Creations, Watermelon Chargers
Last summer we painted watermelons
and made some fun glasses
Let’s paint some watermelon chargers
$2 white chargers from Hobby Lobby
A lazy susan is great for painting dishware, spin and go
A mix of pink and red makes a pretty watermelon color
Yellow and green for the rind
Put the paint in a small well next to each other and let it blend on your brush. Use a flat square brush and make short overlapping strokes all around the edge
When pink is dry
Add some seeds with short black random strokes
Be sure to come back next week and see these table top, and there might just be a watermelon apron giveaway!
Nothing says summer like watermelon!
You can see the watermelon table and basket tutorial here

Did you paint the small trays also? Where did the small watermelon oblong bowls come from?
Great projects.

hi Judy, No I didn’t paint the trays, I got them several years ago at Old Time Pottery and the bowls I’ve had forever, sorry! I have seen a bunch of watermelon stuff at Christmas Tree Shoppe, so try there if you have near you, or just paint your own! >

What fun summer chargers Jenna! I’ve been eyeing the personal watermelons in the grocery store. I think we might need one on the menu for Memorial Day 🙂
