To make your Paper Apple Tree you will need:


-construction paper: red, two shades of green and orange
-construction paper for background, tree, apples and leaves
-glue
-red ink
-toilet paper roll or roll from a package of aluminum or paper towels cut in half lengthwise
-scissors
-(optional) we used stamps to make an apple print on red paper and a stamp to print autumn leaves on orange paper then cut them out.
-(optional) brown construction paper or brown paint for the tree trunk. I used specialty paper that looks like wood and glued it on.










Cost: hardly any cost

  1. ...very nice! I like the wood grain paper on the tree trunk and that you used stamps for the apples and leaves. Another successful craft project... definitely frig-worthy!

    Also love the apple with the knife in its teeth....
