Paper,Magnets, Frames and Acorns....

My hubby was gone last weekend. So once the kids went to bed, I wanted some mindless crafts to occupy my time.

I decided to increase my fall decor with a few new easy to make items.

First magnets.  Can you say SUPER EASY?
All you need is some cute paper
Some glass circles

Mod podge

Magnets

Glue (I used Gorilla Glue)

All you need to do is:
1. Cut out your paper to fit on the underside of the glass. 

2. Put some Mod Podge on the glass, place the paper (decorated side down, so you can see it through the  

    glass, then a little more Mod Podge over the paper.

3. Once it is completely dry, glue on your magnet.

Craft #2 ~ an acorn embelished frame.   I saw this in my Better Homes and Gardens (click the link to see the actual frame that was in the magazine) mag. 

You will need:

 Acorns ~ I purchased fake ones at a local craft store for super cheap.

A Frame ~ once again, I bought an inexpensive set of 3 at Ikea one time when I was there.

Glue ~ out came the handy dandy glue gun.

Time

Here's what you do....

1. Spray paint your frame if need be.  I painted mine a dark brown.

2.  Ready your acorns.  I tore apart my acorns and just used the caps.

3.  Glue your acorns to your frame. 

4.  Breathe a sigh of relief when you finally get them all glued on.  ☺

I actually kind of like it with out a picture in it:

But, it does look pretty good WITH a picture too!

I'm linking up here, so check them out!
