Here's a fun accent for your summertime party.
1. Paint a whole pecan with green acrylic paint.
2. Dry brush yellowish stripes on top.
3. Spray paint a tub with silver. Note: I have used short plastic cups; I've also cut down Dixie cups.
4. Glue in clear decorative fill or the fine tumbled glass pieces used for flower arranging. These make great ice.
5. Push your watermelon down into the ice and you are done! Some wine bottles, soda cans, beer cans, etc. are cute as well.
Tip: When making foods from clay or anything else, have the real McCoy in front of you to match color. Your mind's eye is never as accurate as your own eyes.
