Step 3: Remove the Cap

Master the Art of Removing Acorn Caps

First step, carefully remove each acorn cap. When removing the cap from real acorns, it should come off easily. If caps aren’t coming off here’s an easy way to remove them, use the point of a pair of tweezers and place it under the cap and it should pop off.

Next using pliers remove the stem from each cap. Place the cap next to each acorn so that when you are ready to add the caps with your hot glue gun, you remember which cap attaches to the acorn.

Step 4: Drill Holes

Unleash Your Creative Side and Craft Perfect Napkin Rings

Next step, drill a hole in each acorn cap. Thread the ends of the wire through the hole on each cap. Plug in your hot glue gun to heat up so it’s ready to add to each acorn cap. If you don’t have easy access to acorns, this is an easy way to create these and add cozy vibes to your place settings.

Step 5: Glue

Secure and Set: Gluing the Ends of the Wire

First step, using my hot glue gun, I added a bit of hot glue to the ends of the wire and held it to set. Then, I found a great way to make this fun fall craft faster! Ready? After adding the ends of the wire, add a bit of hot glue inside the acorn cap! Place the acorn cap on and hold it to set. That’s it! The speed of this project is what makes it a fun fall craft perfect for this time of year. Especially, when we are looking to get items and crafts checked off our to-do list.

Napkin Rings Steps Caps Only

Preparing Caps Only for Napkin Rings

Last week, I made acorn napkin rings with acorn caps. I wanted to give you an alternative. As I mentioned not everyone has easy access to real acorns. I always think of you when I share my creative side and easy craft projects.

When using just caps using a pair of pliers remove the stem. Next, drill the holes add coated floral wire, and tie a knot on the outside of the cap. Tie a knot for the inside of each cap. If you are concerned, add a bit of hot glue. Let it set. (We tugged the wire a few times and the knot was fine.) Never leave a hot glue gun unattended. To avoid injuries, be sure children and animals can’t get tangled in the wire.

Cindy’s Acorn Napkin Ring Tip: I searched and acorn caps can’t be found at the craft store, however, I did find acorn caps on Amazon, Walmart, and Etsy. These are listed as Etsy best sellers:

• MosseerStudio
• MyFamilysNutz
• NewHampshireNature
• DennisonFlowers
• GSboutique has gold plated acorn caps

I suggest adding these caps to your shopping cart soon. Most Etsy sellers are selling acorn caps like crazy. I’m not the only person obsessed with acorns, whew!
