Oh, To Be a Squirrel

One of the many things that my dear fiance and I have in common is our love of squirrels.  Come on, you've heard stranger!  People try to turn these cute puffy-tailed critters into villans for "stealing" seed from those "poor" little birds.  Do you really think those birds are only stopping at your house?  I think not.  I do love bird watching, I really do, but I can't stand to see when home owners try to "squirrel proof" their feeders.  Didn't your mother every tell you to share with everyone!

Anyhoodle, in honor of my little friends, DF and I had ourselves a crafting day!  I'm not going to lie, I stole *ahem* borrowed this idea from someone else.  But I will only use them as gifts and have no intentions at all to sell them. 

I now present:  FELTED ACORNS!

DF's job was to drill holes in the acorn caps and thread them with ribbons.  (I had to tie the knots because my honey has Vienna Sauage fingers, hehe)

All the balls were matched up with a "hat"

I glued the hats on then added some snowy glitter and viola!

How cute are these?!  The next time you're enjoying a handful of peanuts, toss some in the direction of a squirrel, I'm sure they will appreciate it!
