I painted the seed part a Tiffany blue. Then glued on the crown and a piece of string.
Viola! My cat proof, substitute, small, second class and artificial Christmas tree gets adorned. Let the Christmas season begin!

News Flash... Deer starve as acorn ornament craze hits heartland.
We picked up a (small) stash of acorns on a hike last fall. Sorry Rudolf. The goal was to turn nature's bounty into Christmas crafts.

Wow, Sharon, those ARE beautiful! I hope you really did leave enough around for the deer and squirrels. :-)
That is really creative!
The caption is hilarious....
very clever!
What a super idea...and I LOVE the blue!
I love the precious Acorns. Do you know that I love them? My mommys horses name was Pine Cone , she said the next would be Acorn.
I am happy that you gathered a few, and left a few, and put a few on your tree

This is brilliant and beautiful!
What a very cute way to use nature's bounty. Love them and your tree.
Geez let's hope your neighbours aren't crafty and those deer get plenty of nuts along with their tree bark.
I guess it is a terrible way to take one more thing from the wildlife. But knowing how resourceful they can be, I suspect they will make ends meet.
Nice one, Sharon.
PS Mrs Deer says she is not impressed!
Great idea! Now if only we could go rustle up some of these acorns here in Thailand ;-)
Those aqua blue acorn ornaments are beautiful! I love them! And I imagine this year there are still plenty of acorns left for the deer! btw, I'm back! ♥
That blue is such a pretty shade, it looks great with the dark green of the tree. You are so creative Sharon, the tree looks wonderful.
Your natural ornament is so awesome I don't know where to begin! Did you use acrylic paint or something else?
