\"acorns<\/a><\/p>\n

Have I mentioned that I LOVE FALL? Well I do – I just loved walking around, still in August, and already finding numerous fresh acorn caps on the ground, which were needed for my daughter’s birthday party.<\/p>\n

I’m a pretty creative person, and sometimes cannot stop thinking of ideas. I know this can be tiring for less creative people. My daughter, who is turning seven, has been getting increasingly creative herself, and I have been surprised a few times how many ideas she generates. For example, she wanted a gumball machine she saw at the dollar store. I said no, because it looked like it would break in two seconds. At home, she made her own out of paper and tape!<\/p>\n

So planning her seventh birthday party has been full of ideas. We took one look at pinterest and I already had to point out, Hey, this is not your wedding….we’re not creating an archway covered in tulle!<\/p>\n

I am not exactly bursting with energy, being pregnant and working full time, but we did finally gather all the supplies needed to make these fairy necklace party favours on the weekend.<\/p>\n

\"fairy<\/a>Steps:<\/p>\n

1. Drill holes in acorn caps big enough to get your ribbon or string through.<\/p>\n

2. Glue glitter on the acorn caps (we used white glue).<\/p>\n

3. Cut ribbon long enough to go over kids’ heads (estimate big…some of ours ended up still too small).<\/p>\n

4. String ribbon through jingle bells and through the acorn cap.<\/p>\n

5. Hot glue bell into place in acorn cap.<\/p>\n

6. Tie knot in ribbon.<\/p>\n
