You’ll love these super easy mini acorn wreath ornaments! They come together so fast and look perfect with your rustic Christmas decor. If you are looking for a simple holiday craft idea to make with your kids this one is perfect.

We are having so much fun making lots of rustic Christmas ornaments this year.

While I do love the classic sparkly holiday ornaments I always find myself going back to the more rustic ones.

They fit with all types of decor styles from modern to farmhouse and are inexpensive to make.

These little acorn wreaths fit into that category perfectly.

They are so easy to make with kids but grownup enough to look great on anyone’s Christmas tree. A perfect craft to make if you are looking for acorn decoration ideas to use up lots of acorns.

How To Make Mini Acorn Wreath Ornaments

Supplies

• Acorns (6 plastic or foam per wreath)
• Twine
• Hot glue
• Glue gun

Step 1.

Start by gathering your acorns, you can use real ones if you are lucky enough to have an oak tree nearby. We don’t so I picked up a bag of these cut plastic acorns.

You’ll need 6 acorns for each mini wreath you are going to make but you can easily change that number if you are working with acorns that are smaller or larger then the ones I have.

Step 2.

Take 2 acorns and place them at 90-degree angles so the caps are just touching.

When you have the placement right separate them and place a small dot of hot glue there and then hold them together for a few seconds until the glue has set.

Continue adding the remaining acorns in the same way until you have formed a circle.

Step 3.

If the wreath doesn’t feel quite strong enough turn it over and places a little extra hot glue in between the acorns. Try to make sure that it can’t be seen from the front.

Step 4.

Cut a length of twine or ribbon, loop it through the center and tie it off to make a hanger.

And you’re done! See that was a really quick and easy Christmas ornament right? They look so cute hanging from your Christmas tree too.
