Step 2 of FleeceFun acorn template tutorial - painting and detailing

I like the color of the chipboard for the Acorns – so I’m going to leave the base as it is. But for a fun pop I’m paining the Acorn Tops gold. Paint the Acorns as desired and allow time for them to dry completely.

This is what makes a complete acorn.

Painting and adding details to the acorn template from FleeceFun

Glue the tops to the base. Simply line up the stems.

Once the top is glued and the glue has cooled add the vinyl details via the transfer tape.
