I wanted a rustic, chipped look so I didn't want them completely covered in glitter. To accomplish this, I pulled the tops off and then put the bottoms in a ziploc bag (1 bag for each colour of glitter). I sprayed them with spray adhesive, poured in the glitter, and gave it a good shaking. Easy - just like Shake n Bake! Then I used hot glue to stick the tops back on.
Easy, peasy right? My little nephew thought they were just amazing.. he even pocketed some to take home with him! I put them in a vase and they look so cute in my little fall vignette space, don't you think?
Super cute! And what a smart way to make them the way you wanted them!
ReplyDeleteSuper easy and very cute! Never thought to do acorns and I have SO many in my yard. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThese look cool. I haven't seen any acorns lately. I think I'm going to try it will pine cones though, we have plenty of those. ;-)
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the networking blog hop.
Love those glittered acorns. I love to find things in nature to use in decorating. Displaying them in the glass container really shows them off. I can see them hanging from a mini Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those diaper years! They are quickly gone.

What a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteThose are SO cute! They look beautiful in that jar.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty. They would go perfectly in the new color scheme of my living room! We had a jar full of acorns a few years ago that my boys collected - only to find little acorn worms had crawled out of them! Eck!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteI love glittered stuff. These are too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy 9 year old daughter would LOVE these...we've glittered so many things, but never acorns.
ReplyDeleteWe'd love it if you stop by and share it our our Linky Party: Family Recipes and Crafts Linky Party
Hope you stop by!
Nice idea for the acorns I just discovered growing on a tree in our backyard! :) Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little obsessed with fine glitter these day! Love the colors! I am looking for some fun crafts to feature on my web site soon...would love for you to submit your project!

I hope you don't get "critters". I used acorns with other nuts for a fall sorting activity at school and I won't do that again. Bugs..wormy things...it was gross. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteI actually washed them all very well before I used them. Thank you for the concern though!
DeleteI wouldn't have thought that would be so easy! LOVE
