Here’s How To Make Your Own Acorn Craft
- First, paint your eggs. Dip the tip of your paint brush into your paint and evenly apply your first coat of paint onto the surface of your egg. Once the surface is fully covered, let your egg air dry.
Note: Painting is easy with a stable surface! To help keep your egg stable while you’re painting, separate the egg top from the egg bottom and use your hand to hold the top/bottom steady while painting.
- Next, attach your twine. Once the paint on your acorn body is completely dry, use the twine and hot glue to create your signature acorn cap. Apply a thin layer of hot glue to the small part of your egg body and while the glue is still hot, begin to wrap your twine around the tapered end of your egg, towards the top.
- Once you’ve reached the top, snip your twine, leaving a small loose end for your acorn stem.
- Finally, display your acorns around your home and impress your family and friends with these adorable DIY acorns.
