Here are some great apple crafts for crafting beginners.

Apple Pencil Holder<\/em><\/strong>

*\tMaterials Needed:<\/em>
o\t1 Balloon, size depends on how many pencils it’s going to hold
o\t1 Cup water
o\t1 Cup all purpose flour
o\tSeveral strips of white paper
o\tRed tempera paint, also known as poster paint
o\tGreen felt or green construction paper

*\tDirections:<\/em>
o\tMix the water and flour together to form a paste. Tip: If the paste is too runny, add a little flour and if it’s too thick, add a little water. A good rule of thumb: add a teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
o\tBlow up the balloon.
o\tRun the strips of white paper through the paste and apply them to the balloon, layering them over the balloon and each other, leaving a 2″ hole at the base of the balloon for the pencils.
o\tLayer strips of paper until you have 2 to 4 layers of paper mache, remembering to leave a 2″ hole for the pens and pencils to go through.
o\tAllow the paper mache to dry for at least 24 hours.
o\tAfter the 24 hours, poke the balloon with a pin to pop it.
o\tUsing a damp cloth, readjust the hole to the correct size.
o\tReadjust the bottom of the apple so it sits flat. You can do this while the paper mache is still damp or you can place the apple on a damp cloth and gently push down for five minutes to flatten the bottom.
o\tPain the apple red and add green leaves with either felt or construction paper.

Dried Apple Garland<\/em><\/strong>

*\tMaterials Needed:<\/em>
o\tJuice from 8 to 10 lemons
o\t2 teaspoons salt
o\t8 to 10 large firm apples
o\t8 teaspoons cinnamon
o\t2 teaspoons allspice
o\t1 teaspoon cloves
o\tJute
o\t1 to 1 \u00c2\u00bd yards of ribbon or fabric scraps

*\tDirections:<\/em>
o\tMix lemon juice and salt in a large bowl.
o\tPeel, core and slice apples horizontally into \u00c2\u00bc inch thick circles.
o\tSoak apple circles in lemon juice for 6 to 10 minutes each, making sure that each side has a chance to absorb lemon juice.
o\tMix spices in a bowl, blending well.
o\tRemove the apple circles from the lemon juice, place them on paper towels and pat the tops of the apple circles with paper towels.
o\tDust the apples with the spice mixture, then turn them over and repeat the dusting on the other side.
o\tPlace the apples in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 150 to 200* F for 6 hours or until completely dried, but slightly pliable.
o\tCut enough jute for your desired length of garland. Tip: Be mindful of length, too long is better than too short.
o\tTo string your apples, push one end of the jute through the middle of each apple slice
o\tYou can add things in between the apple circles for variation or you can simply make apple garland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
