DIY Poison Apple and Spell Book (with FREE printable!)

Just in time for OCTOBER, and Halloween decor! Make your own poison apple and spell book! This book and apple sits with all of my potion and specimen bottles on my witch table during the Halloween season.

This is what you'll need for your apple:

I love quick crafts! Something great... quick and cheap! Most supplies you can find at your local Wal-Mart, craft supply, and even the dollar store! 

· Using your pencil, draw drip marks and a sloppy skeleton face (eye holes, and nose) on fake apple. 

· Once you've drawn your desired "poison drip" skull look, go over your pencil markings with your sharpie marker. Color in the gaps too! Make sure to keep the eye holes, nose, and lower half of the apple below the drips exposed with no marker!

· Now, take your hot glue gun and trace the drip shape and eye and nose with the glue. Fill in here and there, creating a goopy, lumpy, drippy look. Keep glue off the areas of apple that stay red, original, and exposed! 

· Once glue is dry, carefully go over the drippy skull shape with the black craft paint. 

· Next, go over it with the shiny, green glitter craft paint, and let dry. 

· You can keep the apple as is, or add a tiny jute bow and tail coming up from the stem... to look as though the apple was recently dipped in poison!

Next up is the book! All you need for this quick DIY is an old book of any size that you don't mind turning into a spell book decoration! You can also find tons of great books for pennies at your local thrift store. You'll need to print the 2 free pintable pages below in the page size of the book you'll be using. 

I created these pages using the "spell" from Snow White. You're welcome to use these pages for personal use. If you share, please give Penny-Wise and Posh the credit!

· Print spell book pages. Open your book to the middle, and mount your spell pages to the pages in your book using a glue stick. 

· Using a pencil, curl up the corners of the pages to make it look used and "well loved". 

· You can also dab stamp ink to the edges of the book to create a worn distressed look. 

· If you desire, you can add a satin or crushed velvet piece of ribbon to the center of the book to look like a bookmark... obviously saving the witches most precious spell! Bwahahaha! *evil witch cackle*

· Display flat and open on a table, or upright on an easel... with your poison apple to the side! 

Happy spooky crafting!
