How to Make the Paper Red Tomato Craft
Here are the steps to make a paper vegetable red tomato craft:
Instructions:
Cut out a circle from the red paper. The size of the circle will depend on how big you want your tomato to be.
Cut out a small rectangle from the green paper. This will be the stem of your tomato.
Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise, and then unfold it.
Fold the top and bottom edges of the rectangle to meet at the center crease.
Fold the rectangle in half again, this time folding it along the center crease.
Cut out small pieces of green paper in the shape of leaves. Glue or tape the leaves to the top of the stem.
Glue or tape the stem to the top center of the tomato.
To add some texture to your tomato, you can use scissors to make small cuts along the edges of the red paper. Be careful not to cut all the way through the paper.
Finally, gently curl the edges of the paper outward to give your tomato a more realistic look.
And there you have it! Your very own papercraft tomato. You can make as many as you want and use them as decorations for a variety of events or as part of a larger fruit or vegetable arrangement.
