When we see it, we smile.

And we can’t stop playing with it.

Finding a worm moving around inside an apple isn’t fun, but it can be fun to turn it into a craft.

What did you say?

So let’s go.

Have you got all the tools?

How to make a paper apple worm

What you need:

• red cardboard or red paper
• light orange cardboard or light orange paper
• split pin
• neon pink paper
• light pink paper
• White paper
• black pencil
• brown cardboard or brown paper
• glue
• round hole punching machine
• round object (we used a small cup)
• circular ruler
• pencil
• drag

Step by step instructions

On the red cardboard, draw an apple.

Cut it out.

Draw the body of an apple on brown cardboard.

Cut it out.

Stick the stem onto the apple.

Take the circular object and draw two circles – one circle on the red cardboard and one circle on the light orange cardboard.

Cut out the circles.

Punch a circle on the left side of the apple.

Apply a little glue to the back of the apple, at the edge of the hole.

Do not apply glue to the bottom of the hole. Leave that space clear of glue.

Glue the light orange circle to the back of the apple.

Push the split pin through the red circle and through the apple. Now split the two ends of the pin.

Make sure the red circle completely covers the hole.

The back of the apple will look like this.

Check if this mechanism works.

Draw some pink circles on both the neon pink and light pink paper.

Cut them out.

To make the worm, arrange and glue these circles together as shown.

Your worm is almost done.

Draw two small eyes and cut them out.

We really like using googly eyes for the worm, but they disrupt the mechanism. So we use flat eyes.

Keep your eyes on the worm’s head.

Apply a little glue to the back of the worm and stick the worm inside the apple.

All has been done!

We hope you enjoy this craft and hope it brings you lots of laughs.

See you soon with new projects.

Keep stable!
