We have made "shrunken heads" at our annual Spooky Science event. 
Poke a hole through the center of a peeled apple with a knitting needle and
pull some yarn through w/ a crochet needle. The kids carved out faces with a
plastic knife and stuck beads, pipe cleaners and yarn in the dug-outs. As
the apple dries it shrinks and holds the ornaments. Tips: Don't do it on a
carpeted area and you need to get a good apple peeler!
