These sponge painted watermelon cards are the perfect summer craft for kids!

Craft Supplies:

  • Pre-made Cardstock Paper Cards
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Adhesive
  • Pink/Green/Black Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Various Small Paint Brushes
  • Brand New Kitchen Sponge {clean/any size}
  • Scissors/Paper Trimmer
  • Scrapbook Stickers/Sharpie Markers

Directions:

  • First trim down your white cardstock paper so it will fit on the front of your pre-made cardstock cards.
  • One piece for each card.
  • Once trimmed down, go ahead and glue those to the front of each card with your adhesive.
  • Repeat for each card you are making.
  • Now grab your kitchen sponge and scissors.
  • Cut out a triangle for your watermelon slice. It can be any size you like, just as long as it’s not bigger than your card.
  • Now grab your paper plate and craft paint.
  • Squirt pink paint on the paper plate.
  • Take your newly made “stamp” and rub it into the pink paint, until it’s completely covered.
  • Then take it and stamp it on the white cardstock.
  • Repeat for each card you are making.
  • Next grab the green and black craft paint.
  • Paint on the watermelon rim and seeds on the stamped design.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.

Extra Craft Tip – instead of a kitchen sponge, try thinking outside the box with your stamp. Use potatoes, apples or craft foam scraps to make your triangle shape.
