Instructions

Step #1:

Cut out two egg carton cups. Trim them so they will fit together nicely.

Step #2:

Paint the outside of the two egg carton shells with red paint. Leave the inside for the moment, set these aside to dry.

Step #3:

Cut a small piece of green pipe cleaner. Bend it into the shape of two leaves on a stem.

Step #4:

Once the red paint has dried, paint the inside of each of your egg carton shells with white paint. Allow these to dry again.

Step #5:

Once the white has dried, use your black paint and paint a few seeds in the center of each of the egg shells.

Step #6:

Punch a hole in one of the two shells with your scissors. Place the green leaves into this hole.

Glue around the stem to hold it in place.

Add a little treat to the inside and put your two apple halves together.
