Paper Plate & Tissue Paper Apple Craft

Looking for a fun and simple craft idea for your little ones to recreate this fall season? Look no further than this tissue paper apple craft!

Tissue Paper Apple {Kid Craft}

Paper Plate Red Apple Craft

Hi friends! I’m so excited that you landed on today’s paper plate & tissue paper apple art project idea!

School is already in full swing in many areas, but if your children are still at home this week and are begging you to do a craft with them – you are in for a real treat!

Today I’m sharing another kid friendly activity that is SUPER simple to pull together. I call it my “Paper Plate & Tissue Paper Apple” tutorial.

It has a back-to-school theme, as well as a fall theme. And it’s just that – a red apple made out of tissue paper, a paper plate and glue. That’s it! For an added bonus – I add my son’s handprint for the leaf AND colored our regular school glue so craft time smelt amazing too!

On that note, it’s time to make it happen. So grab your craft supplies and keep scrolling to find the full apple craft tutorial below! Happy crafting, my friends!

Directions:

  • First thing first – cut your red tissue paper into small squares.
  • Now slather a good amount of school glue all over the large paper plate.
  • Have your child place the tissue paper on top of the glue until the paper plate is completely covered. Set aside.
  • For the stem/leaf of the apple – make your child’s hand print on cardstock. For this, I painted my son’s four fingers green and his thumb brown. Press down on the paper. Let the paint dry completely.
  • Trim out the handprint and staple to your paper plate, to give the look of an apple.
  • Now go ahead and let your piece dry completely before you display the finished paper plate apple proudly for all to see!
