Felted watermelon

What do I need? 

- Pink, light green and dark green felt
- Felting needle
- Marseille soap
- Warm water and a bowl

How do I do it?

1. Take a handful of pink felt and squeeze it in your hand.  Add soap and water and roll the felt between your palms until it is a stiff ball.

2. Add a thin layer of light green felt on the ball and poke it with your felting needle until it is attached.

3. Take a very thin layer of the dark green felt and add stripes to the watermelon.

4. Cut a slice with a sharp knife. The watermelon is ready!
