Directions
Start by thoroughly cleaning the glass vases to ensure they are free of dust and smudges.
Fill the base of each vase with a layer of acorns, about 2-3 inches high.
Arrange the artificial or real leaves inside the vase. You can have them stand vertically or spread them out for a fuller look.
Add another layer of acorns on top of the leaves to secure them in place.
Optional: Wrap a piece of twine or ribbon around the neck of each vase for an added rustic touch. Secure with a bow.
Optional: If using fairy lights, carefully insert them into the vase, intertwining them with the leaves and acorns.
Arrange the completed vases together on your chosen surface, varying the heights and styles for a balanced display.

Variations & Tips
To personalize this DIY centerpiece, consider using pinecones, small pumpkins, or gourds along with the acorns for added variety. You could also use colored sand or small pebbles as a base layer instead of acorns. For a more festive touch, add mini ornaments or sprigs of berries. If you prefer a more minimalistic look, use fewer leaves and keep the arrangement sparse and simple. Remember to choose elements that reflect your personal style and the overall decor of your home.
