My jigsaw had been sitting in the closet for way too long, so I figured it was time to dust it off and make another project for my seasonal shelf.
I started by cutting an apple shape out of wood. For painting, I used the same technique as this project, but I antiqued them a little. I painted the base coat (1 part white and 1 part colored paint).
Then, I added my vinyl stencil
and painted over it with my top color.
After the paint dried, I removed the vinyl
and gave it a light sanding.
I used some antiquing glaze (like in this project) and sanded one more time.
To finish it off, I drilled a hole in the top, added a small branch, and tied it off with some green fabric.
I just love how they turned out!
You can download the free SVG file for this project so you can make your own! I keep all the SVG files I use for the projects I make in my free SVG Library. These SVG files work with Cricut and Silhouette machines, as well as many others. This library is open to everyone and is free! You can access the library here. Look for the file called Swirly Apples. It will be listed under the Fall category.
These are adorable! What a cute teacher gift they'd be, and they're perfect for fall. I'd be thrilled if you'd share them here:
