Make these place card ornaments with Americana® Acrylics and let guests take them home.

SUPPLIES

• sandpaper
• liner brush
• medium flat brush
• drill and drill bits
• wood slices
• thin ribbon or string
• hot glue gun and glue sticks
• white color pencil
• medium acorns

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Gather medium-sized acorns with loops for hanging. (I used two per place card plus made extra for a centerpiece.) (TIP: if you can't find any medium sized acorns with a loop, use real ones and hot glue them on.)

2. Gather 4" wood slices. (As many as needed for your guests.)

3. Using a medium flat brush, paint the wood slices with Neutral Grey, leaving the raw edges unpainted. Allow to dry. Lightly sand, if needed. Apply a second coat for even coverage. Allow to dry.

4. Using the provided pattern for font and shapes, draw on the name of each guest and some image decoration along the bottom half of the round with a white colored pencil. Paint the lines with Cool White, using a liner brush. Allow to dry.

5. Optional: If the wood round do not have a hole for hanging, drill a small hole at the top.

6. Coat the wood slices with Soft-Touch Varnish. Allow to dry. Gather ribbon/string for each. (Approximately 12" for each.)

7. Paint half of the acorns with Avocado and the other half with Celery Green Allow to dry and apply a second coat for even coverage. Allow to dry.

8. Using a liner brush, paint decorative elements onto each acorn with Cool White.

9. Using a flat brush, dry-brush Champagne onto the tops of the acorns and their loops or stems. Let dry completely.

10. Assemble the ornaments with the wood round, acorn, and ribbon hanger. Add them to the Woodland-Themed Fall Charger Plate and Woodland -hemed Place Mat and Napkin Set to make a complete fall table setting.

11. Add the Woodland-Themed Table Décor to create an entire woodland-themed tablescape.
