What You'll Need

Materials

  • Twine
  • Walnuts and almonds (in shells)
  • Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
  • Acorns and caps

Instructions

  1. Tie a bow in twine. Attach a nut to bow with hot glue. Move 4 to 7 inches down twine and add another bow and nut. Repeat for length of twine, alternating walnuts, almonds, and acorns. (To secure acorns, hot-glue cap onto acorn, then add a dot of hot glue to stem and tie twine around it.)
