Tissue Paper Apples!

We made these for our Make-It & Take-It drop-in craft program earlier today. Some people made rainbow apples (we put out blue and pink tissue paper too), which still looked really good!

The craft was inspired by this site: http://www.blissfulroots.com/2013/09/tissue-paper-apple-art-project.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+BlissfulRoots+%28BLISSFUL+ROOTS%29. So all you need is construction paper, tissue paper, and glue sticks. We also used brown crayons to color the stems. I think apart from gluing and piling on tissue paper, shredding and tearing the tissue paper was my favorite part!

"Stained Glass" Paper Kites!

So, this is week two of inadvertently picking another paper themed craft! I apologize and I will try my best not to post the same theme back-to-back again... at least not for a while!

This craft is pretty simple, and it's okay if you don't have all the materials listed, which means you can always substitute it for something else!

I personally really like transparent or light-up crafts, and this one makes a quick and easy window decoration too!
