Brielle had so much fun with her paper plate fish craft recently and asked to do more. When Gramma was due for a visit, I decided to let her help Brielle make another craft (or really was it Brielle who helped Gramma?) Together they made a fun watermelon craft for summer!

Watermelon contact paper #KidsCraft perfect for summer! | spotofteadesigns.com

First step: cut a circle out of a green paper plate.

Next, peel a piece of Con-Tact Brand Privacy Film and Liner and stick it to the back of the paper plate.

Love this shot below with one of them helping the other (not really sure which is which) but they both have the same facial expression. :)

Press it down to make sure it’s secure.

Cover the sticky contact paper with red and pink tissue paper squares.



Brielle kept telling Gramma to “squish it up” but Gramma preferred to have them flat.

Punch black shapes (I used a leaf punch) and use a gluestick to adhere them onto your pink and red watermelon center.

Proudly show off your watermelon craft (that apparently, according to Brielle, is good enough to eat!)

This was a fun and easy craft that both Gramma (who claims I took all the creative energy out of her when I was born) and Brielle could do together.

    This technique would be great for making decorations with a stained glass look to hang in the windows….like blue and white to create snowflake designs for winter or round ornaments for the holidays. Fun project!

A while back I worked with @custompictureframes to A while back I worked with @custompictureframes to showcase different DIY ways to use their beautiful frames in different ways in your home. Their new website FINALLY launched and I'm happy to share the first post of mine that's on their blog!

Head to their site to check out how to make this cute clothing line style photo display using screw eyes in a frame.

If you're looking for new frames for the home, see their big selection that you can order in practically any size you need! I have several in my house (in fact they are the only frames we have hung up in our house since moving in 2 years ago).
