Construction paper 5. Tissue paper 6. Popsicle sticks (3-4) 7. Paintbrush 🍎 1.

The kind you would wrap a gift with. A dollar store is the best place to purchase inexpensive tissue. 🍎2. If using tissue paper, take some school glue and water it down slightly (put in a separate small bowl). Let your little artist paint glue and water mixture to the half circles. Add tissue squares to glue mix. You can add as many or as little as u want. It dries beautifully even if there are a lot of tissue and glue. 🍎3. Glue or tape 3-4 pop sticks to the half circles. 🍎4. Add pre-cut stem (small brown rectangle about an inch), leaves (green oval shape), and seeds(tiny black ovals).
