3. Tear small pieces of black construction paper for the watermelon seeds and stick them inside the outline.
4. Tear bits of green and pink tissue paper. Add the green tissue paper around the edge for the rind and the pink tissue paper in the center. Overlap the pieces slightly to create a colorful stained-glass effect.
