How to Dry Apple Slices for Home Decor
I am making a smaller wreath, one that I can hang on my living room armoire. If you want a larger one for your front door, you can easily make a large one, you just need more apples.
I used a 10 inch diameter grapevine wreath. I would use a 12-18 inch wreath form for your from door.
Have you ever thought of making a fruit wreath? I think they are a great way to add a festive touch to your home for the holidays. I love these kinds of easy projects using natural elements.
Now lets check out my DIY apple wreath tutorial.
DIY Apple Wreath Tutorial
- Dry your apple slices according to my post here.
- Plug in and heat up your hot glue gun.
- Do a dry run, lay out your greenery and apple slices on the wreath form where you want them to go. This is important because you can rearrange and change if you need to. Once they are glued, you are kind of stuck.
- Hot glue your greenery first on the front of wreath, you will want to layer the apple slices over the top of the greenery.
- Start to glue and overlap the apple slices arranging them in random order. You do not want to line them up in a straight line. Having them laid out, layered and random looks for natural and pleasing to the eye.
- Add the hot glue to the back of the apples so that you can place them exactly where you want them.
- Once you have the apples on there where you want them, add a piece of ribbon or twine to the top for hanging. I used twine, but may change it out for ribbon.
I love the way this simple apple slice wreath turned out.
The simplicity of the apples and the rustic appeal of the grapevine wreath are everything I love for my holiday decor. This holiday wreath is one of my favorites! I love using natural decoration in my home. It looks cozy and its super affordable too! Make your own apple wreath this year!
