When you read about making these, picture them in multi-colors, on a wreath, in a bowl, or sprinkled across your dining table.

Some years are better than others for acorns around here.
If you don't have any acorns in your area faux acorns can be purchased on Amazon and will work just as well as real ones.
I began by removing the caps and painting my acorns orange.
I created a beautiful DIY orange paint by mixing a few great colors.
I've seen it suggested that you should spray the acorns with bug spray before you paint them to kill any bugs that might be inside.
I've also heard that putting them in the oven on 250 for 30 minutes or so will kill any bugs too.
After letting the acorns dry I coated the painted acorns with Modge Podge.
I then rolled the acorns around in a very fine orange glitter.
I used orange but you could use any color!
When the beautiful little acorns were dry, I hot glued the caps back on.
These glittered acorns are a gorgeous little fall accent to fill a dough bowl or basket.
The inspiration for my glittered acorns came from several projects I pinned to my Fall Pinterest Board
Please follow Homeroad on Pinterest for more awesome inspiration from my almost 4.7 million monthly pins!
