Hi Y'all!
Robyn here with a summertime fun project!
After Christmas in July, time for some hammock time and this sweet treat!
The technique I want to share today is layering paper pieces- die cut or digital cuts.
Watermelon Box
On the mat
The text is to help identify what pieces go where.
There are good instructions on the Silhouette Store page.
The only change I made was to copy the seeds and make 4 sets, so I could layer them.
***Layering Technique***
I ended up using three layers for these seeds.
Wait a bit for the glue to dry, and lift out your seeds.
It's much easier to let the negative space hold the shapes in place when you are trying to layer.
For even more dimension, add glossy accents.
Celebrate the season with creativity, and don't forget the watermelon!

***Layering Technique***
- While the seeds are still on the mat, leave the number you need for the base layer, and lift the rest out.
- Apply adhesive, I used a matte medium in a needle nose bottle( left over from baktik days)to the seeds on the mat.
- Use a pick up stick or tweezers to pick up the next layer of seeds, press into place, and add as many as you wish to get the desired effect.
