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.

You can learn how to make the twine here

Apples in our home decor is one of my favorite things to decorate with, I love the country look. I found this cute apple banner and new I wanted to make one in country colors. You can find how to make this banner here.

I made these single apples pictured below for my tree ornaments, I made them a little different than the ones on the banner. I cut out two apples one out of felt a little larger than the one out of fabric and then blanket stitched around the fabric apple to attach to the felt. The stem is made the same as the ones in the Green and Red banner but the leaf is a scatter pre made fabric leaf sewn to finished apple. I then slipped a piece of Jute through the apple stem making a loop and tied a knot.
