Ok...so I couldn't resist. I was online and found a couple of challenges...one was for a picnic and so I was surfing and found this tutorial on how to make these cute 3D pumpkins and thought to myself...."That would be such a cute apple and fun gift for my son's new teacher this year." So I set off to make an apple instead of a pumpkin and thought I've often taken apples on a picnic so.... If you want to see the tutorial, it's really simple, and you can watch it here. Anyway, I think this turned out so cute. I think I'll wait about a week before I send it with my son so that his teacher has a few days to figure out who the kids are and he will have less stuff in his backpack and it will be less likely to get smooshed. LOL. This is such a cute simple project. Several of these in a bowl would look adorable for fall decor too. The tag says, "We look forward to a fun year with you."
