Acorn Necklace Pendants

One of the most beautiful finds in nature are acorns. Acorns are so whimsical with those cute little caps and the possibilities with them are endless! They make the most perfect little pocket to hold little treasures. Over the past week Grace has been collecting acorns as we went on our daily nature walk. She has quite the collection! Today Grace made acorn pendants with several of her acorns. To make these Grace simply filled her acorn caps with glue and placed small treasures inside of them. Grace chose lavender, glitter, poms, rocks, and cinnamon as her treasure choices to fill her acorn caps. Once the glue dries we will screw tiny eye screws into the acorn caps and later attach the pendants to cording to make acorn necklaces. I'll post picture of Grace wearing her acorn necklaces once they are finished!

Oh, I Love them, Love them !!
May, I very please, have one to wear?
I have always loved acorns and this project and activity just adds to their delight. What a terrific Autumn idea. Perfect in every way!
Grace is as strong and as stately and as majestic as an Oak Tree from which all the acorns come!
Love, Maddy

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
