Felted Acorn Ornaments for Fall

Design and handcrafted by Kim Buchheit; Photo by Mike Buchheit
At our house making felted balls is akin to baking pumpkin pies and decking the halls — it marks the beginning of the holiday season. Last week we dyed merino wool a lucsious orange with our favorite non-toxic dye: kool-aid :) And then we drilled large handsome acorn caps and made these charming ornaments for Wildly Woolly's Etsy shop.

Felted Acorn Ornaments in Etsy Treasury

Oh, yay! My felted acorn ornaments for Hanukkah made it into Lora Hart's beautiful Etsy Treasury (thank you, Lora!). Lora makes stunning jewelry which is available through her Etsy store — be sure to check out her selection.

UPDATE: My Hanukkah ornaments are SOLD OUT, but I may still be able to do a few custom orders if you contact me via my Etsy store before Sunday, Dec. 21.

These life-sized felted acorn ornaments were both wet felted and needlefelted using merino wool glued into Shumard Oak acorn caps. Each acorn cap was drilled and threaded with tan embroidery. Ideal for holiday tree ornaments, gift toppers, party favors, hostess gifts, or home decoration -- tie them anywhere for a beautiful accent. Color sets for Thanksgiving and for Hanukkah now available at Kim's Etsy store (more color sets coming!).
