That's Me!
Draw a self-likeness on a circle cutout (head). To make a shirt, trim the top corners of a 5" x 7" rectangle and add desired details. Glue the shirt at the bottom of a vertical 9" x 12" paper. Glue the head in place. Then glue a 1½" x 12" paper strip to each side of the paper to make a frame. Trim the excess. After you personalize the frame, fold two 2½-inch red paper circles (apples) in half and then unfold them. Glue the apples to the bottom corners of the frame. Cut leaves from a green piece of paper and glue them to the apples. |
