We have given this idea a face-lift and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Paper Plate Acorn Friend {Kid Craft}

Acorn Friends – A Very Simple Craft Idea For Your Fall Plans

Today’s kid friendly craft is titled Paper Plate Acorn Friend.

It has a fall theme to it and it can also be easily in-cooperated in to your Thanksgiving craft plans, to keep the kids busy while you get the big meal ready.

With just some a little craft paint, a paper plate, brown cardstock and smiling embellishments – we will be able to pull this kid friendly craft together in no time. Heck – you could even join in on the fun and make one yourself!

My favorite part of this paper acorn craft idea, is that adorable smiling face. Isn’t it amazing how when you add some wiggle eyes and a painted on smile, that it gets that personal touch. It just makes my crafty heart melt. Overall, this acorn themed idea is super simple, extra lovable and really inexpensive too. Just the way we like it around here!

Now are you ready to tackle this craft idea? You can find ALL the directions and supply list below. Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper plate and paint acorn friends with us on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
