Squirrel & Acorn – Woodland Tealight Holder

A little woodland friend bringing warmth and autumn charm into your home!

Inspired by the beauty of autumn forests, this charming squirrel sits beside a large acorn, gently resting its paws on the rim as if protecting its little woodland treasure.

With its magnificent bushy tail, detailed fur texture, and beautifully sculpted acorn, this design captures the cozy feeling of autumn and brings a touch of nature indoors.

A Little Acorn with a Warm Glow ✨

The hollow acorn is perfect for holding a small battery-operated LED tealight, turning this woodland sculpture into a cozy decorative light.

Place it on a windowsill, bookshelf, bedside table, or desk to add a warm autumn atmosphere to your home.

And when the light is switched off, the acorn can also serve as a little bowl for rings, earrings, or other small treasures.

A decorative woodland companion with a practical purpose!

Printing & Finishing

The squirrel and acorn are printed as a single piece, with no complicated assembly required.

For the photos, I printed the model in black PLA and created two different looks:

• Original finish: Straight from the printer, showing the natural details of the model.

• Antique gold finish: I applied Inca Gold metallic wax to the raised surfaces, highlighting the fur and acorn textures while leaving the deeper grooves dark.

The gold finish is completely optional. The model also looks beautiful without any post-processing, and wood-colored filaments would be a lovely choice for a natural woodland appearance.

Lighting

Simply place a small battery-operated LED tealight inside the acorn. No wiring, soldering, or electronics are needed.

Important: Use LED tealights only. Never use a real candle or open flame in a 3D-printed model.
