Snaps:
- Overlap the side of the apple and bus.
- Use a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew the layers together.
- Center the pieces over the snaps already sewn to the organizer to find placement. Sew two coordinating snap pieces to the backs of the bus and apple so they line up with the snaps on the organizer.
