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.

Description

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.

Instructions

  1. Small dsc 0804 1280866748

    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. Small dsc 0807 1280866857

    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. Small dsc 0815 1280866967

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

  4. Small dsc 0817 1280867033

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

  5. Small dsc 0820 1280869311

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