A little treasure picked up under the oak trees, now in fuse bead form! The cap is beaded in a two-tone brown checker pattern to mimic its scaly texture, and the body tapers gently down to a neat little point.
My tip: place the center line first, it keeps both sides nicely symmetrical as you go. On a small square pegboard, this design slots easily into an autumn display, right next to a leaf or a chestnut.
Iron in small sections, pressing evenly, since the checkered cap needs a bit more care than a flat block of color. Strung into a garland or set on a shelf, this cozy little acorn smells like autumn walks and crunching leaves underfoot.
