Rustic Acorn Craft for Fall

Make this Rustic Acorn Craft for Fall! I used a variety of pine cones that I bought already dried to make these decorative acorns.

This is a fun craft and will add a beautiful and unique touch to your fall decor. Make these for rustic acorns garland, add them to a wreath you’re making or just simply put them in a bowl to display.

Here’s how to make them…

Supplies

• White Chalk Paint
• Pinecones
• Small plastic Easter Egg (tops or elongated part)
• Lace ribbon or twine
• Hot glue gun
• Garden sheers
• Scissors

Tips on How to Cut Pine Cones

To get started, choose a few pine cones that have a top just slightly larger than your egg rim.

The round variety

I’m sure these have a name! I found these pine cones to be very tough and they had to be cut and shaped with garden sheers.

Long Pine Cones

I figured out that I could just twist the tops off of the longer pine cones with my hands. If I twisted one and the top was too small, I tried to use a middle section. Some of mine were so dry they crumbled but I had a bunch so I just grabbed another one.

How to Make Rustic Acorns

Paint the plastic Easter Eggs with White Chalk Paint and let them dry completely.

Hot-glue lace ribbon and/or twine onto the egg rims to decorate. Last, add a ring of hot glue all the way around the rim of the Easter Egg to glue the pine cone top on.
