I love the felted rainbow colored acorns from
the Magic Onions and her Etsy Shop.
Sadly, I seem to be the only crafter in America
who can't figure out how to do
successful wet-felting.
I've tried and failed miserably.
I was in the back yard last week,
surrounded by millions of acorn caps
and wondered if you could add a pom-pom
to get the "fuzzy acorn effect".
So, yesterday I sat down in the studio
with a craft glue bottle in hand
and started gluing pom-poms into acorn caps.
(bet you could use a glue gun too -
but this was more kid friendly)
I even tried trimming a few with scissors to
get a more pointy "acorn effect"
I like the round ones.
(the little gray ones remind me of pussy willows)
Then I decided they
needed some colorful leaves
to keep them company
and started cutting leaf shapes
out of my felt scrap basket stash.
Ta-da...so happy!
I think these will find a home in our
fairy land after the thanksgiving holidays!
