DIY Watermelon Magnets

I’ve been on a watermelon kick, or even just a fruit kick. I mean, I like to eat it too, but in this case I’m talking about making, buying and wearing fruit-inspired things. Something about summertime makes me want to make fruit everything, so I’m really excited to share these simple DIY watermelon magnets!

They’re made out of clay and incredibly easy to whip up. You just roll up a log of colored clay and cut! It’s kind of like cutting up a log of pre-made cookie dough to bake cookies, you know?

Anyway, they’re adorable and the supplies are really cheap – my favorite kind of DIYs! Make them in bulk, bag them up, and they also make a cute gift for friends. These watermelon magnets all currently have a place on the side of my fridge holding up my 94612836 to do lists, and I love how much they brighten up my kitchen!

Time: 15 minutes + bake time

Supplies:

  • Pink polymer clay
  • Green polymer clay
  • Cutting tool or small knife
  • Black marker (I recommend a fine tip Sharpie)
  • Small round magnets
  • E6000 glue or equivalent

How to Make Watermelon Magnets:

  1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees (or according to clay package directions) and line a small baking tray with parchment paper
  2. Take the pink polymer clay and roll it in your hands to soften it. Then roll it into a log about 1 inch around
  3. Using a rolling pin or a cup, roll the green clay out flat, about 2-3 centimeter thick. It is supposed to be quite thin. Then wrap it around the pink log, trim and pinch edges together as needed.
  4. Continue to roll the clay lightly to blend together. You want the log to be one piece with no visible seams, so that it will look nice when cut.
  5. Using your cutting tool (a regular knife will work), cut off 1/4 inch pieces at the end of the log as if you’re cutting a vegetable. Make cuts as clean as possible – you should have disks of watermelon-like clay. Reshape as needed.
  6. Then cut each disk in half and/or in quarters and place on the lined baking sheet
  7. Bake according to package instructions, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  8. Use the black marker to draw small seeds on the watermelon.
  9. Glue small magnets to the back and let the glue dry before using to hang items on your fridge or other magnetic surface.

And there you have it – watermelon magnets! Summer, please don’t leave me!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
