You’ll be the apple of everyone’s eye this Rosh Hashanah when you make these place cards for your holiday meal. So easy to make out of construction paper, they even hold battery-operated tea lights to add to the glow of the table. Sweet place cards, indeed.
What you’ll need:
– Red, green and brown construction paper
– Scissors
– Glue
– Battery-operated tea lights
– Pen
Divide an 8 1/2-by-11-inch piece of red construction paper into four equal sections. Each section makes one apple lantern.
Fold the paper lengthwise and give it a sharp crease with your fingers.
With the folded edge facing you, cut seven equally spaced slits, leaving about a quarter of an inch at the end.
With the slits running vertically, roll up the paper into a cylinder and overlap the edges, gluing them together.
Slide the cylinder over a battery-operated tea light — it should fit perfectly — and press down on it so the sides push out.
Cut a leaf shape out of green construction paper and write a name on it. Cut a stem out of brown paper. Glue them to the top of the apple.
