Yarn crafts always make for fun crafts for the kids. Make this easy yarn apple craft for some simple kid-made Fall decor!

Its apple season here, the apples are just about ready, so I thought it was the perfect idea to make a yarn apple craft.

We’ve done this yarn technique many times in the past. So I won’t get into huge detail of how to do it, you can read more about any tips I have in these other yarn crafts:

This yarn apple craft really is a pretty simple craft.

I put a bunch of glue in a bowl. Then, George added some water to it and stirred it together.

We decided to add red glitter to the glue mixture for some sparkly, shiny apples!

Then I held out some red yarn for George to cut. I love the sharp-pointed Fiskars scissors (affiliate link) that we use.

George took the yarn and dipped it in the glue mixture. Stirring it around with a spoon.

In our other crafts, Henry always took this as an opportunity to get his hands messy and would use his hands.

But George is much more cautious and wanted to keep out of the glue as much as possible.

For the most part, George scooped the yarn out with a spoon and plopped it in the muffin tin. Then, he used his fingers to spread it out to cover the bottom of each muffin spot.

This makes the base apple part of your yarn apple craft.

I did get him to string it out with his fingers a couple of times. I love the sensory aspect of this craft!

Once all the bases of the apples were made, George cut some small pieces of green paper to be a leaf.

He stuck it on the edge of the red yarn.

Before popping them in the oven, George gave another shake of glitter to all the apples! They’re extra sparkly!

Then its time to wait and wait. These always take forever to dry.

I stuck them in the oven at its lowest setting (170 degrees F) for a good hour. And then let them sit out.

I popped them back in the oven because I am so impatient.

I think they ended up in the oven for about 4 hours total.

Once they were dry on the top, I popped them out of the muffin tin and flipped them over on a sheet pan to put back in the oven for a little bit longer.

If you don’t want to struggle popping them out, line your muffin tin with wax paper.

With some string (affiliate link), I attached them to the curtain rod in our big window in the dining room.

Some festive apples to begin the fall season!
