Looky what we have here! I actually found a purpose for all of my saved wine corks!
Every time I open a new bottle I save the cork and what better than to fancy them up into a DIY Christmas decoration 😉
What you’ll need:
Corks (new or old)
Hot glue gun
Scrapbook Paper
Scissors
Sooo , yeah whatever.. I drink a lot of wine! I’ll admit it! 🙂 🙂 It’s coming in handy though.
The scrapbook paper was found at Micheal’s for $6 and there are sooo many options in there. Each page has a design on front and back.
I arranged and rearranged each cork until I found the person positioning. Once I found the perfect positions, I took each cork and traced out little circles on the scrap book paper so when I cut them out they fit perfectly
I used my hot glue gun to adhere the paper to the corks.
I left a few of them without and paper on them because I like the bare look of them. That red stained one might be my favorite 🙂 That would be the remnants of a little Pinot Noir 😉
Once I got the paper on each cork I just hot glued each cork together. It is now ready for my Holiday decorating!

Hmm, I’ve been looking for a project to make with all of my wine corks. Also for a reason to drink more wine just in case I run out of my saved wine corks 😉 Great idea!

Great idea adding the decorative paper cut outs to the cork ends and mixing up the patterns. I really need to get myself some plaid printed paper! Love it.

very cute idea. I remember years ago a coworker saving wine corks for another coworkers son who was using them to build a castle.
