Unfold the second fold you just made and cut the still-doubled piece in half. Then fold the piece in half again but widthwise this time. Fold one of your patterned or coloured pages in half lengthwise, bringing the top edge and corners down to evenly meet the bottom edge and corners, making sure the colourful side is on the outside of your folds. Make the base shapes that will form your actual apple. Set all of these shapes aside for the moment. Next, cut two leaf shapes, with one rounded end and one tapered point end, from your green paper.

Then cut a quarter inch by two inch strip from your brown paper, fold it in half, and round off the top corners of the open side towards the creased side. Gather your materials in front of you!

Paper (colorful or patterned, yellow, brown, and green).In fact, playing with these concepts is how I came up with the idea of making DIY 3D paper apples!
