DIY FLOWER POT APPLE

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

Small Terra cotta flower pot with saucer
Red craft paint
Paint brush (a small sponge brush works great)
Small twig
Green felt or green paper
Craft glue

DIRECTIONS

1. Begin by apply two coats of red paint to your flower pot. Make sure you allow time for the paint to dry in between each coat.

2. Once the paint is dry, place the saucer on top of the pot. You will now see the apple shape take form.

3. Take a small piece of stem (we just used a stick from our yard) and glue it to the top of the saucer. It will now look like a stem on the apple.

4. Cut a small leaf or two from your green felt or paper. Apply some glue and press it to the stem. Your flower pot apple is now complete!

As mentioned, there are a few ways you can use your flower pot apple. It is a great back to school gift for teachers, or a fun gift for kids when filled with gummy worms or treats. This is a great craft to do when learning a lesson on apples, or if you just want a way to beat boredom blues.
