Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crafter, you'll find this guide helpful for making your own watermelon slice charm in just about 4 minutes.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you start, make sure you have the following items ready:

  • 9 green rubber bands
  • 11 red rubber bands
  • A crochet hook or a Rainbow Loom hook (or equivalent from other brands)
  • Scissors (optional, for trimming)

Step 2: Create the Watermelon Slice

Follow these steps to make your watermelon slice charm:

  1. Start with the Red Bands:

    • Take 11 red rubber bands and stretch them into a crescent shape to form the watermelon slice.
    • Make sure the bands are securely connected to create a solid base.
  2. Add the Green Bands:

    • Take the 9 green rubber bands and place them around the outer edge of the red bands.
    • These will represent the rind of the watermelon. Ensure they overlap slightly with the red bands for a seamless look.
  3. Secure the Bands:

    • Use your crochet hook to pull the ends of the rubber bands through each other to secure the charm.
    • Make sure all bands are tightly connected to avoid any loose ends.
  4. Finish the Charm:

    • Once the bands are secured, gently pull and adjust the shape of the watermelon slice.
    • If necessary, trim any excess bands to achieve a neat finish.

Step 3: Optional - Create a Tray or Other Charms
