Acorns

While blog surfing the other day I found this image.......

Aren't they the most FAB things you have ever seen? Rustic and flashy all in one! L O V E!! Ironically enough I happened to have the supplies on hand......
Well kind of....I thin she used a string of sequins.....I went the old fashioned way (remember those ornaments from the 70's? My mom had a ton!) and pinned each sequin in....

Just in cases you didn't believe I actually did it.....nah, that's not why I took the pic! This lil project prompted a family craft night.....everyone wanted to join in! Which was perfect because I had spent the day LOOKING for a project for all of us and came up with nothing....then BAM! While blog surfing, I hit the jackpot!!
TA-DA!! Here are mine on display.......

Aren't they great?!?!? Fall-y and FAB!! Perfect rustic elegance and they look so good with this display!
Here is my version of the original one I saw.....silver sequins and jute twine top.....
....and OF COURSE I had to add my pearls!! This was a strand of small seed pearls (that I got over the summer at an estate sale knowing I'd always find a use later)...I simply glued the pre-strung (thank you previous owner) stand all around the styro egg and topped with jute twine!

The original base of silver sequins with a mustard yellow yarn top......
