  • Once you have finished using your cellophane put another layer of sticky back plastic on top to seal it and cut the apple shape out.
  • To display it in your window you can use a needle and thread so that you can hang it or make a little circle of selotape so you can stick it directly on to your window.

Notes

When we made this craft my daughter was three years old so the apple shape was too tricky for her to cut but she loved cutting the cellophane.
