How do you make a Watermelon Purse from Felt?

STEP ONE

To begin the No-Sew Watermelon Purse, gather all supplies. Download, print and cut out the WATERMELON PURSE PATTERNS below. Trace the base pattern onto a sheet of Kelly Green Kunin Classic Felt, 9″ x 12″ Craft Cuts that has been folded in half, using the MONO Twin Permanent Marker. I love drawing and tracing with the MONO Twin Permanent Marker from Tombow because it has a large bullet tip and a small extra fine tip.

STEP TWO

Cut out the watermelon base with pinking shears for fabric along the cut lines leaving the fold in tact, so you will end up with a purse or bag shape.

STEP THREE

Attach the sides of the watermelon base with E6000 Fabri-Fuse Liquid Fabric Glue. Set aside to allow glue to dry.

STEP FOUR

Glue green rick rack around the outside edge of the watermelon to mimick the markings on the skin. E6000 Fabri-fuse liquid fabric glue is extremely flexible, has stretch, won’t create bumps or bulges, and allows the felt to remain pliable — even after washing. 

STEP FIVE

Trace the watermelon rind pattern onto Apple Green Kunin Classic Felt, 9″ x 12″ Craft Cuts and then cut out with scissors. Attach the watermelon rind to the base with Fabri-Fuse. Set aside to allow glue to dry.

STEP SIX

Trace the watermelon fruit pattern onto Shocking Pink Kunin Classic Felt, 9″ x 12″ Craft Cuts and then cut out with scissors. Attach the watermelon fruit to the rind with Fabri-Fuse. Set aside to allow glue to dry.

STEP SEVEN

Select approximately 12 black buttons in various shapes and sizes to become the watermelon seeds. Attach the buttons to the watermelon with E6000 Fabri-Fuse Liquid Fabric Glue.

STEP EIGHT

Measure and cut a 48″ length of green grosgrain ribbon. Attach each end to the inside top edge of the watermelon purse. This will become the strap or handle of the bag. I wanted the purse to be a cross body, so I made the strap long, but you can make it any length you like.

Quick and Easy Watermelon Bag for Summer

This No-Sew Watermelon Purse made from Kunin Felt went together in about 30 minutes with limited supplies. Get creative and think of other fruits that you can make into a purse or bag – lemon, lime, orange, kiwi, or even an exotic dragon fruit with its shocking pink skin! Kunin Felt is an easy, versatile, and forgiving medium that allows you to create affordable but trendy projects whether you are a beginner or an expert crafter!

Every garden needs a flag! While there are bazillions of them to choose from out there in the shopping world, it is so much more fun (and personal) to make them with felt. Laura at Me and My INKlings has created a DIY Garden Flag with Kunin Felt, which is great for outdoor use because it made from recycled bottles. The colors can withstand the sunshine and stay bright. The material can hold up under all weather conditions. This is a great craft for kids (of all ages)!

There are so many creative things you can make using felt, and it's always a lot of fun! Kids of all ages can make their very own Felt Taco Pouch using a pattern from Lindsay at Artsy Fartsy Mama! This adorable pouch is a fantastic pen or pencil case to take to school or to keep your money safe when used as a wallet.
