Though these Watermelon Treat Boxes are super beginner-friendly, we still recommend a cutting machine to keep things easy and crisp. Likewise, we suggest using cardstock for this project for its durability and to give your box structure. Our tutorial includes everything you need to get started — from the template to the signature watermelon “rind” detailing on the back. And much like the real thing, one slice just isn't enough, so whip up a whole batch of these adorable boxes for your guests to enjoy!

Watermelons are an easy inspiration for a fun summer craft. Their iconic red and green color-scheme and marbled rind are practically a siren song when they begin popping up in grocery stores and farmers’ markets. They let us know that summer is finally here, and these treat boxes harness that same cheerful energy. Albeit with a lot more glue and way fewer seeds!

Looking for more DIYs like these Watermelon Treat Boxes? They pair beautifully with our other party decor crafts, and they add a playful, colorful element to any celebration. Plus, their wedge-shaped design makes them easy to display on platters or picnic tables.

When you're finished putting these together, fill them with jelly beans, chocolates, or even little notes. And as always, be sure to share your finished Watermelon Treat Boxes with us using #MadeWithLia — we’d love to see how you slice up the fun!
