Want to add some glamor and glitz to your fall decor this year, but you're on a budget? Why not use liquid gilding to shine up some found objects like acorns? It's super easy, and although you do need to set aside some time to do it right, not much of that time is hands on.
Even better, you can recruit your kids to collect the acorns. My girls are pretty proud of their collection. Although be forewarned, your decor may become toys!
First, you need to prep your acorns. Do not skip this step!
If you do, you run the risk of mold and worms invading your autumnal display. Trends may come and go, but I doubt that stuff will ever be in style!

Native North American Indians knew how to eat them, or maybe they collected them to attract deer and that's how they got so many deer hides!
