CRAFT INSTRUCTIONS:
*Please note, this craft was found through a Google image search and became the inspiration for the craft we are supply instructions for you all!
(You can be creative and resourceful by using what you already have at home, but these are the supplies we included in the craft kits: tree template on paper, twine or pipe cleaners (depends on pick-up branch), and pompoms.
- Cut string or pipe cleaner to desired length.
- Glue string or pipe cleaners to template to create trunk and branches.
- Glue pompoms to branches of the tree for leaves.
- Once the paint dries, glue the popsicle to the back of the apple.
- Viola! Caramel apple complete with sprinkles!
