Needle felt acorns decorations – how to make them
To make these acorn decorations I collected all the acorn tops in my local park, spread them on a large baking tray and let them dry overnight. Alternatively you could obviously order them online.
Once dry, start by drilling a small hole into the centre of the acorn top and then paint the acorns if you’re going to. I’ve added a dark gold paint to mine.
Cut a 15cm string, fold it in half and push a small part of it through the hole of the acorn.
Glue the felt ball into the acorn, which as well will hold the string in place. Let it dry.
Thread the wooden bead onto the string. Tie both ends of the string together and you have created quite unique Christmas acorn decorations. Happy crafting everyone!
