DIY Watermelon Hat

Materials:

Straw sun hat
Acrylic paint (pink, green, and light green)
Black paint marker
Foam brush

Instructions:

1. Using a foam brush, paint the hat pink. You can mix the acrylic paint with a little water to create a wash that is easier to spread.
2. Paint the brim of the hat light green, and the very edge a darker green.
3. Wait until dry. Draw seeds with the black paint marker or with black acrylic paint and a brush. You can sketch them out with a pencil first, if desired.
