I made these little house ornaments the other night. I used the template from Orange Flower, but ended up changing the shape a bit as I made more. Still don’t have one that’s just right. So I’ll be making more! I think they would be nice in all white too. There are lots of house ornaments available on Etsy too (see yesterday’s post).
Glittery acorn garland made by brushing some glue on the bottom of the acorn and dipping in glitter. I used that wonderful tiny glitter from Martha Stewart. The three-year-old very much enjoyed helping with this project, as she adores all things sparkly. This is sort of a fall to winter holiday decoration, but I suppose it will need to be tossed as the acorns start to rot? We’ll see.
An acorn picture frame. Or maybe with a ribbon it will be a rectangular wreath? It’s just some acorn tops glued to a wooden frame. I was inspired by a project from the lovely French magazine Marie Claire Idées, but they used a wider oval shaped frame which allowed several neat rows of acorn tops.
A quick and easy project to add a handmade touch to the Thanksgiving table.
Supplies (for 4 coasters):
Done!
I’m hoping that we don’t end up with eggs on our front door, but we’ll be giving out a sticker and one piece of candy per person (hold the melamine and artificial colors, please). So here is a sticker page with the image above if you want to do the same: Halloween Sticker Page. This sheet will work on Avery 3111, but we just had some sticker sheets around the house.
