Cut a length of wire

Make a curl in the one end of the wire

Glue the curled end to an acorn

Glue a Kalanchoe flower to the acorn sealing the cut wound with the glue.

Start to add two more flowers...

And a few more flowers below those

Glue flowers to one half of the acorn before...

turning it over and adding flowers to the other half

Cover the rest of the acorn with flowers and hang it in the design from the wire tendril.
