Directions:
- First take ONE large pink cupcake liner and flatten it out with your hands.
- Next take that flattened pink cupcake liner and fold it into thirds/a triangle shape, to create the slice {and the inside flesh} of the watermelon.
- Glue it down, in the center of a single sheet of white cardstock paper.
- Now trim down that particular cardstock piece to be placed on another colored cardstock paper card front.
- Use the glue stick to attach the two paper pieces together.
- Now grab the wiggle eyes.
- Secure those in place, to bring the watermelon slice to life.
- Take the black Sharpie marker and draw on a simple smile under the wiggle eyes.
- Follow that up with a few black dots for the “watermelon seeds” on the cupcake liner.
- Now grab your green Sharpie marker and draw on curved rind design, just above the cupcake liner.
- To finish off the Cupcake Liner Watermelon Valentine Card – write a cheesy Valentine’s Day saying on the outside, as well as in the inside.
- Add other embellishments you see fit {maybe some heart stickers} and display/gift away proudly!
