“A” is for Acorn Wreath

August 29, 2013

Craft: glittered acorn wreath
Make a simple circle wreath from acorns and glitter.
Our driveway is littered with acorns just asking to be used in a project.

Acorns are plentiful this time of year and make for great Fall decor:

This glittered acorn wreath hangs on our new front door ready for Fall to come knocking.
Here’s how to make a glittered acorn wreath:

1. Gather acorns, at least 50.
2. Wash and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.  (It will NOT smell nice.)
3. Using a 7/64 drill bit make a whole at the fattest part of the acorn cap going straight through to the other side:
4. Prepare wire ring.  I used an existing wire wreath form and popped off the center (smallest) ring:
5. Make a break in the ring where it was naturally welded together:

6. Start stringing acorns onto end of wire ring:
Fill up ring:

Leave about 1″ at both ends:

7. Using a pliers bend ends of wires to make hooks:

Then close ring by hooking the ends:

8. Glitter: I mixed orange and silver:

9. Apply a small dab of white school glue to the nut portion only of the acorn then spread with a paint brush:

10.  Shake glitter onto glue over a paper in order to save excess:
   
11. Add burlap ribbon and hang.

    I did a similar treatment to my acorns last year with glitter nail polish 🙂 That could be another way of achieving this look too!

    I love the tips for putting them on a wire wreath form!
