One In A Melon - Handprint Watermelon Keepsake

Handprint Watermelon Keepsake

Tell someone they are “one in a melon” with today’s bright and colorful watermelon themed handprint keepsake printable! It’s the perfect keepsake to make this summer in the comfort of your own home!!!

Not only is it great to make during the summer break BUT it’s also a great gift idea to make for someone you think is “one in a melon in your life!”

When you are done creating the watermelon piece with your child, slip it in a pretty frame for displaying or your 12×12 scrapbook album for safe keeping. You could even mail it in a flat envelope to people far away!

And because Glued To My Crafts LOVES their readers, the FREEBIE file below, is completely FREE to you! Just grab it below and add a handprint for the watermelon in the center of the cardstock paper and finish off with painted embellishments!

Happy crafting {and gifting} my crafty friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished paper watermelon creations with us! You can ALWAYS tag us on Facebook or Instagram for easy sharing! I can’t wait to see what you make with your young crafter today! #gluedtomycrafts
