3D Paper Apples



I forgot to bookmark the original source for this next project but fortunately there are plenty of other websites of the same project-with slight variations. This one for example:

https://www.papermilldirect.co.uk/inspire/post/teachers-gift-ideas-papercrafted-apples




To create the paper apples:

-paper (card stock, old magazines, newspaper/Sunday comics, greeting cards, gift wrapping paper, etc.)

-scissors
-glue (We used a glue stick but I read on one particular website that the crafter tested Glue Dots™  and with very good results.)
-pencil, for tracing
-apple stencil (You can find apple templates/stencils *online free of charge. Or, if you have
an apple cookie cutter it can be traced on paper.)

We also used Google/Images to compare different types and colors of apples for artistic inspiration:
