DIY Apple Cupcake Toppers

Apple picking season is here and will probably be going strong for a while longer.  And with the weather cooling a little bit, spending time outdoors picking apples is sounding better and better all the time!  Today I’m so excited to share the world’s easiest project, DIY Apple Cupcake Toppers!  Sometimes it’s those easy projects that I get the most excited about and I went a little picture crazy because I couldn’t stop myself from snapping more of these cuties.

Wooden Skewers | Green Felt | Scissors | Glue Gun | Red + Pink Pom poms | Cupcakes

I was able to create these adorable Apply Toppers in less than hour (I made them during my children’s rest time) so even if you are low on time, this is a great project!

I started out by cutting two strips of green felt from my felt stash.  I cut out seven differing sized leaves from each of the green colors.  And then I set them aside.

I then hot glued the red and pink pom poms onto the top of my wooden skewers.  I liked having a few pink apples added to the mix!

I then went back to the leaves and added just a small dab of glue at the bottom of each leaf and held it together for a moment while the glue dried.  It added just enough shape to the leaves, so that when I glued the leaf to the apple, it gave it just a little dimension.

I was left with these perfect apples on wooden skewers.

And pretty much the crafting is over at this point!  So, all you need now is to find yourself some cupcakes and plop those Apple Toppers right in!  Isn’t this single PINK apple just too much!!

I had such fun with some cupcakes having just a single apple and others having two apples.

I have VERY similar feelings as when I made these out of felt… they turned out so precious I wanted to eat them.

And now I want to make ALL the fruit cupcake toppers and while I’m at it, maybe I’ll start throwing in some veggie cupcake toppers because why not!  #cantstopwontstop
