Hi everyone! Have you been missing me?
Mom came home yesterday with a bag of big macs.
Not the kind I was hoping for either.
It did remind me of some fun apple crafts you can make to decorate with this time of year.
You can make an apple out of an old book. I know a lot of people don’t like to cut up books, but a lot are obsolete like old horoscope books. 
You remove the book cover. Then you draw half an apple on the first page and cut around it. You do that with all the pages. Then you open the book and fold it backward and hot glue it at the binding so it will stay open. Then keep hot gluing between the pages. When it is complete, you can spray paint it red or paint it with a paint brush. Then add a piece of branch for the stem. I cut out a book worm and painted him green too.
You can also make an apple with some colored paper.
Just fold a paper the long way and draw 3 half apples- cut them out and do that with 2 more papers.
Then use a glue stick to glue the folder apples together. Here is a video I found to make it easier.
We are joining Comedy Plus’ Happy Tuesday Blog Hop and Create with Joy’s Inspire Me Monday.
OH cool. I remember I won an apple book as one of your prizes in one of your contests still have it too. I love it
Thank you. Glad you still have it. XO
Penny you did a fantastic job on your paper apple with the cute book worm! 🙂 <3
Thank you. XO
Missed you Penny! Nice picture of you with the apples! Very clever way to make decorative apples! XO
Thank you. XO
Those are cool Apples! I love all the projects you share. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you. XO
Thanks for that great idea, Penny! I bet the residents at petcretary’s work would love to make those too.
Thank you. I think the paper ones would be easier for them as the books are hard to cut. XO
You did a great job with the apple books, Penny.
Thank you. XO
I couldn’t get the “like” button to put in my “liked” but it’s probably our slow, slow internet….LOVE the apples, you get right to the core of the fun, Ms E.
Thank you. Good pun. XO
And yes, WE MISSED YOU, PENNY.
Thank you. XO
Of course we miss you Penny! Thanks for showing us the apple craft…..we’re going to do this one at Cat Scouts today right? Oh boy!
Hugs, Teddy
Thank you. Mom is sorry she had to cancel- hopefully net week. XO
I have to admit I’d prefer the other kind of Big Mac too 😉
Though apples are nice …
Thank you. 🙂
Great job. So beautiful.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties. xoxo ♥
Thank you.XO
Chaplin: “McIntosh apples! Our Mama loves those, but you never see them for sale here in Southern California. Just like Concord grapes. Things you can only get back East, I guess …”
We grow our own Concords and make jelly.
Penny, you are such a talented kitty!
Thank you. XO

MOL those aren’t the kind of big Macs we would want either. We’re looking forward to doing this craft at Cat Scouts.
Hopefully next week. XO
What fun! Thanks for teaching us something new to make!
Thank you. XO
Those are lovely! What a good idea to recycle old horoscope books!
Thank you. XO
Yes, you were missed Penny! The apple made out of the book with the little book worm is darling! Very cute tip!
Thank you. XO
Not my Big Macs, either (oh, that made me hungry!). But thank you for the craft! I am not crafty at all and was suddenly given a pre-school class this year! For the entire year!!! Now I have one more thing in my repertoire for them!
Thank you. That sounds like fun.
That really is cool apple art!
Thank you. XO
Those are really cool, Penny! Apple season is really exciting…it means fall!
Thank you. We LOVE fall most of all. XO
Those look like fun, i wonder if you could do them in orange as mini pumpkins, that would be a great rEcess project for November.
I bet that would be nice. I have done large pumpkins with bigger books. XO
What a cool craft idea!
Thank you. I am a crafty kitty. XO
Wow these are great crafts!
Thank you. XO
We love those kinds of big macs, Penny. Oh,and we love those paper big macs, too! 🙂
Me too. 🙂
Glad to see you Penny and great craft idea.
Thank you. XO
I would never have thought of that!!!
We look for ideas on Pinterest. XO
That’s a big apple..and I like it, Penny😸Pawkissies for all of you🐾😽💞
We hope all’s good, Ellen, we’re kind of worried🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. No, not good- my sister passed away yesterday. XO
Such a fun craft idea. xo
Thank you. XO
Very cute! Would be fun to attach a string and make a “garland” of the apples.
Thank you. 🙂 Good idea.
