Toilet Paper Apples are an adorably easy craft for all ages that look cute anywhere you place them! Apple season is so close that we can almost taste it! ?? When it comes to autumn, I look forward to the wonderful smells, like apple cinnamon and pumpkin spice, as well as the beautiful decor. Fall is a time that looks, feels, and smells cozy, don’t you agree? The sun starts to set a little sooner, leaves fall decorating the streets with the festive colors of the season, and our crock pot comes out to slow cook our favorite recipes.
Toilet Paper Apples
Last year, we made these Toilet Paper Pumpkins, and they were such a huge hit with you all! See the full tutorial here. They are SO SIMPLE to assemble that you’ll be giddy when you do them! What I love most is that they will last all the way through Thanksgiving. No gluing, no sewing, no hard crafting is involved with the making of my toilet paper pumpkins.

Pin It NowWould you ever believe that these cute decorative apples start with a simple roll of toilet paper? We all have these at home, so why not use them to decorate? So cute! The rest of the supplies can be found at any craft store or even Walmart.
Supplies:
- Rolls of toilet paper (any size)
- Fat Quarter cuts of fabric in colors of choice
- Cinnamon sticks or branches/twigs from outside
- Silk leaves. I like to pick them off of inexpensive bunches of flowers.
- *Optional* – apple or fall fragrance oil
If you have ever worked with fabric, then you know what “fat quarters” are. They are a standard size cut of fabric (18″ x 21″) that you can buy for SUPER inexpensive prices. Sometimes buying fabric can be pricey, but fat quarters are perfect for little projects like these:) I got these exact fat quarters in the fabric section at Walmart for $1.49.
What I love most about Toilet paper apples and toilet paper pumpkins is that you can save the supplies and reuse them year after year. How’s that for thrifty? Just a couple of dollars will last for years and create cute decorations for any place around the house, classroom, or office!
A fat quarter-sized piece of cloth wraps perfectly around ANY-size toilet paper roll! I think it would be cute to have different-sized apples bunched up together using different-sized rolls of toilet paper.
I used cinnamon sticks as the apple stem. They smell SO good and are the perfect fragrance to go with apple decor:) Plus, you can save them by placing them in a sealed plastic baggie. Mine have lasted for years now! But, real sticks or even popsicle sticks could work for this part too. Be creative! No two apples are alike!
I found an inexpensive flower that had leaves that reminded me of apple leaves. Pretty much any silk leaf will work for this part as long as it is green! Consider using silk leaves you already have. Just pluck them off and place one next to the cinnamon sticks.
Tip
I think it would be cute to sprinkle a little apple or apple cinnamon fragrance oil on the center of the rolls. That way the toilet paper pumpkins act like a potpourri in any room they’re used!
