Welcome to this week's project! I have been having lots of fun making these caramel apple cards.

They are quick and easy to put together.

Cut it out, including most of the leaves on top.

Trace *two* apples onto a piece of paper.

On one of the apples, draw a dripping caramel pattern. Be as messy as you like-it's hot caramel after all!

Cut out caramel and apple patterns.

Trace onto brown and green and/or red cardstock.

Shade the caramel edges with a brown ink pad, if desired.
![Caramel apples](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3241/2876561629_1a3b549f4e.jpg)
Glue caramel to front of apples.
![Popsicle stick](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3198/2876561595_408ee99a45.jpg)
Glue a popsicle stick to the back.
![Ribbon](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3236/2876561569_360bc262e7.jpg)
Tie on a little ribbon.

Or a "sweet" tag.

You can send to a friend as is, or glue apple to the front of a card.

Another fun idea is to place your card in a clear goodie bag, along with shredded paper and lots of caramel candies!

ReplyDeleteHi Kelli- These candy apples are wonderful! I'm using your idea for Sunday School this week. I've made the "candy apples" and put the memeory verse on the apple. Then I used the tag to say "(Child's Name Here) Memory Verse". They turned out wonderful and I wanted to thank you for sharing art!!! They go perfect with the lesson I already had planned. Have a blessed day! -Jules
