Apple Art

It's my favorite time of year --- the air is cooler, I can wear my boots, and anything pumpkin and apple makes my heart sing. I LOVE everything about fall!

My class made these pretty stained glass apples last week. I make them every year and they are one of my favorites! Our room just looks so bright and cheery with these hanging in the windows.

If you haven't made these before, you'll need wax paper, half and half white glue/water mix, tissue paper squares, and a shape as a base. Tape the shape base to the wax paper. Pour some glue on the wax paper and have the kids spread it around with a Q-Tip. Then they can start layering on the tissue paper. I have my kids do two layers of tissue paper....this gives it a bit more durability.


After they dry, peel the art off of the wax paper. This does take a little bit of time so you don't rip the tissue paper! But the end result is worth it.


Happy Fall, ya'll!!
