Summer Craft: DIY Paper Plate Watermelon Flower Hanger

Hi everyone! I'm excited to show you a fun and easy craft. Today, we will be making a summer watermelon floral hanging design using a paper plate. This DIY project is easy to create and fun to welcome the summer season. You'll make this watermelon floral hanging design to display your artificial flowers creatively. It's also a great way to use any extra paper plates you may have lying around and aren't sure what to do with. You may have extras from a birthday party or a BBQ. If you're ready, let's get started creating your floral hanging design!

- Paintbrush

- Artificial flowers

- Paper plate (any size you prefer)

- String or craft twine

- Scissors

- Hot glue

Optional-Hole Puncher

Start by cutting the paper plate in half.

Use a darker green paint to cover the bottom area of the plate. Let it dry between each coat of paint.

Continue applying paint to each area of the plate. Then, add the lighter green and red paint. For the lighter green, mix the darker green with the lighter green to create the color.

Use a smaller paintbrush to create seeds on each section

Apply hot glue to the inner section of one side of the plate and press the other half over it to create an opening in the middle. Attach the string or twine using hot glue. If you have a hole puncher, you can punch two holes at both ends of the hanger to insert and tie off the string. Press the string in place using hot glue.

Add artificial flowers to the center of your design. If you find it difficult to insert the flowers, you can use a foam block cut to size to fit between the plate sections. When adding the flowers, distribute the weight evenly to keep the design level when hanging.

I hope you enjoyed this enjoyable DIY project. It's a fun way to display your flowers. Thank you for visiting and creating with me.

I look forward to seeing you soon. ♡
