How to Make DIY Dollar Tree Acorns

Diy Dollar Tree Acorns

To begin, gather all supplies.

Paint the outside of the three plastic Easter Eggs roughly with dark brown craft paint and a dry paintbrush.

Set aside to dry.

These are solid plastic Easter eggs, if using the split eggs, glue them closed before painting.

Cut a piece of burlap ribbon and secure the painted egg in the center with a glue gun and glue sticks.

Liquid craft glue can be used for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.

Repeat with the long sides of the burlap ribbon and additional glue.

Continue to pleat and fold the burlap around the entire circumference of the egg, securing each section of ribbon using a glue gun and glue sticks.

Work around the egg, until the entire surface is covered with the burlap ribbon.

After gluing, hold each section in place with the metal blades of the scissors until the hot glue is set.

This will prevent your fingertips from getting burned.

Tie the natural jute twine in a double knot around the twig.

This will make a good base to start to adhere the twine around the top of the egg.

Trim the long end of the twine with scissors.

To finish, trim the twig to ½” long with a pair of wire cutters.
