How to Craft Apple Stamps. Cover a lunch sack or a fabric tote with these mouthwateringly
delicious apple stamps. You will need Smock or apron Newspaper Acrylic paint Paper plates
Fresh apple Kitchen knife Paintbrushes Construction paper or a paper lunch sack Paper towels Fabric
paint and fabric tote bag. Step 1. Put on your apron or smock and prepare your workspace
by laying down newspaper. Step 2. Pour the paint onto the paper plates, using a separate
plate for each color. You can use any color paint, but red and green – the colors of
apples – are most popular. Step 3. Cut the apple in half with a sharp knife. Dip the
apple into one of the paints, cut side down, and use a paintbrush to spread the color evenly.
Let the apples dry for an hour after cutting and before dipping. Step 4. Press the paint-covered
apple half onto the construction paper or paper lunch sack. Dip the apple in the paint
or brush the paint on again for each subsequent stamp, and have paper towels on hand to blot
excess paint. Step 5. Create a pretty design in the other half of the apple by cutting
a heart, star, or other shape into the center of the cut side of the apple before applying
paint. Step 6. Use fabric paint and use the apple stamps to create a cute fabric tote
bag or grocery bag. Did you know The crabapple is the only apple native to North America.
