Here’s a super cute pair of apple baskets to make from paper using our printable template.

The baskets are just the right size to hold little treats and make a fun apple or harvest-themed crafts for kids. They’re also cute for back-to-school, and they’d make a sweet teacher gift filled with chocolates at Christmas or end-of-year.

Apple treat baskets

Who doesn’t love apples? My picky eaters for one, but make them an apple pie or crumble and they’ll love that, haha. Or a friendly apple basket like these ones.

Apple treat baskets with printable template

Our apple basket comes in both full colour and line art so kids can colour their own. They’re a low-mess, low-fuss craft that you can put together with nothing but paper (card stock recommended, but paper will still work), scissors and glue. And they’re so easy that anyone with scissor skills can make them.

How to make an apple basket craft

You will need

  • The template printed onto card stock — available both in our printables store and on TPT
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors
  • Scoring tool or blunt butter knife (optional)
  • Ruler
  • Pencils or felt tip markers if making the color-your-own version
 

 

How to

  1. Score the fold lines (optional).
  2. Cut out the shapes.
  3. Fold along fold lines and glue the basket together. The side panels can be angled to tilt outwards so they match the shape of your apple.
  4. Glue the handle on.

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
