Gorgeous Pressed Apple
Tablecloth
and Napkins
(special thanks to my 7-year old son for helping with this one!)
Materials: • Tablecloth and Napkins (I found a really pretty green basketweave cloth from Bed, Bath & Beyond. I paired it with cream colored napkins in the same basket weave. If you are hesitant about using cloth, you can try this on a heavy paper tablecloth (the kind lined with plastic.) I didn’t use paper, but you can try. |
|
| Step 1: Cut apples in half (as shown) and tap them on paper towels to dry slightly. |
 |
| Step 2: Spread cloth on table | |
| Step 3: Using wide brush, paint surface of apple with paint (apply thickly). |  |
| Step 4: Position apple on cloth and press paint side down and hold for 10 seconds. |  |
| Step 5: Carefully lift up apple. (It’s ok if image is not complete—it looks better this way!) |  |
| Step 6: Using narrow brush, paint a stem |  |
| Step 7: Repeat around the cloth |  |
| Step 8: Using green paint, repeat steps as for the tablecloth for the napkins. |  |
| Step 9: Allow to dry. Look how pretty the table looks set for Rosh Hashana dinner! | |
