If you’ve been looking for small ways to decorate your home for fall and show off your creativity, we have the perfect craft for you. These small ornaments can make charming gifts as well as centerpiece garnishes— the possibilities are endless. Plus, you’ll be getting rid of some of those pesky acorns from all over your lawn.
WHAT YOU NEED
Hot glue
Cork
Acorn
Jump ring and string (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Take an acorn and carefully detach the cupule, or the top “cap” of the acorn. These can be delicate pieces, so patience is key.
2. Once detached, take the acorn cap and add a small dab of hot glue on the inside to attach it to an old wine cork. The result is a lovely little mushroom, which you can paint to match any color scheme or leave as is.
3. If you want to make it into an ornament, you can glue a small jump ring from any jewelry kit to the top of the acorn cap and thread some string through it and tie it in a loop. You can also simply glue some string or thin wire to the top. Alternately, you can add a small wire to the base and use it to decorate a plant.
