Acorn garland is another fun project. You need collected acorns, a small paintbrush glitter, crafting glue, tiny eye hooks and twine. Simply add a dab of glue at the end of each eye hook and then carefully screw one into the top of each acorn. Paint the acorn tops with glue and then coat them in glitter. Once all the glue dries, string the twine through each hook and then tie a knot to keep the acorns from sliding. You could also skip the eye hooks altogether and just fill a glass canister with a handful of glittered acorns.
Both of these crafts adorn my mantel, along with other knickknacks that I've gathered: an antique vase filled with cinnamon sticks, an over-sized pine cone, candles, crocheted snowflakes, an old spool wrapped with red twine, old wood ornaments and other fun finds.
