hot glue gun
plastic easter eggs
brown spray paint - do several light coats and let dry before gluing the two halve back together.
pine cone bracts - glue, arrange in a couple-three rows
stick - glue to end of acorn
sisal twine - wind around acorn to cover the ends of the bracts and the stick and form cap.

Could see this done in gold, white or silver and powder the 'eggs' in clear glitter while still wet.

They need the smaller Easter eggs. These guys are giants.

Acron-ish, but a more realistic shape would be just to use the pointer half... or better yet those little containers that hold trinkets in gumball machines.

They need the whole plastic egg because they glue/wind the twine around the surface of the other blunter half of the egg to fashion the cap.
*grins* I like the larger version; they've got these really giant sized pine cones which I've forgotten what variety they are.
