DIY Acorn Christmas Tree Decorations

Before the snow falls, go out and gather acorn tops to make some inexpensive holiday decorations. This year our yard was filled with acorns, I guess we are preparing for a cold winter. BOO. Anyway, I solicited some young neighbors to go on an acorn hunt and gather a bunch of acorn tops. With just some hot glue and styrofoam trees, we can make these acorn Christmas tree decorations.

Now that they are  complete pull out some white spray paint and cover the trees lightly. I liked a little brown showing. This might look nice in silver also!

Once they are dried, you can choose to put them in your holiday decor wherever you see fit.
