory. Don’t hesitate to personalize the size or shape of your bow to fit different uses—from keychains to phone charms. Finally, the crafting community is incredibly supportive; sharing your creations with hashtags like #badgereelmaker, #easycrafts, and #diy can connect you with others who love combining seasonal themes with everyday craft projects. Whether you’re crafting for fun, gifts, or small business ideas, watermelon-themed designs are guaranteed to add a splash of summer cheer.
