If you want to use acorns for crafts, it is best to make sure they are clean. After collecting acorns, remove the caps. If you let them sit to dry for a week, the nuts will shrink a bit and the caps will pop off very easily if not by themselves. Once the caps are removed, wash the nuts in tepid water with mild soap. Dry them with towels. After that, I recommend drying them further in a warm (250°F) oven both to kill anything living inside them and to ward off mold growth.
