Rather than try to look like a pony, I took inspiration from the human version of Applejack: Jeans, "cowboy" hat (I used a straw hat), yellow wig, and a white button down shirt... with a green yoke. My white shirt doesn't have a green yoke. So, I added one!
First I used paper to make a template for the area I wanted to cover. Using the template I cut two pieces of green fabric that was 1/4" larger all the way around, ironed under that 1/4", then painted three apples on one side with fabric paint (regular paint would work too if you won't be washing it). Lastly I used my secret weapon: washable glue stick. Yes, you heard right, I glued the fabric to my shirt. It sticks great, and then I can peel off the decal and run the shirt through the wash!
Tip: this works best on fabric that doesn't stretch. If you'll be applying it to a knit shirt, try putting it in a spot that won't get much movement or stretching (perhaps the forearm of a sleeve) and/or lightly basting the edges.
