Day 13: How to Make a Felt Ball Acorn Ornament

DIY Felt Ball Acorn Ornament

Step 1. Gather supplies.

Supplies needed:

Felt Balls (20mm balls are my favorite)
Acorn Caps (preserve the acorn caps if you collect your own)
Twine
Scissors
Hot Glue Gun and Glue

Step 2. Match up acorn caps to felt balls according to size.

Step 3. Hot glue an acorn cap onto each felt ball.

Step 4. Cut one 12-18" piece of twine for each of your felt ball acorns.

Step 5. Hot glue a twine piece onto the top of an acorn cap, let dry. Repeat for all felt acorns.

Step 6. Grab the free end of all the twine pieces, stagger the felt acorns, make a loop and knot the twine. Trim off excess.

Step 7. Inspect and hang up the felt ball acorn ornament!

When I set out to make today's ornament, I had a general idea I wanted to try with the felt ball acorns, but I really didn't know what I would actually end up making.

I just knew I wanted to make SOME kind of ornament with them because I love felt ball acorns so much.

Thankfully, my idea turned out even better than I hoped and I LOVE the result!

The colors of the felt balls in this ornament can be customized to match your holiday decor, and the number of felt acorns you include in the ornament can be changed depending on your personal preference.

The sky is the limit!
