Cool Watermelon Costume

I made this Homemade Watermelon Costume for my son. It’s simple enough to do. I folded a yard of red fabric in half and cut a semicircle. I did the same to a yard of cotton batting. I stitched together the two pieces and cut out a hole just big enough for my son’s head. Then cut a slit on one side to make sure my son’s head would fit through the hole. Then I decorated the red poncho with light and dark green fabric, then cut out seeds from black fabric.

Then as a finishing touch, I stitched red ribbons to each flap of the slit so the poncho can be secured at the neck. Simple!
