One of the American ideas for the little felt balls is to attach them to Acorns but I don't have acorns here but of course being in Australia we have lots of gumnuts so I made these
I just used a
multimix packet of the 1cm balls. If I had larger gumnuts (which I will in a few months) I would use a larger size ball
I cut them in half with a pair of scissors or you could use a craft knife
Added a drop of white pva glue - any glue that dries clear would be fine
and stuck the half ball on top and waited for them to dry
Here they are all ready in a little container for a table centrepiece or decoration. You could add a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil to make it even nicer

That looks like a good table center for Christmas Lisa!
Hi! Lisa,
Delightful and colourful little gumnuts, lovely to decorate a Christmas table or for any celebration table.
How cheerful! I think I like the look of your Australian gum nuts better than acorns. They have that long skinny tail that's perfectly for holding while gluing and photographing. Thanks for providing my super cute fix for the day!
