Acorn necklaces

Gather lots of acorns

With all the Autumn changes in the air and the air getting steadily cooler we all try to restrain ourselves until it is an acceptable time to put up decorations, or wear a sweater. I've seen the fall crafts flood Pinterest, and wanted to try something myself when I saw acorn jewellery, I just had to try. You will need a string long enough for the length of your necklace, A few marbles, glue, and something to puncture a small hole in your acorn cap, and of course acorns. I didn't crack my marbles but I will add a link of how you can do that if you wish. https://pin.it/2DC2LTH 

take the caps off

 First, you uncap your acorns, how you do this depends on the type of acorns, and what you can use to help you. It can take some practice so get many more acorns than you think you need. Then, use your puncturing tool and poke two holes oposite of each other not far from the stem.

thread the string

 Be careful not to brake your cap in half. Next, take an embroidery needle or other tool and thread your string thorough the holes. Finally, glue your marbles in place. Let them dry, and ta-da you have a great acorn necklace that you made yourself.
