Fall Acorn Mirror

Well, sorry I have been away so long.

I have a fun craft that even the kids can get in on....

First take a nice walk under some oak trees and collect some acorn caps.  I love this part of the craft because I love taking walks in the fall and hearing the twigs and acorns crunch under my feet.  :-)
Try to get them close to the same size.

I went to a thrift store and found a nice size mirror with a flat, wide wooden frame (flat frame works the best)   and then start hot gluing the acorn caps onto the frame.  I did two rows, but you can do as many as fit around the edge of the mirror.  I would lay them out on the frame before you start gluing just to make sure you have them laid in a way that they are going to fit.




good luck and have fun on your walk  :-)
