Painting the Styrofoam Ball:
Begin by painting the entire Styrofoam ball with green acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Creating the Watermelon Seeds:
Cut small circles out of white cardstock paper and glue them onto the Styrofoam ball using white craft glue. Once all of the circles are in place, use a black felt pen to draw lines around each circle, creating the look of watermelon seeds.
Adding Red Paint:
Use red acrylic paint and a paintbrush to add streaks of red paint onto the Styrofoam ball. This will give it a realistic watermelon look.
Finishing Touches:
Finally, cut small strips of green tissue paper and glue them around the edges of the Styrofoam ball. This will give it a more realistic texture and complete the look of your fake watermelon.
