* Paper Acorn * Spotlight & Giveaway!


When I enter this shop I am thrilled to see all the innovative items that paper acorn has available. If you are an Etsy shop owner, a mom or even just a little like me then to see all the fabulous items that make decorating or packaging so gorgeous and appealing your heart skips a beat. There are some of the cutest boxes, impressive place cards and ingenious paper notions.


Halloween is fast approaching! A little pre Halloween decorating is always a great way to have fun with your kids. Next to Christmas Halloween is my kids favorite holiday. I love to get those "Oh my goodness look at those!" responses from my kids with the things I make for them and when I saw these great boxes I knew they would be a big hit for all those cute little trick or treaters at the door.



So this is where the shop's name is derived and I have to say to you couldn't have a cuter item to be your mascot. Not only can I think of a million things I could use this at home for but also packaging for my Etsy shop is important to me and these would so be appreciated by all my customers. The details that go into these acorns actually make me forget that it's paper and they come in different patterns and colors making them custom for anything special.




Paper Acorn is owned by Jessica Wolf in Cincinnati, USA. Jessica loves what she makes and thinks it's important to be using a material that has a natural and earthy element as well as being sustainable. Well I know by visiting this shop that it is special. Everything that I can see has attention to detail and is quality made. She has left 6 years of experience in the package design industry to follow her Etsy future and I think she has come out on top!












Paper Acorn is giving away this lovely Maple Leaf Garland to a lucky follower! the garland runs about 8 feet long and features four different fall colors. Perfect for the thanksgiving fall ambiance in your home!

  1. What a lovely shop! I had such a hard time picking one favorite. First I thought it was the maple leaf garland--such great colors and an affordable way to decorate for the season. Then I saw the paper hearts garland--too sweet! THEN I saw the luminaries--oh my goodness, so gorgeous. Love this shop!

  4. Hi - I love paper crafts in general, and I just don't have the skill to make anything nearly as good as these! They are so wonderful!

    I think the Skulls Paper Garland might be my fave, they would stay up year 'round at my house!

  14. WOw! Where to start?! I love so many of the things I saw in this great shop!! I think if I had to choose a favorite it would be the custom name bannar (I will definitely be keeping that one in mind for my next b-day party!!!). A close runner up for my favs though is the custom cut business card she has listed in the shape of a blow dryer!! SO CUTE!! My sister is a hair dresser and she would LOVE those!

    Thank you for introducing us to this awesome shop!!! Love the blog!
