A cute little Watermelon buddy!
I was making Fondasaurusrex's Simple Felt Strawberries and trying out different sizes, when I looked at all my half-circles and thought of watermelons. So I cut two to shape and made one :D
Also, I apologize for the crappy picture quality! I was just taking them on my phone ^^;

You Will Need
-
Step 1
First of all, what you'll need!
-Red felt
-Black sharpie/Fabric marker/Fabric paint
-Scissors
-Sewing Needle
-Thread [preferably red]
Also, if you *want*, green felt. -
Step 2
Here we go!
Cut a pretty good-shaped circle, I traced it from a little perfume bottle, you could use anything, cups, bowls, cans, or just free-hand it! -
Step 3Now, cut it in half!
-
Step 4before I did this, I drew on some seeds and a cute little "=D" face, its easier now so I recommend that. Just make sure your drawings are on the inside for now!
Now, hold the two pieces together, I used pins for mine, I would if you make one too big. -
Step 5Now, start sewing. I used the blanket stitch, I'm sure others would work though. Make sure you leave some open for the stuffing!!
-
Step 6Once done with the stuffing, sew up the opening. It should look like the picture
-Please excuse the extra string, I forgot to cut it off xD -
Step 7At this point, I realized that watermelons had green skin, oops!
well, I couldn't sew on green felt, as you see its VERY small.
So out comes the handy-dandy sharpie!
If you want to do green felt, I suggest you make it at least times bigger than mine.
I would probably sew it on around step 3.
