What foods better represent this time of year than pumpkins and apples? Merge fall’s two favorite treats in this easy and creative craft. And best of all, no knives or carving tools required!
What you’ll need:

›› Caramel-colored craft paint
›› Foam paintbrush
›› 3/4” x 12” wooden dowel
›› Ribbon
›› Coffee filter

Instructions:
