Watermelon wind chime

Cute! How to make an origami watermelon wind chime (wind)

Wind chimes are a hallmark of summer.

This time, we’re introducing an idea for making a watermelon wind chime out of origami.

Please note that you’ll need origami paper that’s colored on both sides.

First, crease the paper vertically, horizontally, and diagonally so the center becomes the apex, then add the creases again.

Insert a piece of white paper to represent the rind and flesh, and while using the creases as guides, shift the paper sideways as you fold.

Once you’ve formed the watermelon shape, use a pen to draw seed patterns.

Thread a string through and attach a strip of paper to finish.

Display it by a window to feel the arrival of summer.
