For this craft, go to the expert: Martha Stewart. On a segment of her television show, Stewart offered an awesome method to create shrunken apple head decorations, including a lemon juice-salt soak that will let your apple dry without molding.

The apple above left is one carving attempt at the beginning of the project. The right-hand image is the finished, dried craft Stewart made.

Once you've prepared your apple heads, suspend them from the ceiling at eye level, impale them on sticks in your front yard, or arrange them on a window sill platter, and watch them shrivel.
