Acorn Afternoon

Since I have found so many fun things to do with acorns on Pinterest, my son Jonah and I went on a walk in our neighborhood to gather some. I want to use them in my apothecary jars. I haven't decided if I am going to use glitter or paint, but the possibilites are endless!


We found tons of acorns! I think we nearly filled an entire gallon ziploc bag, so I am sure there will be plenty for me to play with. I was thinking of glittering the caps or painting them. I may not have to do anything at all because I think they are kind of pretty already.


Now I am off to eat some pie. It is my birthday after all!

p.s. You asked for my Pinterest link, you got it!

    They are definitely beautiful as is, although I"m sure it would be fun to paint them too.
    Happy Birthday!!

    you can have the boys use the acorns to paint, use them the same as you would marbles.

    Happy Birthday. Hope you had a great one.

    Oh, PLEEEEEASE come to my home and pick up our acorns. You can have them all!! There's a huge oak tree in my neighbor's yard on the fence line, and those little acorns litter our yard every year. This past summer, our neighbor put up a metal shed in his yard...it's starting to sound like a shooting range out there now that the acorns are falling on the metal roof! :) Those are beautiful pictures. Maybe I'll get inspired by something you do and start collecting those darn acorns this year :)

    That's so fun and what a great idea to use them in fall decor! I love the photo of him holding out his handful. I'm going to have to see if I can find some, if not for decor at least they'll be fun to photograph!

    Your thistle photo is particularly interesting to me.
