Dollar Tree Burlap Acorns

STEP ONE

To begin, gather all supplies. Paint the outside of the three plastic Easter eggs roughly with Light Cinnamon craft paint and a dry paintbrush. Set aside to dry. These are solid plastic Easter eggs, if using the split eggs, glue them closed before painting. I love Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have one-coat coverage on most surfaces.

STEP TWO

Cut a piece of burlap ribbon and secure the painted egg in the center with a glue gun and glue sticks. Liquid craft glue can be used for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.

Fold up the short sides of the burlap ribbon and attach it with a glue gun and glue sticks. Repeat with the long sides of the burlap ribbon and additional glue.

Continue to pleat and fold the burlap around the entire circumference of the egg, securing each section of ribbon using a glue gun and glue sticks.

Work around the egg, until the entire surface is covered with the burlap ribbon. After gluing, hold each section in place with the metal blades of the scissors until the hot glue is set. This will prevent your fingertips from getting burned.

Trim any excess burlap ribbon from the top of the Easter eggs using scissors. Having less burlap at the top of the acorn will make the application of the twine easier. Dollar Tree has such a HUGE selection of materials that can be upcycled and good quality craft supplies that won’t blow your budget!

STEP THREE

Insert a 6” long twig into the holes at the top of each Easter egg and secure it with a glue gun and glue sticks. This will create a handle and make applying the twine easier.

STEP FOUR

Tie the natural jute twine in a double knot around the twig. This will make a good base to start adhering the twine around the top of the egg. Trim the long end of the twine with scissors.

Create the cap of the acorn by coiling the natural jute twine around the top of the egg using a glue gun and glue sticks to secure it along the way.

Continue coiling the twine around the top one-third of the plastic egg. Wrap the twine around multiple times to build up some depth, which enhances the acorn cap.

STEP FIVE

To finish the burlap-covered Easter egg acorns, trim the twig stem to ½” long with a pair of wire cutters.
