Simple crafts sometimes turn out to be the cutest!  This adorable apple bell necklace from my APPLES unit doesn’t require a lot of time or materials.  It’s an easy apple craft for kids to make when studying apples this fall. They love wearing it because it jingles!

Apple Craft for Kids: Apple Bell Necklace

  • red acrylic paint
  • paintbrush
  • green ribbon
  • yarn or string
  • optional (but recommended): Mod Podge or clear sealer

Directions:

  1. Paint the bell with red acrylic paint.  I usually do two or three coats.  It dries really quickly in between each coat of paint.  I sometimes speed up the drying time even more by using a hairdryer.
  2. This step is optional, but recommended. Paint or spray a clear sealer on the bell for durability.  I’ve noticed without a sealer the paint does tend to scratch off sometimes.  I paint over mine with Mod Podge once the red paint dries and it works great. Apple Crafts for Kids | Apple Activities for Kids | Apple Art Projects for Kids
  3. Cut a small piece of green ribbon and slide it under the top loop of the bell.  A polka dot ribbon is also a cute option. Apple Crafts for Kids | Apple Activities for Kids | Apple Art Projects for KidsTie the ribbon in a knot.  Cut off the excess ribbon, leaving a little to make the leaves. Apple Craft for Kids | Apple Activities for Kids | Apple Art Projects for Kids
  4. Cut the yarn or string the length you need to make the necklace.  Thread it through the loop and tie the ends together in a knot. That’s it!

Use different string and ribbons to get different looks.  Here’s one we made with polka dot ribbon and twine:Apple Crafts for Kids | Apple Activities for Kids | Apple Art Projects for Kids
