Fun with Acorns

I began this post on 10/6 thinking it wouldn't take me long to finish the project.  I laugh now because I had no idea. 


So, here's where I began:
*********************************
We have had a month of constant roof bangs.  The end result was a yard covered in Acorns.  The kids & I began collecting them for fun.  We had so many I started searching for acorn crafts.  I found this wreath project & thought it was pretty neat.

It may have actually looked pretty neat keeping it natural without spray paint. Maybe a clear coat of paint???  

Where I almost messed up was with the Styrofoam wreath I used.  It wasn't until I was done gluing the acorns on that I found out Spray Paint would melt the Styrofoam.  I found out there is an H2O spray paint but I couldn't find it anywhere in NW Arkansas.  I finally just ordered it off Amazon.

This was a fun project but it did take many hours of gluing & many finger burns.
