Acorns :D

So happy it's Fall!! And in celebration I made Fall inspired Steampunk jewelry today. Check back tomorrow to see how the rest of this necklace turned out :)

I got an idea to make acorns out of wooden beads and bead caps. Really cute and easy to do.
Take a nail head pin and thread a bead cap, wooden bead, another bead cap, and a seed bead if you want onto the pin. After you have everything you want on it, take your pliers and wrap the wire into a loop and keep wrapping until you get the look you want. I chose to wrap it under the seed bead because it made it look pretty nifty. It also looks better if the top bead cap is rounded. For the bottom bead cap I used one that looked like leaves.

Anyone else been getting ready for Fall with cute crafts?
