Instructions

  • Collect as many acorns as you would like; the larger the better. Wash them and let dry. Bake in a 200 degree oven for a few hours to kill any bugs inside.
  • Choose your base color. Paint the bases of all the acorns, one side at a time, using the paintbrush. Set aside on a covered work surface and let dry.
  • Flip the acorns over and repeat. You may need two coats of paint depending on the color you chose. Let dry.
  • Paint the tops of the acorns; again, you may need a second coat. Let dry.
  • Seal all acorns with Satin Mod Podge and let dry. Add to a vase to display.

Notes

My project was free - I already had the glass vase. If you need to get a glass vase, I recommend Dollar Tree.
