Gather all supplies. To create each acorn, line up five jumbo craft sticks on your work surface in a graduated pattern. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the acorn and attach with a glue gun and glue sticks.
-
TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
-
Trim the top edge of the craft sticks even with the shortest craft stick using scissors.
-
Basecoat the front and sides of the acorns with medium brown acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.
-
Download, print and cut out the Acorn Patterns with scissors. Trace twice onto dark brown craft foam. Cut out with scissors.
-
Attach the acorn caps to the top of the acorns with a glue gun and glue sticks.
-
Using a detail paintbrush, create an “X” pattern on the craft foam with medium brown acrylic craft paint. You could also use a brown paint pen and a scallop pattern.
-
Add a face to the acorn by attaching two wiggle eyes with a glue gun and glue sticks. Add cheeks by dipping a new pencil eraser in pink acrylic craft paint and dotting on either side of the face.
-
Draw a mouth from cheek to cheek with a permanent black marker.
-
To finish the acorn, tie a bow with natural jute twine and attach to the acorn stem with a glue gun and glue sticks.
