Fall Crafts: How To Make Acorn Necklaces

What a great way to enjoy a beautiful Fall day by taking a walk and picking up acorns. When you arrive home from your nature walk with all these acorns you have to certainly put them to good use. There's many things you can do with acorns but I'm going to tell you how to make an acorn necklace. This is the perfect craft for toddlers especially, but kids of all ages are bound to enjoy this as well.

In order to make these acorn necklaces you are going to need these materials:

Capped acorns, Tacky glue, Fuzzy yarn and wool, Permanent marker, Scissors, String

Gather capped acorns and carefully remove the caps.


To make hair, put one large drop of tacky glue on the top of each acorn and press wisps of fuzzy yarn and wool roving into it. After applying a second drop onto the wisps, put the caps back on and hold them on for one minute.


Use a permanent marker to draw faces. Trim the hair, then make "chains" by tying string around the cap stem and securing it with a drop of glue.
