3D Thanksgiving Paper Craft

3D Thanksgiving Paper Craft This is a cute, simple paper craft that results in a 3D ornament you can hang around the room.

Print template of choice and color as necessary.
Cut out the template pieces.
Fold each piece in half (on the dashed line) so they are all colored on both the front and the back.

Optional: Put thin cardboard in between the front and back of each template piece to make them a bit sturdier.
Glue together so the pieces are colored on both sides.
3D Fruits:
- Cut on one of the dotted lines of each template piece (only cut as far as the dotted line goes, not all the way through the piece).
- Slide the pieces together, top to bottom
- Glue a piece of ribbon, string or thread onto the top (or hole punch a small hole and tie a ribbon through). If you hole punch, do it through the fruit that is cut from the bottom, not the one that is cut from the top.
Cornicopia sign:
- punch three holes in the bottom of the cornicopia sign template (one in the center and one on each edge).
- string one fruit through each of the holes so it hangs down from the sign.
- Glue a short string to the bottom of the middle fruit and then glue it to the top of the fourth fruit so that the fourth fruit is hanging from the middle fruit.
Optional:
- Print as many copies of template 2 or 3 as you like and keep adding fruits to the bottom of the other fruits and the cornicopia sign to make a very busy scene!
- 'numbers practice' -- count the fruits.
- 'colors practice' -- color the background of each fruit a different color.

After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
• In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
• Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
