| ...can I talk to the most people with the most acorns...? I would like to use hot glue to glue acorns to a piece of wood in the shape of an acorn, an acorn made of acorns. Turning them different ways, maybe using 2 different types, should produce the difference in color between the top and the bottom. What ideas have you for the piece of wood? Plain? Stained? Painted? How could I make it look like leaves? What about gluing oak leaves that will lay flat to it? Has anyone tried stringing them like a garland? Sounds time-consuming but it would be cute. What else can we do with all of these acorns? Oblong ones, round ones, oh my, the squirrels don't even come close to eating all of them... |

| Wish I could find a use for the zillions of water oak acorns I have. They're so bitter the squirrels don't even want them. |

| Love the idea of making stuff with them, yesterday hub paid a lawncare guy his regular rate not to mow or edge but to de-acorn the lawns, there's one live oak in our back yard and two in the neighbor's back yard right next to the fence, we are just inundated with acorns (and they haven't finished falling yet). |
