good bye yarn wreath.... hello acorns!

so after much hard work, frustration and sweat - my acorn wreath is done!!! i'm not quite certain i will ever make anything of acorns again.... especially not with a straw covered wreath and hot glue gun combo.  the adhesive just didn't seem strong enough.... i was constantly picking up fallen acorns and reglue-ing.... and reloading my little dollar store glue gun.  my hands were in so much pain from pressing the glue gun "trigger" for each.little.acorn.   i seriously wanted to do a cool diagonally glued acorn wreath like the one here.... but alas, my patience wore thin and i just placed acorns wherever there i could to get the job done!

well? what do you think? i like it! caleb gave it three or four coats of white spray paint and i bought a roll of brown wedding tulle at michael's for a few dollars.  i have a ton of that left so i need to find another project..... oh i have so many projects.

anyway, you can find the tutorial here, but i first saw this idea on see kate sew.... i'm addicted to her blog!  she is beyond adorable and still wears maternity shirts post-pregnancy, that's my kind of lady.  don't you wear you maternity shirts 10 months post partum??

a major major major thank you to my acorn supplier Mommy Does.... she sent me a medium size flat rate box of those little glories since i couldn't find an acorn to save my life here in Marine-ville, USA.  be sure to jump over to her blog and take a look around! she's so crafty :)

what's your latest project??
