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.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 2 Earring Hooks
  • Needle Nose Pliars
  • 2 Eyepins
  • 2 Acorns
  • 1 Needle Or Safety Pin

Steps (5 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Bend your eyepin/wire and insert through the hole in the acorn, like so.

  4. 4

    Bend the eyepin up around the other side of the acorn and twist excess around the straight part of the eyepin.

  5. 5

    Put earring hooks through the loops and close the loops up. Tada~!
