Secure the fabric around the top of the bottle with a rubber band.
-
Step 5
Fold the fabric down around the rubber band, and tie a piece of ribbon or lace at the neck to hide the rubber band.
-
Step 6
Cut 10 to 15 strands of yarn for the hair. Add 2 inches to the overall length.
-
Step 7
Gather the strands and fold in half, tying with a small piece of yarn in the middle.
-
Step 8
Braid or frizz out the yarn in whatever hairstyle you want.
-
Step 9
Push the "part" of the hair (about 2 inches of yarn) gently into the top of the dried apple.
