How adorable! I love when you can use natural materials to craft with. Now I have something to do with all the acorns I collected last fall!

These are so cute and creative! I love summer crafts that incorporate watermelons themes into them. Will try making some.

I really like them. They have the same shape. Just be sure to pick acorns carefully without any holes in the shell. They might have a bug in them. Will try making a few.
