These Dollar Tree Watermelon Crafts are so fun to make and easy too! Using mostly Dollar Tree products, these watermelon themed pieces are just the thing to welcome in summer!
Farmhouse Watermelon Sign
You will need:
- Vertical sign from Dollar Tree
- White chalk or acrylic paint
- Red, brown and green acrylic paint
- Dollar Tree sweet summer ice cream cone sign
- Dollar Tree twine
- black and brown permanent marker
- Buffalo check ribbon (optional – I had leftover ribbon from Hobby Lobby from Christmas – Dollar Tree burlap ribbon would look cute too)
- Glue gun
Remove the heart from the sign and paint with several coats of white paint
Glue the ribbon around the bottom and top of the sign. Wrap the twine several times around the top and bottom of the sign secure with glue gun. Print out Sweet Summer on computer paper using “The Skinny” font from Dafont.com (it’s free). Cut out the words and glue the paper on using a glue stick. I like to have my signs look rustic so I went over the sign with a dry brush dipped in a little brown paint.
Paint the ice cream cone as above. Decorate with seeds using a black marker and ice cream cone lines using a brown marker.
Attach ice cream cone sign with a glue gun to the front of the panel.
You will need:
- Wood box from Dollar Tree
- Dollar tree plaid ribbon
- Red, white and green acrylic paints
- Pencil
- Dollar Tree twine
- Letter stickers (mine were from Michael’s but Dollar Tree has stickers too)
Turn box upside down. Paint the top of the box red
Then paint the middle slat white and bottom green
Using a pencil, make lines in between the slats
Place stickers on the box so they look like book titles
Tie a ribbon around the books and wrap twine around the box a few times.
