Squirrels aren't the only ones who can tap an oak tree's potential. For pretty napkin ties that evoke the harvest season, attach store-bought acorns to satin ribbon.
Napkin Ties How-To
1. If the acorns aren't precut, separate the cap from the body of each acorn with a craft knife.
2. Make a small hole in cap with an awl. Knot one end of a 9-by-1/4-inch brown satin ribbon. Thread other end through a cap; knot at top.
3. Thread through another cap; knot on both sides. Reattach bodies.
