Fabric Acorns (No-Sew!)

Well, after a busy and fun summer filled with big, big painting projects I worked on a teeny, tiny fall project that I love and was so easy to make--adorable fabric acorns. The best part is the ones I made are no-sew! (and no worm...real acorns are filled with them!)

I first saw this idea in BHG from Sweet Paul. The ones he made were velvetey fabric, which looked amazing...but a weird fact about me is I can't stand the feel of it...so I made mine with soft, silky touchable  fabric scraps in some of my favorite colors, finishing them off with a tiny bead on the end. These are so easy a kid could make them! So, if you want to get started...

Here's what I used to make them: 

• fabric scraps
• scissors
• cotton balls
• acorn caps
• hot glue gun
• tiny glass beads

First, cut out a square of fabric about 2x2 inches.

Then, wrap a cotton ball around the fabric. 

Squeeze some hot glue into the acorn cap.

Attach the stuffed fabric, pushing into the cap until the glue cools.

Finish with a dab of glue and a tiny bead on the end.

Done! 

I love looking at these tiny jewels and they are quite addicting to make. I would love to try a few in burlap or felt, and plan on showing mine off through Christmas. Wouldn't they be cute little ornaments or garland?
