Time for another Craft Lightning.... crafts in 15 minutes or less for Christmas.
I always love to see what everyone comes up with.
It is a glorious fall where I live and I have gathered some sweet acorns for this quick craft.
Clean them and be sure you have a cap and an acorn for each ornament.
Drill a hole in the cap of each acorn.
Cut a piece of wire for each one about two inches long.
Twist the wire to make a loop as shown.
Push the ends of the wire together and slide them down through the acorn cap.
Once through, open the wires on the inside.
Use a hot glue gun to glue the acorns into the cap.
Gather your glitter and glittering glue.
I really do the stuff Martha Stewart makes for this.
Brush on the glue, and sprinkle with glitter.
Tap off excess.
Allow to fully dry and add a little twine hanger.
These make great gift toppers or ornaments.
A quick tip: You can either buy processed acorns or gather your own.
If you gather your own, it is best to bake them in a craft dedicated toaster oven at 150 degrees for about 30 minutes to kill any critters dwelling within.
