size: Individual
Timescale: 30-60 min
Where?: Indoors
Where?: Gym hall/ similar
What you need craft yarn – red green or yellow
pipe cleaners
brown and green
piece of cardboard – 2 in x 5 in
Instructions: First find a piece of cardboard to help you with the winding. If you want a smaller apple use a piece of cardboard that is 2 inches thick. Or if you want it a little larger go 3 inches. Bend the piece of cardboard in half a bit just so it’s easier to take the yarn off when it’s done being wrapped. Take your yarn colour of choice and start wrapping it around your cardboard about 100 times. Cut string. Cut your brown piece of pipe cleaner in half and slip one through your winded up yarn. Then twist up the end together forming a stem for the top of the apple.
You now put the other cut half brown pipe cleaner through again and twist it up on the opposite end of the yarn creating the round apple and looking like the little bottom end of an apple. Twist it up ways then cut off the pipe cleaner with scissors fairly close to the yarn and bend that end of the wire in.
