I absolutely love how this fall tree craft turned out. We loved it so much so, in fact, that we began experimenting with different colors of paper and paints. What started out as a simple fall apple tree craft then turned to orange trees and red, too.

Cut two slits in a cardboard roll, one on each side. Cut a paper towel roll in thirds in slightly different sizes, too, for some variation in height.
