How To Create Your ACORN
1 2
Gather your materials. You will need a 2.5” piece of ribbon,
two thread options, and the fabric for your acorn.
NOTE: For the acorn’s top fabric, you need two 3” x 4.5”
pieces of fabric. For the acorn’s bottom fabric, you will
need two 6” x 4.5” pieces of fabric.
Hoop a piece of No Show mesh stabilizer. Complete the
standard appliqué steps to place the top and bottom fabrics.
NOTE: This design was specially digitized as a bonus
design for this project. The steps are not the same as the
acorns in the Stuffed Acorns collection.

There will be a placement and tacking stitch for the ribbon to
be attached to the top of the acorn. Run the placement stitch
in a contrasting thread to see where to place the ribbon.
Place the ribbon as shown, then run tacking stitch to secure.
For the remainder of the decorative embroidery, pull the ribbon
up and away from the inner design area and tape in place.
