DIY Thanksgiving Acorns

Nothing like the last minute to get me in gear!

We moved last weekend and my house is still a disaster

but I REALLY wanted to make these

DIY Thanksgiving Acorns.

I finally carved out some time . . . just before the big day!

They're super simple!

You'll need: a glue gun, some plastic Easter eggs, chalkboard paint, and jute.

Paint the eggs according to the directions on the paint bottle.

{FYI: mine took 24 hours to set.} 

Starting just above the center line of the egg, glue jute around and around the wider end of the egg, until you come to the top.

Cut the jute about 1/4 inch up, creating a little stem.

You can add designs or write guest's names with chalk and use them as a place-card.

{NOTE: Don't push too hard when writing or you'll scratch the paint.}

 

I thought it would be extra fun to add a personalized note inside for your loved-one;

kind of like a ridiculously adorable Thanksgiving fortune cookie. =)

How are you welcoming your holiday guests?
