As you can tell from the lack of words these really are the simplest things to make, but we think they make adorable decorations! For more Christmas nature craft inspiration check out our stunning Twig Chandelier and our wonderful Succulent Christmas Tree.

Love this!❤️❤️❤️ My sister & I glued acorns around a heavy duty paper plate, going inwards, till we had a acorn Christmas tree. Sprayed it with a sealer/lacquer. Let dry. Used mini ornaments to decorate. Made loads for gifts, but had a few left over. Put them in a plastic tub in attic, with other decorations. Unfortunately, mice in attic LOVED them too. FYI, make sure your acorn decorations are mouse proof when putting them in storage!!
Thanks Debbie. Your acorn tree sounds gorgeous, I’ll definitely be trying that next fall. And thanks for the mouse tip – it never occurred to me to keep them mouse proof!

I love your idea . I have tons of acorns Great Ideas.
Thanks Leslie, and thanks for taking the time to comment :)
What a cute was to reuse some of the acorns laying on the ground each year. I’ll have to remember this I’m sure the grandkids would love to decorate them.
Aren’t they sweet Linda, I always think we should be able to think up more ways to use acorns – they are always so perfect looking!
What a fun way to paint acorns! These are beautiful Christmas decorations!!
Thanks Keri to be honest acorns look lovely even without paint, but we did have lots of fun making these :)
Sarah, these are so adorable. They look like little jewels. So many cool things that you could use these for;Tree decorations, placed on a wreath, napkin holders, even add them to greenery around a candle stick or on your Christmas table! I am going to be looking for acorns, these are just too cool! Love the look the nail polish gives them, great idea. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks Nikki, your napkin ring is a genius idea – I’m definitely going to try that. I love the look the nail polish gives them too, reminds me of enameling :)
What a simple but so cute idea. Your twig tree will look adorable with all of these acorns hanging on it.

Thanks Bev, they really are simple to decorate – we love them :)
My friend and I are going to make these! I have a bunch of old nail polish and beads that I think would look great. We are also going to create something cute using sweetgum balls. Happy crafting!
Oh that sounds fun, please tag us if you take a photo – we’d love to see them :)
Ah man Sarah, you did it again. The acorn ornaments are beautiful.
Thanks Michelle – when I find a tiny one I’ll paint it up for one of your fairy gardens :)
Oh wow, really. That would be so awesome
