I created this charming fall acorn garland for Autumn with my son. We had it up well past Thanksgiving! I like the according style top, if you know me- I am all about textures. Follow my instructions below and grab my acorn template so you too can create this easy acorn garland craft!
I choose to fold the top of the acorn accordion style to create texture and visual interest. My son liked this step the most! I braided hemp string for a rustic look and spaced the acorns evenly apart. I also alternated between three fall colors, green, yellow, and orange.
