Using the yarn tail, sew the opening closed

Sew the yarn tail straight through the middle of the apple, pulling it through tight enough to form the “indent shape” at the top of the apple – weave it in to secure it in place

• Cut out two small circles in pink felt, then attach them just under the eyes using hot glue
