Poison Apple Tutorial

 Woohoo its the weekend!!!

Happy weekend my friends!!!

                                I was thinking the other day,

boy Janice its been a long time since you

offered a tutorial.

So today I am going to tell you how to create

these poison apples.

Materials Needed

Faux apples (purchased mine at Hobby Lobby)

Black paint

Paint Brush

Glue gun and sticks (regular size, not minis)

Modge Podge

Wood dowel 1/8 inch thick

Gray Cardstock

Black embroidery floss

Needle

Step 1: Remove the stem from the apple.

Step 2: Cut dowel 6 inches long

Thank god for Bob as I HATE saws.

You might be able to just purchase some

candy apple sticks instead.

Step 3: Punch dowel into where the stem was.

Take out and add a bit of hot glue and stick back in.

Step 4: Glue entire apple with hot glue. 

Now it is best if you start from the top and

glue downward, then all around.

Make sure to leave some of the apple showing at the top.

It took me 2 1/2 glue sticks per apple.

Let glue dry 24 hours.

Step 5: Paint entire dried glue with black paint.

Let dry 24 hours.

Make sure the paint is well covered on the glue.

Step 6: Paint the black now with 

Modge Podge.

Let dry again 24 hours.

This will make your apple shiny.

Now if you want to add a tag,

so sorry I did not save the one I found on Pinterest.

I would do a Pinterest search for a

Poison Apple Label.

(thats where I found mine)

So sorry.

I fit it to size and once again I forgot to measure this.

Ensure it is the right size you like before

printing on cardstock.

Otherwise if you dont want a label it will look like

this without my label.

I attached my label using black floss.

{just add floss to your needle and punch hole through}

Tie and cut ends.

Looks like it is floating. WOW

Took this pic on the lid of the store toilet.

Now I created my poison apples using green apples,

because my witch theme was green and purple.

You may want to use a red faux apple.

Hope my instructions were satisfactory.

In other news,

I also created a poem to go with my apples.

I made up this poem and sized to fit

a 4 X 6 frame.

Printed on some fancy paper.

I had to make sure it was the correct size,

so I took the glass out of the frame,

placed on top of my printed poem using regular paper first.

Once I knew it fit, I then printed on the pretty paper.

Again put the glass on top of the printed poem,

drew a pencil line around and then cut to fit.

Feel free to make these if you like as well.

Poison Apple Blessings To All!
