Keep scrolling for the full details so you too can celebrate this fall-tastic time of year with a special craft idea!

Basket Full of Pom Pom Stamped Apples On Paper

This is such a fun fall themed craft for the littlest crafters in your home. Using inexpensive supplies like pom poms, craft paint and some cardstock paper – you and your child can make a “fake” BASKET full of apples to show off and mark the apple picking season!

Our pom pom painted apple craft idea is versatile! You can either use our free provided basket printable {located below in the supply list} or you can skip it and hand-cut a shape out of brown construction paper instead. You can also swap out the pom pom paint brush for a paint dabber or even a wine cork! The choice is yours! However you decide to recreate it, I hope it all started with this very blog post.

So friends – you can find the full tutorial below, along with the free file, so you make your own Pom Pom Apples In A Basket piece within minutes!

Happy crafting, my friends!! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your paper basket full of apples on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
