My friend Laura Kelly is an amazing artist and has designed these awesome Wacky Watermelon Printables with some of her adorable watermelon art.  I cut them up and used them to decorate my party table! Laura Kelly Wacky Watermelon
While I was at the store today, I saw that Pillsbury now has a Funfetti Gluten Free Sugar Cookie mix!   OMG, they are delicious!   How cute are these watermelon cookies?!  I baked them, cut the tops off of some to make them look like a watermelon half, and then cut two sides off to make angles for a wedge!   Not realizing it, I picked up the Pillbury Sugar Free Vanilla frosting!   The kids had no clue and there were no complaints!!!  I love how they came out! cookies
Using Kunin felts, I made this adorable Watermelon Banner!  Click the photo below to see how I made it! watermelon banner

Until next time….

Kunin Felt Watermelon Banner

In honor of National Watermelon Day on Monday, August 3rd, I made this adorable Watermelon Banner with Kunin Felt! watermelon banner
Using eCals2, I designed a half and a wedge watermelon slice.  I made three different layers, one for the rind, one for the white part and one for the red part.   Using my Sizzix Eclips2, I cut the pieces out to use as a template.   felt cutting
Instead of sewing my watermelons together, I used Aleene’s Fabric Fusion.  Super and easy and quick. fabric fusion
Once all of my watermelons were glued together and dried, I used mini clothes pins and red baker twine to hang the watermelon pieces. melons and twine
The watermelon banner is perfect for a watermelon party for any summer fun get together!  My boys will be celebrating National Watermelon Day 2015 with some yummy watermelon, Watermelon Sugar Cookies, Laura Kelly’s Wacky Watermelon Printables and some awesome Lollipops from Lollipics!  Click on the photo below to learn about these goodies!
