Glam with Glitter

For the past couple of years I've wanted to make my own glittered acorns mostly, because I've never been able to find them in a store.  Well, I finally did it!  They turned out great!!  It was a messy process...imagine glitter all over my house and my little man, but so worth it. 

I've been collecting acorns while on walks with Hudson, but I ended up only making 15.  I'm not completely sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but I'm sure I can come up with something fun.

Supplies:
Acorns-I used real, but you could use fake too. (free if you use real like me)
Martha Stewart woodland glitter from Hobby Lobby ($3.99 for 3 colors and I have a ton left)
Any type of craft glue-I used the glue that came with the glitter
Hot glue or super glue to attach the tops back on the acorns (free, I already had some on hand)
Paint brush-to apply the glue

In the process.

Here they are all glittered.

This is the best close-up I could get with my stinkin' camera.

For right now they're on display in a fancy little bowl.

I didn't cover the entire top...mostly because I had a little boy standing next to me crying the entire time, and it got a little hairy with all the glue and glitter everywhere!  You can't really tell as much in person as you can in the picture.

Total cost for this project:  $3.99

Not too shabby!
