Here’s a simple leaf rubbing project that you can do with the kids. Find instructions in my post over at Alpha Mom.
A Couple of Acorn Projects
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.
Felt Acorns
Here are some little needle felted acorns that I made. I first saw this idea over at Betz White and have since seen lots on Etsy. I had trouble getting the tips to be properly pointed, but these will likely just be tossed around our house anyway. Maybe we’ll come up with an acorn game. I collected a large bag of acorns and acorn tops in North Carolina a few weeks ago, so you might be seeing more acorn projects later this week.
