How about making a summery watermelon out of origami? You can use it for summer wall displays, Tanabata, festival decorations, and many other scenes.

It’s very easy to make! First, fold a red sheet of origami paper in half, cut a green sheet into a long thin strip, and glue the green strip along the bottom of the red paper to create the watermelon rind.

Next, accordion-fold the red paper and tape one side to hold it in place—that’s it! Use a black pen or stickers to add the seeds.

You can also thread string or ribbon through it to make a cute decoration.

Give it a try!

Easy! Let’s make watermelon you’ll want to eat in summer 🍉＾＾ Our eldest son in 2nd grade starts summer vacation tomorrow 🌻 We don’t have any long trips planned for now, but we’re thinking of enjoying lots of classic summer activities like catching stag beetles, going to a nearby pool, playing in the river, watermelon splitting, and getting shaved ice＾＾ I was so happy that so many people checked out yesterday’s post on how to make a stag beetle 🥰 Thanks to your lovely requests, today I posted how to fold a “watermelon 🍉”! Half-cut watermelon, quarter-cut watermelon. Red watermelon, yellow watermelon—please make your favorite versions ❤️ I think they’ll look super cute displayed together with yesterday’s stag beetle! I also tried making a yellow watermelon, and it turned out really cute 🥰 For the yellow watermelon, I used check-pattern origami for the rind. Note: You can find this at DAISO＾＾ Lately I’ve been getting messages from followers saying, “I tried making it!” and it makes me so happy and motivated! Please feel free to DM or comment, “I made it! 🙌” I’m waiting to hear from you🥰 +———————————————+ I’m Sachi-mama, raising three boys ages 7, 5, and 1—chaotic mom life in full swing ❀´- I share play ideas and easy crafts with kids using 100-yen items, nature finds, and recycled materials.

Here’s an easy watermelon idea you can make with origami.

Prepare green and red origami paper.

First, let’s make the rind with the green sheet.

Fold the paper in half twice to form a smaller square, then open it up and use the creases to fold all four corners toward the center.

Open the folded parts again, then fold each corner along the crease lines and make a second, tighter fold (a wrap fold).

Repeat for the remaining three corners.

Next, fold the four remaining white corners inward to match the width of the wrap folds.

Now use the red origami paper.

Up to folding all four corners to the center, the steps are the same.

From there, fold each of the four corners inward by about 2 cm.

Layer the two pieces and glue them together, and your watermelon is complete.

Try different shapes like a half-cut or quarter-cut and have fun!
