I wanted to share our apple orchard party decorations in an outside setting. I really enjoy the fall season and decorating with apples. I hope you will enjoy the season with us as you look at these pictures of the apples and maybe make some of the fun decorative items.

You can see how to make similar Carmel and Chocolate Apples here

I used a homemade Carmel for a more country looking Apple. You can find the Carmel recipe here and then I dipped them in Red Melted Chocolate Disks and used a pretzel for the stem.

Apple Picks for Sandwiches & Straw Apple Toppers

I made this for our Apple Party/ Dinner that I will be making for next week. They are fun to make and easy too.

Straw Apple Toppers

Supplies needed:

*Apple Stamp, any apple stamp that you have will work or use a real apple cut in half and dip in paint
*Straws, I used plastic straws from Wal mart because I like straws that are sturdy
*Grocery Paper Bag
*Red and Green Acrylic Paint of your choice
*Regular sized Paper Punch, punch two holes in stamped Apple and slip in the straw.
*Scissors
*Stamp pad in brown and rub the stamp on edges of the apple to give distressed look

Apple Sandwich Picks

I just used red card stock and punched out apples and tied a little homemade twine around them. Then I punched two small holes in apples and inserted a sandwich Pick.
