Get your crafty juices flowing and make this adorable clothespin and felt apple tree! The perfect way to get your kids (or you) excited for fall!
Craft Supplies:
- Wooden Clothespins
- Green Craft Felt
- Red Puffy Paint
- Tacky Glue
- Craft Scissors
- Gold or Brown Paint Pen
Directions:
- First have children paint the “trunk” of their trees completely gold {or brown} Repeat for each clothespin tree you want to make today.
- While they are working on that go ahead and cut out a green circle for each piece. Just a simple “not perfect” circle shape for the leaves will do.
- To finish off the Clothespin Felt Apple Trees – glue the green felt circle to the clothespin, followed with the painted red “apples” on top of the green. Repeat for each piece.
- Then let it all dry completely before displaying/playing with proudly! {BTW – since we used clothespins, these trees can stand up pretty nicely on their own!}
