Strawberry Acorn Magnets

Acorns gather in the yard every year. Have you ever thought to use them as a craft supply? We’ve made an acorn frame and a mosaic paper acorn for kids in the past, but today we’re going to try something different. Something that all ages can enjoy! So grab some acorns, paint, and round magnets to create these adorable strawberry acorn magnets to display on your fridge!

Strawberry Acorn Magnets

Kids and adults alike enjoy strawberry crafts. If you’re like me, you have some acorns laying around that you collected last fall. Strawberries are pretty and bursting with color, they make for a fun afternoon of crafting. 

You can use these strawberry acorn magnets on your fridge, or skip the magnet part and display them in a jar like we did with our painted acorns! What’s great about this acorn craft is that they’re not age inclusive. Adults can make them, kids can make them, and they’d even make a great camp craft or class project! 

What You’ll Need

• Acorns with tops
• Acrylic paint: black, green, red (and other shades that are similar, such as magenta or fuchsia)
• Toothpick
• Paintbrush
• Clear gloss sealer
• Hot glue gun
• E6000 glue
• Round magnets

How To Make Strawberry Acorn Magnets

1. Remove the acorn tops and paint them green.
2. Paint the acorns with red or other shades of red.
3. When dry, dip toothpick into black paint and dot onto red acorns.
4. Hot glue the tops on to the acorns.
5. Spray with gloss sealer and let dry.
6. Use E6000 glue to add a magnet to the back of each acorn.
