So draw two thin layers towards the outer edge of the coaster. Use a thin brush and green paint to paint the skin of the watermelon. It's best to apply two coats of each color (the second coat only after the first has dried) so that the wood doesn't show through. Do the same process with the white paint for the next layer. Then apply the pink or red paint to the center of the watermelon. Sprinkle some glitter onto the center while the paint is still wet.
Now paint the seeds. The easiest way to do this is with a cotton swab and a thin brush. When finished, seal the paint with an acrylic spray or finish.
A tip: Try painting other summer fruits such as strawberries, oranges or lemons on the wooden discs. This makes the table decoration more playful.
