Instructions

Step 1. Gather your supplies.

Supplies for a Rosh Hashanah crafted gift

Step 2.

To make an apple, cut one Red Fuzzy Stick in half. Wind the Fuzzy Stick around your finger to create a spiral shape. Continue twisting the stick until it starts to form a 3-dimensional apple shape.

Step 3.

Leave a small piece of the red stick at the top to add the stem. Cut a 1 inch piece of Green Fuzzy Stick and wrap around the stem to create leaves for the apple.

Step 4.

Wrap a green Fuzzy Stick around the neck of a jar of honey and twist to secure. (We used a honey-bear jar). Leave a piece sticking out to attach a hang tag.

Step 5.

Cut a piece of card stock to fit over the label of your jar. Write a message using a marker.

Step 6.

To create a hang-tag, fold a small piece of white card stock in half and punch a hole in the top corner. To decorate, dab your finger in red paint and make a finger print on the card-stock! This will create a round apple shape. Add leaves on the apple using a small paintbrush.

Step 7.

Glue the sweet new year label onto the front of the bear jar and attach the hang tag on the green Fuzzy Stick added in Step 4.

Step 8.

To continue with your honey theme, you can make a bumble bee to add on your jar. To start, wrap a Black Fuzzy Stick around a Yellow Pom to create the stripes and cut the stick when done.
