The summer heat can be exhausting; it’s time to cool down with these refreshing watermelon Perler beads!
Watermelons are the quintessential summer fruit—they’re sweet, juicy, and the perfect energizer for a lethargic afternoon.
Just as this tasty fruit will hydrate the body, these watermelon Perler beads will nourish the mind and stimulate creativity, especially the peppy little ones.
So don’t forget your slice and let’s start these Perler bead activities!
Materials for Perler Bead Activities
5 Bite-Sized Watermelons
Watermelons are huge. Some varieties can grow up to 200 pounds! The first five watermelons are small, and thus easier to digest—especially for Perler bead beginners.
1. Plain Watermelon
Be wary of any seeds left for small children since these are a choking hazard.
But there’s no need to worry about the danger of seeds when making watermelon Perler beads, such as this design shared by Kittycat1234.
2. Minecraft Watermelon
This watermelon cut presented by The Daisy Tree is the most common way to enjoy the fruit.
A Minecraft enjoyer easily recognizes this common treat found in the game.
Let’s harvest more resources and craft more Perler bead projects through these Minecraft Perler bead patterns.
3. Dripping Watermelon
Grab a paper towel because devouring this watermelon—shared by hoodiestrings—will get messy.
It’s impressive how just a few beads can create such a dripping effect. The detail only works when the flesh is facing down; otherwise, it would be ignoring the laws of gravity.

4. Beat the Summer Heat: Watermelon Popsicle

5. Watermelon Crop
It’s not unusual to see fields of crawling watermelons during the summer. A scenery of such is presented to us by nastya_fw in their compact watermelon crop pattern.
3 Larger Watermelons
It’s impossible to not include huge watermelon patterns in this list. Though big, these patterns aren’t too difficult to create.
6. Take a Bite at This Watermelon!
If the watermelon sounds hollow when tapped, it’s usually a good indicator of its sweetness.
Since tapping or smelling the watermelon is not possible here, the only option is the visual cues.
If it has a creamy yellow spot, like the tiny detail found in this pattern shared by HollyS, then there’s a good chance that it’s ripe.
7. Evil Watermelon
Pumpkins are the go-to option during Halloween, but what if you need decoration during the summer?
Take inspiration from PerlerPixie‘s evil watermelon—a Perler bead pattern of a carved watermelon, probably emptied of its flesh and seeds.
Of course, there’s no issue with going traditional: pumpkin Perler beads.
8. Sliced Watermelon
It takes some skill to cut a watermelon—let alone slice it in half. That’s why being able to do it so effortlessly in games like Fruit Ninja is so addicting.
Fortunately, we don’t need to be a samurai to enjoy such a satisfying portrait shared by STech.
