This article shows how to make shrunken apple head dolls, which was one of my favorite Halloween crafts growing up -- http://bit.ly/3t1YBK Apples are really cheap now and the only other ingredient that you need to pull this off (aside from a little artistic creativity) is VINEGAR!!! Green for the planet and your budget :)
