Along with making felt pears and crepe paper veggies this month, we are also showing you how to make these honeycomb apples and pears out of frosted paper. This is an easy craft project, but we do recommend using a cutting machine since the cutting and scoring needs to be very precise. However you can always try cutting and scoring by hand instead.
To make this even simpler, we also have a video tutorial for you to follow along with.
Pick your favorites
Our template and SVG file include the designs to make apples and pears. Craft them both or pick your favorite to fill your bowl with! All of the frosted paper colors we used are linked below, but you can always use whatever paper and colors you prefer.
If you have an older kid who wants to make these honeycomb apples and pears, they could use white glue instead of a glue gun. Also, this video tutorial should help you with any of our other honeycomb projects.
Skill level: Beginner
Crafting tip: We recommend cutting and scoring on a machine because both really need to be exact for the fruits to come together perfectly.

I cut several pears with the cricut maker. The center fold line is off so the sides are not equal.
Thanks!
I would restart your Cricut and upgrade their software. They were having a glitch around that issue last week.
Thanks for the advise on the previous issue. No problem with assembling the apples but the pears are not working out for me. I used the cricut. One side is not as wide as the other and looks lopsided unlike the apple…or maybe it is just me! Thank you!
When gluing them together it is important to keep the layers aligned perfectly. This will ensure it is balanced.
how much fruit can i make with frosted paper? is it a sheet per fruit?
Hi Tina! Yes, it is one fruit (9 pieces) per sheet.
Hi Lia: I just want to handcut these apples since I don’t have a cricut. Do you have the simple PDF file
pattern so I can get the size correct?
Hi Judy! The PDF template is included as a download, with the correct size 🙂
As far as having an “incompatible” project I had to resize down the pairs by about a half an inch. The margins were just outside what the maker detects for sizing.
Hi! I have selected score and attached so all images look as they should. However, I am still receiving a message that the project is not supported .” I then deselected all the apples thinking the project would correct the problem. I really wish to make these. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
The file is working fine on our end so please send a screenshot of what you’re seeing to hello@liagriffith.com, and we’ll try to help 🙂
Hi…I have a Cricut Maker. I just cut out several frosted paper flowers. I am unable to cut the fruit with my machine. Receiving this message, “Project Incompatible This project is not supported by your current machine selection. To resolve, select OK and adjust the affected layers.” Hoping you can help me resolve this issue. Also would like to cut on mats I have 12×12. Thanks
That error message appears when the design is too large for the canvas/mat. Be sure to delete or hide the disclaimer layer, and ATTACH everything once you have changed the score lines. They should fit on 12×12 paper.
These are super cute. … the svg file loads well, but there are no score lines.they show as cut lines instead. i had to change the cut lines to score lines and attach them to the fruit and leaves..just a heads up…
Hi Julie! That’s correct, you will have to manually change the lines to SCORE and ATTACH before cutting. There is no way to set up the SVG file to do that.
