Below, I have created an inspiration board for you to see where my idea came from.

2. Blue Wool Felted Acorns
3. White Wool Felted Acorns
4. Acorns in a Bowl
If you'd like to make some for yourself,
YOU WILL NEED:
- Creative Paperclay® modeling material
- Acorn tops without the acorns (dirty doesn't matter)
- Crafter's Pick the Ultimate Glue (any good glue will do)
- Matte Finish Krylon Sealant spray
First, I went outside and gathered some acorns from my yard.
They were a little dirty, so I put them in a tupperware container with some warm, soapy water, and swished them around for a bit. Then I set them on a paper towel to dry.
Next, I rolled some Creative Paperclay® into acorn shapes, and put them with my acorn tops to dry. I made them in various sizes, and set them upside down on the tray so that they wouldn't be flat on the body side of the acorns.
Once they were dry, I sanded the pieces down, and filled any cracks. Then I glued their tops on, and sprayed the unfinished clay with Krylon Matte finish. What do you think? I think they look great.
I hope you try your hand at making your own acorns! They were super dee duperly easy. Let me know if you try them! I would love for you to visit me at my "house" too!! Thank you so much for reading!! ~rachel
