Apples have been grown in Lambton County for hundreds of years. We continue to enjoy and appreciate them today for their flavour and usefulness as a cooking staple. It is fun and easy to make apples at home using coloured paper. Card stock works best but construction paper will also do the job.

Before you start, make sure you have these things:

  • One 8 ½” x 11” piece of card stock (red, yellow, or green)
  • Green paper or card stock for the leaf
  • Two brass fasteners
  • Single hole punch
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Pencil

Instructions

Three paper apples.

A yellow piece of paper cut in half.
Step 1

Cut the 8 ½” x 11” sheet of card stock in half so you have two pieces that are 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. You only need one half to make an apple.

Two pieces of yellow paper. One with lines drawn on it.
Step 2

Use a pencil and ruler to divide the paper into eight, one-inch pieces. 

Strips of yellow paper.
Step 3

Use scissors to cut the strips apart along the lines. Discard the small strip left over at the end.

Two piles of stripped yellow paper.
Step 4

Make two holes in each strip, one close to each end, using a hole punch.

Green leaf cut out of green paper.
Step 5

Cut a leaf shape out of green card stock or other paper. The leaf can be any shape and size you like. A lemon shape that’s about two inches long and 1.5 inches wide works well.

Step 6

Make a hole near one end of the leaf using a hole punch.

Step 7

Stack the strips of card stock into a neat pile. The holes at each end should line up. Use a brass fastener to pin the strips together at one end.

Step 8

Flip the pile of strips over. Line the hole of the leaf up with the hole at the end of the pile of strips. Use a second fastener to pin the leaf onto the pile of strips.

Step 9

Carefully spread the strips apart to create a round apple.

Step 10

Fold the leaf over top of the fastener so it stands up.
