Today we are going to show you how you can transform ordinary items like cupcake liners and toilet paper rolls into a vibrant “apple” decoration that is sure to brighten up any room.
Toilet Paper Roll & Cupcake Liner Apple Craft
Let the kids go wild exploring their creative side this fall season with our Cupcake Liner Toilet Paper Roll Apple idea!
It’s really inexpensive to recreate and perfect to celebrate this time of year! All you need is a toilet roll tube, craft paint and cupcake liners to make it happen! Then make a whole bunch at once and use them as simple decoration in your home, classroom or maybe even a fall gathering. You can even grab a few apple themed books to read after craft time and tie the theme all together.
Whatever you decide to do – I hope you enjoy making some pretend apple craft pieces with your child today!
Happy crafting my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your cardboard craft tube & cupcake liner apple core by tagging us on Instagram! I can’t wait to see your creations “grow” in your home! #gluedtomycrafts
