1. Take all the "lids" off of your acorns.

2. Preheat your oven to 175 degrees and bake your acorns for 15-20 minutes. This helps make sure that any bugs inside won't come out later.

3. Seperate your acorns out into groups of which color you want them to be. (We had six groups for our six colors)

4. Paint the acorns, it will take 2-3 coats. 

5. After the paint has dried, apply a clear sealer coat. (Optional) 

6.Let acorns sit for awhile and dry completely. 

7.Once acorns are dry, hot glue their "lids" back on. 

8. That's it! You now have adorable little acorns to decorate your home.
