Halloween Poison Apple History

The first rotten apple we know of comes from the Bible. It was never rotten but rather an attractive piece of fruit. When Adam and Eve ate the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, they were instantly aware of good and evil. Immediately the apple built a bad reputation and it becomes a fruit often selected for the symbolism of evil.

We are introduced to the Poisoned Apple in the fairy tale, Snow White. When the Evil Queen gives Snow White a poison apple to kill her, it immediately causes her fall into an eternal sleep. In the Disney version, Snow White is saved by “true loves kiss” when a prince kisses her causing her to wake.

To carry on the tradition of this the poison apple, we put together a fun Halloween Food Craft; an incredibly easy poison apple craft and poison apple dip.

Cream Cheese & Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients

Luckily, the ingredients in this recipe contain no poison. The thought sure is fun, though, for the Holiday season. Rather this recipe is quite sweet and so good with sliced apples or graham crackers.

Poison Apple Halloween Craft Directions

Guys, I don’t have much for you. This poison apple craft is incredibly easy. You could look at the picture and instantly create the craft.

First, get two apples of similar shape and sizes. Cut each apple in half and fit them together.

Second, grab colored tables. We used blue staples but you could also use other colored staples, traditional silver staples or gold staples. Separate individual staples.

With your apple lined up, you will press individual staples until your green and red apple holding them two halves together and forming one apple. Continue this process up the seam of the apple.

Once your apple holds nicely together, you are done.

Warning: Do not use this craft for consumption or eating. Display it on your tablescape or high up for Halloween decor but keep it away from small hands and little kids.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath

Learn how to make a Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath for under $10. Black and Purple Mesh Ribbon, Halloween Ornaments and a wreath form for this budget-friendly outdoor Halloween craft.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath

You want to know something funny? I recall going to Jo-Ann Fabrics after one Halloween and they practically gave me the wreath on display. I had to pay for it, but I recall it feeling like a steal. The wreath was only a wreath form with orange mesh ribbon and I treat the wreath like a precious baby since I have it. Unfortunately, I must not treat my babies well because the mesh ribbon is looking awful and I have wanted to replace it for the longest time.

Realizing I could replace my beloved Halloween wreath for under $10 makes me wonder why I did not do this ages ago! I am so grateful how Dollar Tree Crafts have become the coolest thing to do. I think The Dollar Store realizing how much we appreciate their materials, too, because they are really stepping up their decor!

Don’t forget our other Halloween Dollar Tree Craft- How to Make a Sugar Skull.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath Supplies:

All Halloween Wreath supplies are found at The Dollar Tree except for our Hot Glue Gun.

Metal Wreath Form (Greenery/Gardening Aisle)
Black and Purple Mesh Ribbon (Seasonal Area)
Pipe Cleaners (Craft Aisle)
Halloween Decor Items of your choosing (Seasonal Area)
Hot Glue Gun

Halloween Wreath Tips:

We picked up a Dollar Tree wreath form. You can use this wreath over and over each year or take it apart at the end of Halloween and use for other seasons.

Personalize this wreath to your style and taste. Your your own Dollar Tree Halloween Decor. The purpose is not for me to show you how to perfectly make mine but for me to show you how to make your own. Style it to your liking.

I love that you can pick up Dollar Store Craft Pipe Cleaners for a $1. Such a frugal craft and the rest can be used for the kids craft area.

Dollar Tree Halloween Wreath Directions:

First, start by cutting your pipe cleaners into small sections, these will be used as ties to secure your ribbon to the wreath form. I personally cut my pipe cleaners into 3 pieces each.

Next, tie pipe cleaners sections all around the perimeter of your wreath, you will want to do this on the outer ring and also the second from the middle as well – I like to do them about 3-4 inches apart.

Now you’ll take one of your ribbon colors, you can choose which you’d like to do on each section. I started with purple on the outer ring. You’ll want to secure the end of your ribbon using one of the pipe cleaners ties you’ve already had tied on the wreath.

Once you’ve secured your end of the ribbon roll, you’ll want to create bunches to give that full bubbly appearance and you’ll want to secure a section every 3-4 inches where you have placed the pipe cleaners ties.

Repeat these steps all the way around the outer ring as well as the inner ring until you have a full wreath without decor.

Now comes the fun part, decorating! You can choose to get the round ornaments and pumpkins like I did to fill in the very inner ring, or you can find whatever Halloween decorations fit your aesthetic best, the dollar tree has TONS to choose from! You’ll just want to use a hot glue gun to secure these items to your wreath and Voila!

You’re finished. I love how simple and easy, yet adorable this wreath is! Not to mention I was able to purchase all the supplies for around $10, that’s a steal if you compare the cost of wreaths online!

Enjoy.

It uses the LEAN-TO-STEER technology, which means the scooter is controlled by leaning rather than turning the steering wheel, this design helps your child develop balance skills, coordination and more
