How-to make caramel apples for your mini dolls


Supplies: mini wooden dowels, 3D fabric paint (caramel color), mod podge, Alieen's clear gel tacky glue, acrylic paint in apple green and mini wooden apples. If you are able to, purchase mini wooden apples with a hole on the bottom. I had to make small holes using a tiny nail and it split a few of the apples. That is OK too, because I will just paint them to look like they were cut in half.

Paint the apples

Apply a small amount of glue to the bottom of the apple

Lightly push the mini dowel into the hole and let dry


Cut the mini dowels to the size you want and sand the bottom

Cut a few mini dowels into very small pieces. You only need to do this step if you want to add nuts to your caramel apples.

Pour some of your 3D fabric paint inside a small plastic container

Take one of your apples by the stick and swirl it in the 3D fabric paint

Sprinkle the apples with the cut up mini dowels. Do not roll the apples into cut up dowels. It will mess up the 3D paint. Next dip the top of the apple into the fabric paint and place on a piece of parchment paper. Dipping the top again makes it look realistic and will help the apple stay up on its own. Let dry.

Add a few coats mod podge

 Done :-)
