Project: Christmas in a Nutshell
With just a few simple tools and a little creativity, walnuts shells can be turned into beautiful and unique ornaments that will add a touch of rustic charm to any holiday decor. Walnut shells, however, can also turn into practical household essentials. So let’s get started and see what we can create!
Walnut Candles
Walnut shells are perfect vessels for holding homemade candles. Melt down some yellow wax and carefully pour it into each of the walnut shells, leaving just enough space at the top to add a few small flowers around the candle wick. The flowers not only add a lovely touch of natural beauty to the candles but also help to hold the wick in place as the wax cools and solidifies.
Wheelbarrow and Earrings Box
Making a wheelbarrow and earrings box out of walnuts may sound like a daunting task, but with a little creativity and some basic crafting supplies, it’s actually quite simple.
There are no limits to the creative possibilities when it comes to crafting with walnuts.
Pretty Pin Cushion
Whether you’re a seasoned seamstress or just starting out, a walnut pin cushion with a leaf pattern is a fun and creative way to add a touch of personality to your sewing kit. With just a few basic supplies and a little bit of creativity, you can transform an ordinary walnut shell into a beautiful and functional work of art.
Fill the inside of the shell with some soft fabric or batting. Use a hot glue gun to attach a small piece of felt or fabric over the batting to the inside edges of the shell to form the cushion. If you want it to hang or be an ornament, make two small holes in one side and make a twine or string loop before adding the batting. Finally, add some decorative touches to give the pin cushion a pretty finishing touch. The result is a lovely, functional pin cushion that’s perfect for storing and organizing your sewing pins, needles, and other small notions.
