Mini Watermelon Slices

Step 1. Cutting Out the Mini WatermelonsFirst upload the mini watermelon pieces 1. Check to make sure the size is correct.

Select all and ungroup.

Next select the dotted lines

and change them from basic cut to score lines

Then select the score lines and the main red piece

Next click on the make it button

Next you will see the prepare screen

Once you have selected your paper size you can click on the continue button

The next screen will be where you will select the type of card stock you are using. If you do not see the material in your material favorites, click on "browse all materials" to find the weight of cardstock that you are using. For example the green Cardstock I used is medium weight, you will need to select "Medium Weight"..
Once you have Design Space set, you are now ready to prepare your mat. I used a brayer when placing the Cardstock on the mat, this helps in making sure that the paper is adhered to the mat and will help in keeping the paper from ripping or moving when it is being cut. 

Next upload the mini watermelon slices pieces 2. Check to make sure the size is correct.

select all and click on ungroup

Next select to the dotted lines

and change them to score lines

Then select the score lines and the green bottom piece of the watermelon slice

Now you are ready to click on make it and the prepare screen will appear

select the mat size and click on continue and do the same as above with selecting the paper weight.

Next upload the wording into design space

select all and ungroup

Next select each set of words and weld them together

now you are ready to click on the make it button

the prepare screen will appear

I spaced the wording out some so it would be easier to separate for each watermelon slice you are creating.

You do not need to mirror the wording if you are using regular vinyl and not HTV.

Click on the continue button and select the type of vinyl you are using

Step 2. Assembling Your Watermelon WedgeFirst taking the Front piece of the slice and the bottom, glue them together.

Next take the back piece

and fold the back piece on the score lines

then glue the top tab to the other side

Next glue the green bottom piece to the back piece

Next fold the tabs on the back piece down

put glue on the tabs and glue the front piece to them

Now that your mini watermelon slice is together, put it aside and work on your panels

Starting with the red panels

put glue on the larger panels on the back

glue the matching black panel to the red panel

do this for all of the red and black panels

next take the green and white pieces

glue the green pieces to the white pieces

Next glue the red panels to the watermelon slice

then glue the rhine pieces to the red panels

Using transfer tape take the wording

and put transfer tape on the top of it so that you can put it on the bottom green panel

put the wording on the green bottom panel and remove the transfer tape

your mini watermelon slices should look like the photo below
