Variety of crafts from watermelon seeds

There are many ideas for making watermelon seed crafts. Such works can not only be attributed to an exhibition in a school or kindergarten, but also to decorate the interior of your home. We will tell you about what crafts can be made from watermelon seeds with your own hands in the article.

Before starting work on the craft, first of all, you need to collect the required amount of watermelon seeds, and then prepare them. This is not difficult to do. The seeds must be thoroughly rinsed in water so that they do not stick during the manufacture of the craft, and then discarded in a colander to get rid of excess water.

When all the excess water is gone, sprinkle the seeds onto a dry paper towel or towel. Give the material time to dry completely. If the seeds are not completely dried, then soon they will begin to mold.

There are many ideas for making crafts from watermelon or melon seeds. For example, from this material you can make a panel in the form of a sunflower with your own hands.

For this craft you will need:

• a large number of watermelon seeds;

• scissors;

• compass;

• simple pencil;

• a sheet of thick cardboard;

• hot glue;

• glue gun;

• dry autumn leaves.

Having prepared all the necessary materials, you can get to work.

First of all, we draw a circle of any diameter with the help of a compass on cardboard. So that later the craft can be attached to the wall, you need to make a hole in the circle.

With a pencil, mark on the cardboard the area of ​​the middle of the sunflower, that is, the place where the seeds will be.After that, we start filling in this area. To fix the seeds on the cardboard, you must use a glue gun.

After that we make sunflower petals. To do this, select beautiful yellow leaves, cut off their "legs" and lay them out in a circle, fixing them with a glue gun.

It is not difficult to make a hand-made article on the theme of "Autumn" in the form of a hedgehog. Such work may well be attributed to a kindergarten or school for an exhibition.

For crafts you will need:

• watermelon seeds;

• a sheet of cardboard;

• plasticine;

• scissors;

• simple pencil.

To begin with, we outline the contours of the hedgehog on cardboard and cut it out, thus obtaining the basis for future crafts. After that, we fill the base with plasticine, while not touching the area in which the muzzle will be located.

After that, stick the watermelon seeds into the plasticine. To make the craft beautiful, the seeds must be placed close to each other, while they must "look" in the same direction. This way you should fill the entire area covered with plasticine. As a result, you should get a hedgehog needles.

Now we form the face of a hedgehog from plasticine: a nose, eyes and a mouth. The craft is ready!

You can also make simple decorations from watermelon seeds. Despite all the apparent simplicity of such a craft, the work on it is rather painstaking. To make such a decoration, you need to make a small hole in the middle in each watermelon seed and stretch a fishing line or thread through it. If desired, such a craft can be diversified with bright large beads or beads, placing them somewhere between the seeds.

You can also make many interior items from watermelon seeds with your own hands. For example, a candlestick.

For work you will need:

• base for a candlestick;

• seeds from a watermelon;

• glue gun and hot glue;

• paint and varnish.

Initially, we glue the base for the candlestick with seeds, while trying to place them close to each other, avoiding gaps. After that, we cover the craft with paint, if necessary, and after drying - with varnish. An interesting craft for the interior is ready!

In a similar way, you can make any other element of the interior, for example, a box. The course of work remains the same.

To create such a picture of a cat, you will need the following materials:

• watermelon seeds;

• velvet and corrugated paper;

• scissors;

• yarn;

• glue gun or Moment glue;

• scissors;

• simple pencil.

Having prepared everything you need, you can get to work. First of all, we print and cut out the templates from paper, after which we outline them on velvet paper and cut out. Thus, we get the details that will be the basis.

Each of these parts must be glued along the contour with yarn. This must be done carefully so that later glue does not stick out on the parts.

After that, we start working with watermelon seeds. This is a rather long and painstaking occupation that requires perseverance and patience. Watermelon seeds must be filled in every detail, while placing them close to each other.

Having finished with this, we fasten all the details with glue and decorate the cat's face using beads or beads. Almost ready! It remains to arrange the craft in a frame and hang it on the wall.
