DIY Fall Acorn Decor from the Dollar Spot

Can you believe I made these DIY Fall Acorn Decor items from wooden ornmaments that cost $1 each? One dollar! I’m always on the lookout for fun fall craft supplies when I head into Target. The Dollar Spot usually does not disappoint. The day I spotted these I thought, “self, you only need a couple of these wooden ornaments. There’s no need to buy them all.”

What was I thinking? I promptly called my friend Jeanetta and asked her to swing by and buy all the wooden ornaments that were left so they wouldn’t be gone by the time I got back to town. HA! They really should call it the $100 Dollar Spot.

All the supplies were things I had on hand, as any self-respecting crafter would: glitter, twine, and buttons. No worries if YOU don’t have them. You can pick up a lot of these at the Dollar Spot, too. Lets get to making!

Patriotic Paper Straw Necklace

This DIY Patriotic Paper Straw Necklace is so much fun to make.  AND it’s made with leftover supplies from previous projects, like my patriotic flameless torches (which are also SUPER fun to make). I even dug out some red jingle bells and plastic star doodads from my Christmas craft supplies to use with this necklace. I love when supplies can be used for multiple occasions!

Another thing I love about this necklace is that it’s so easy for little kids to do. Other than threading the needle, they can probably do this whole project in no time. Let’s get started!
