- Recycled cardboard (cut into a square)
- White cardstock
- Tray (optional)
- Scissors
- Apple template
- Glue

Directions
- First, download, print then cut out the free apple template. See supplies to get the template. If you have a cutting machine like a Cricut, search for an apple image then cut.
- Next, add a few drops of paint on the white cardstock. Make sure to use one paper for red, another for green and one for brown.
- Take the cardboard square and scrape the paint across the white cardstock. Start at the top and move downward. Now move in a different direction. Try not to scrape the paper more than 3 or 4 times. Set aside to dry.
