Instructions

1. Cut the apple in half from top to bottom.
2. Remove excess moisture by pressing the cut (flesh) side against a paper towel.
3. Press the cut side of the apple onto an ink pad in the color of your choice.
4. Press the apple down firmly against the item to stamp the ink.
5. Reapply ink to the apple after each stamp.
6. Decorate lunch bags, book covers, blank greeting cards or anything else you want.
