Have you ever looked at an acorn and wondered what you could make out of it? I think this very thought a lot. It’s probably a very strange thing to think so often, but I wouldn’t know how strange since I’m so used to me. Let’s get busy and make an acorn tea set. While we’re at it, let’s make some miniature chocolate cookies and set them on little leaf plates. Get out your acorns and your polymer clay.
