Hemp Twine Wrapped Apples


These twine wrapped apples add a rustic touch to your home decor and are a simple update from a basic wooden apple. You can change the look of these significantly by using different colored twines like bakers twine or just stick with a simple hemp twine for a classic look.

Things you’ll need:
Hemp twine
Craft Glue
Wooden Apples
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Fill the hole at the top of the apple with a small amount of glue and push the end of the twine into the glue. Allow it to dry before proceeding.
2. Add a small amount of glue around the hole and start winding the twine around, pressing it into the glue so that it lies flat.

3. Continue to add a layer of glue and then a few rounds of twine, wrapping slowly and keeping it flat on the surface of the apple. Wrap until the entire apple is covered. Trim the end of the twine and tuck the tail under the apple, splaying it out and gluing it in place.

Chalkboard Pumpkin


This is a fun way to decorate a pumpkin without the mess of carving! A great project for kids to do, and play with, you can let them go to town with their pumpkin decorating over and over again.

Pumpkin
