How to fold an origami watermelon slice

A red square folds into a wedge with a white rind along the top, and a green strip behind it makes the skin. Draw the black seeds.

You need: 1 red square, half a green square the same size, and a glue stick. Easy, 7 steps, about 5 minutes.

Steps

  1. Slice: fold down the rind. Start with the red square, red side up. Fold the top edge down a little, so a thin white band shows along the top.
  2. Slice: make the wedge. Fold the two lower corners behind, creasing from each top corner down to the middle of the bottom edge.
  3. Skin: new sheet. Set the slice aside. Take the green half square, white side up, lying long.
  4. Skin: fold it in half. Fold the bottom edge up to the top edge.
  5. Skin: fold in half again. Fold the bottom edge up to the top edge again, to make a thin strip.
  6. Skin: slant the ends. Fold the two bottom corners of the strip behind, just a little, so the ends slope in like the slice.
  7. Glue on the slice. Glue the slice on the strip, so just a thin line of green shows above the white rind.

Juicy!

Draw black seeds on the red part.
