This is the easiest craft ever and so cute!!
Acorns painted with enamel acrylic paint…the paint is really easy to work with and it is very thick.
The lighter colors require several coats.
Don’t the blue and green acorns look so cute in my newest cloche?
I mixed several colors together to get shades of blues and greens, two shakes of purple and a darker orange.
Once the paint was dry, I glued them back into their little acorn caps.
Very easy and quite showy!
I am linking to these great parties!

Never thought of painting acorns...they are very cute!
I love these jewel tones that you used. This would be fun to do with my kids.
Oh.. they're so sweet. I usually see they're with needle wool felted. Painted are so lovely.
They look lovely painted in different colours. You could use them in allsorts of crafty ways.

Such a cute idea! Now I'm kicking myself for not collecting acorns from our old house. Time to go wild scouting, I think.
I love how easy these are and all the color they can add to a table decor. Thanks for sharing.

What a simple craft! I'm sure these would be a great vase filler too, with a candle maybe? Hmm, nice idea!
How pretty! I love the colors you chose.
These are darling. I think I'd like to paint a few dozen of these. Thanks for the idea. Best wishes, Linda
How charming! And, I'm motivated to take a nice long walk to collect acorns!
Blessings,

Hi Ellen,
I would have NEVER thought of painting acorns in a million years! They are adorable. I can hardly wait to go for a walk in the woods and gather acorns to paint. This is my first visit to your blog and I'm anxious to explore the rest of your posts!
Peace, Love & Joy,

Hi Ellen, I am so inspired by your beautiful acorns with their unconventional colors - that I chose you as one of my Fabulous Friday Favorites. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creativity with my readers!
Warmly, MIchelle
Completely Inspired! I tried spray painting some acorns a few weeks ago and the little buggers kept rolling around making a mess! What a GREAT idea to use acrylic and a brush. Yours are just amazing. LOVE!!!
Those are my colours! What a delicate hand you must have.
Cant wait to look around more, it is my first time visiting you.
Feel free to come say hello if you get the chance! :)
These are too cute!! I have been wanting to do a project like this. I'm so glad you linked this up at Artsy Corner! Hope to see you again this week.
