Felted Wool Acorns

We have an abundant of Oak trees on our property and with Oak trees comes lots of acorns!  What to do with them all?  Last Fall, I suggested the idea to collect and store them in our garage.  When the harshest snowy months arrived, we cleared a spot in our yard and placed acorns every few days for the deer and squirrels.  I think that acorn collecting is going to become a Fall tradition at our home along with making felted wool acorns.  These colorful and fuzzy little dots brought such goodness and warmth when scattered around the house.  I especially loved putting them in unexpected spots in our home.  You just can’t resist touching them!

Interested in making your own felted wool acorns?  I’ll post instructions here later this evening.
