Creating the Apple Shape
To make the apple shape, follow these steps:
- Start by folding the red fabric in half.
- Use a marker or chalk to draw half of an apple shape on the fabric. Make sure it’s large enough to fit your child comfortably.
- Carefully cut out the apple shape along the marked lines.

With the apple shape and leaf ready, it’s time to sew the apple costume.
Sewing the Apple
Follow these steps to sew the apple:
- Place the two red fabric apple shapes together and pin them in place.
- Using a needle and thread, sew along the edges of the apple shape, leaving an opening at the top.
- Turn the fabric inside out through the opening you left.
- Stuff the apple costume with filling material to give it a plump and round shape. You can use cotton, polyester fiberfill, or any other soft material you have on hand.

Now that the leaf is attached, let’s create the head and arm openings.
Creating the Head and Arm Openings
To create the head and arm openings, follow these steps:
- Measure the circumference of your child’s head and mark that measurement on the top of the apple.
- Using scissors, carefully cut a small opening for the head.

With the elastic added, it’s time to add some decorative details to our apple costume.

To decorate the apple costume, follow these steps:
- Use fabric paint or markers to add details like seeds on the apple shape. Get creative and make it look as realistic as possible!
