After watching My Neighbor Totoro 5 million times, I've loved little acorns. I decided to actually put my collection of tiny acorns to use and make some earrings!
They're not very complex or glamorous. I might dress them up later.
1
Gather your supplies! You need two similarly sized acorns, two eyepins, two earring hooks, and needlenose pliars. You could substitute the eyepins for some jewelry wire, if you please.
2
Poke a hole through the top of your acorn using a sturdy needle or a safety pin. It might be difficult to pierce but try to make the hole horizontal. Mine was a little slanted.
3
Bend your eyepin/wire and insert through the hole in the acorn, like so.
4
Bend the eyepin up around the other side of the acorn and twist excess around the straight part of the eyepin.
5
Put earring hooks through the loops and close the loops up. Tada~!
