Decorative Acorn Craft

As seen below, today my mom is making an acorn craft with a wicker trinket basket, a glass candle holder, a cut branch, and dried moss.

  1. The wicker trinket basket is acquired from Dollar Tree. To make it proportional to the glass candle holder (also purchased at Dollar Tree), cut off the gray top portion. Set aside.

  2. Take out acorn-colored paint, or pumpkin-colored (if preferred). Paint and dry between coats; it takes two to three coats for covereage.

  3. Then, take outside for clear coat protective spray to provide durability.

  4. Next, cut the branch to desired length for stem. Use glue gun to afix stem to the bottom of the wicker basket.

  5. Use glue gun again to place dried moss around the stem.

Acorn can be used as a candy jar, candle holder (with top off), or with decorative fairy lights.
