Acorn Pendant

This fall was like heaven for squirrels! Acorns EVERYWHERE. Sorry squirrels, I stole some! They're cute, versitile, and free.

My inspiration for this came from The handmade blog

The best part is all you need is:
-an acorn
-an acorn hat
-a jump ring
-a bead reamer
-Copper metallic paint
-Mod Podge!

Gather your acorns and hats.

fill the hat with glue

Press the acorn in nice and snug

use the bead reamer and ream a hole in the stem area of the acorn,
add your jump ring through the hole,
paint the acorn and hang it up somehow to dry
(I used salt and pepper shakers)

It takes several layers of paint, but once done, its adorable!
Now string it on chain, or make a pretty necklace.
A hemp necklace would look awesome as well!
