Cut paper plate in half and set one half aside for later. Cut away the plate's outer edge. This will be your watermelon's rind.
Cut several small slits around the curved edges of your paper plate cutouts. These slits will be used to weave your yarn across the paper plate pieces to decorate your watermelon's body and its rind. Use the slits to weave your pink yarn throughout your watermelon's body, and your green yarn throughout the watermelon's rind. Secure the ends of your yarn to the back of your watermelon pieces with tape.
Assemble your watermelon. Tape or paste your watermelon's body and rind to the half of your paper plate that you had set aside.
Add your watermelon's seeds! Using a black marker or sharpie, place black dots on the pink yarn.
