Alrighty, it's time for that tutorial I've been promising y'all. (Bytheway, just because I've been living in the South doesn't mean I've picked up on their favorite saying. I keep it strictly to the blogging world so you will never hear y'all come out of my mouth in real life!)

The lovely acorn ring giveaway which just ended is a preview of this post. Just incase anyone has a bag full of painted and varnished acorn tops lying around and they are scratching their heads about what to do with them... I've totally been there! I can relate. For my little bird nest inspired bobble I only used 3 materials and 3 tools.

To start I cut 6 pieces of wire approximately 10 inches long and braided them together.

Then I cut 3 more pieces of wire and threaded them through a pearl before poking them through my previously drilled holes in the bottom of the acorn.

Attaching the two groups of wire is easy because I simply stuck them through the holes in the braid. Then I wrapped the braid around a chapstick tube to estimate the size for the finger and attached it on the other side of the acorn.

I have so many acorns left! One reader mentioned making a windchime and I really like that idea! I also think more jewelry options are in their future. For now, you can help me relieve some of these little guys by getting your own ring in my shop. I can honestly make any color or size you want! Just say the word.
