Find caps that fit nicely on some round beads...this may be the trickiest part...although kids seem to love this step.
Cut a short piece of beading wire - about 6" - and lightly fold it in half. Then twist and twist until you get a nice loop.
Find the smallest drill bit you can, and drill two holes through the acorn cap.
Insert your wire loop through the holes.
I twisted it once with my fingers and then held on to the top loop while twisting with little pliers.
Hot glue in your bead. You're done...easy peasy.
If I had thought about it before I had wrapped up the package to send in the mail, I would have put them into magic walnuts too, but I only thought of it this morning.

Those are too cute and I will be collecting acorn tops this afternoon. Thanks for sharing such a sweet idea.
