Back to School Apple Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin with a white paper plate.
Paint the paper plate red. Let dry.
Cut a circle from the center of the plate to fit a 4×6 photo.
Now, adhere the photo to the back of the plate with tape. Don’t worry if you’ve made the circle too big, simply adhere a piece of red paper as a background.
Next, cut a simple rectangle stem from the brown cardstock and a leaf from the green.
Glue the stem and leaf in place at the top of the apple.
Finally, write the year on the bottom of the apple.
How absolutely adorable, right?! Such a sweet back to school keepsake!
