Use a large apple stencil and trace it on a piece of cardstock. Cut out the apple. If you don’t have an apple stencil, simply trace your own as best as you can and cut it out.

Squeeze paint into the plastic bag. For this apple craft, we use red, green, and yellow paint.

Release all the air from the bag and seal.

Choose if you’d like to tape the plastic bag to the table OR to the cardstock. If you are taping the plastic bag to the table, tape the cardstock over the plastic bag.
