Adorable Acorn Necklaces

September 1, 2016 by Shellie Wilson

DIY

Oh my goodness how can something so simple be turned in to something so cute? I love these little acorn characters, especially the French guy. I can almost hear its French accent as he tells me a story about wine or champagne.

Fun project for kids. Acorn Necklaces.

The acorn nut, or oak nut, is the nut of the oaks and their close relatives. It usually contains a single seed, enclosed in a tough, leathery shell, and borne in a cup-shaped cupule.

Acorns are 1–6 cm long and 0.8–4 cm broad and have so much crafting potential.  Don’t throw these little guys out as even thrown into a bowl on a table they look great.

The supplies needed for this project are basic and inexpensive.

How to Make a Light Up Halloween Card

How to Make a Light Up Halloween Card

This week on the Card Making blog is all about Ghosts, they appear to be the it thing for the Spooky Season this year. And what’s better than a handmade Ghost card, how about one that also lights up!? For the background of this fun interactive card Deborah created a spooky pattern by using spider web die cuts as stencils, adding sequin for some shimmer. On the back of that panel she applied tiny EZ-Lights and then she die cut three ghosts, placing them over the lights. She also added a stamped “press” for the button and a fun foiled Halloween sentiment.

Visit the Pear Blossom Press blog to watch her video tutorial.
