Shape the Filters: Once dried, stack 2-3 filters for each acorn, pinching the center.
Create the Caps: Cut small circles from the brown construction paper for your acorn tops.
Assemble the Acorns: Use your hot glue gun to attach the brown paper cap to the top of the shaped filters.
String the Acorns: Cut a length of string or twine and thread the assembled acorns onto it.
Hang and Display: Your rainbow acorn garland is now ready to be hung! Consider displaying it across a mantel or along a stair railing.

To avoid messy hands while coloring, consider using gloves. Feel free to customize your garland with glitter for extra sparkle.
