Become a mad scientist in ATV’s Gross Out Lab and learn how to create a monster out of an apple.

Apple
Carving knife
Cotton swabs or q-tips

REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

  1. Take an apple and carve eyes into the front of it with a knife. You may want to have your adult helper do this for you. You can cut any kind of eyes into it that you want. Be sure to only cut out the outer layer of skin from the apple. Use the knife like a pencil to draw/carve out your facial feature and then slide the point of the knife underneath the skin to remove it.
  2. Carve in a mouth using the same technique as with the eyes. You can add features to the mouth if you want, like fangs or a tongue.
  3. Make some slices into the sides of your apple’s face for cheekbones and other facial features. As the apple rots, these features will sink and tighten up to look really gross and realistic.
  4. Take some q-tips and cut them in half. Stick them right into the top of the apple. These will be the hair for your apple monster. You can also use things like pipe cleaners and wooden skewers. You can even use them to make things like teeth.
  5. Set the completed apple aside for about two weeks, checking in on it from time to time. After two weeks, it will look like a really disgusting monster!
