Easy DIY Wine Cork Ornament
Wine bottles are recyclable; this is true. However, there is another way to recycle those corks besides tossing them in the recycle bin. We can save those corks and use them to make an easy DIY wine cork ornament for the holidays.
An easy DIY wine cork ornament can help us savor those memories with a wine glass in our hands every holiday season. Wine corks are simple things made from bark that is harvested from the cork oak tree.
That bark is condensed into proper form and then used to seal the wine bottle perfectly. Those corks are good for more than just sealing a bottle. We can use those corks to make some beautiful wine cork ornaments.
Those Christmas tree ornaments can be used in so many different ways. We can use them as decor on our own trees, give them out as gifts to wine lovers, or sprinkle some around the house in fun and unique ways.
The best part is that we don’t even have to use wine bottle corks alone; champagne corks work as well. Now is the perfect time to get started planning your wine cork ornament DIY project. We just need to pull together a few things to get started.
Easy DIY Wine Cork Ornament Supplies
There is no shortage of wine corks for a wine drinker, especially toward the end of the year. Those little guys can easily be saved throughout the year and turned into Christmas ornaments every year. The best time to start saving is January 1.
Then, we can store every wine cork we come across to make as many different ornaments as we’d like. That would make for some truly happy holidays. The rest of the things are easy to get.
Customizing DIY Wine Corks
This easy DIY wine cork ornament idea is very simple. The hardest part will be saving the wine corks, which is, of course, no problem for those of us who love wine. There is no shortage of corks for wine cork crafts in a wine lover’s home.
However, it is a fun idea to consider customizing your wine cork ornament. Many of the other supplies can be found at the dollar store. However, we can find ribbon, Mod Podge, and even paint at a craft store.
These things can be used to turn the ornaments into Santa cork ornaments or wine cork elf ornaments. Take your DIY Christmas ornament and turn it into whatever you’d like.
In fact, you can even use these ornaments for different holidays if you’d like. That’s the beauty of DIY projects: they are entirely customizable. Happy crafting!
How to Make Wine Cork Ornaments
Plugin your hot glue gun and prep your workspace for cutting the corks.
Slice wine corks into round discs about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Trace and cut out 1 star from one of the discs as well as a trunk for the bottom.
Layout your design to create a tree shape. 4 discs, then 3, 2, 1, and a star on top.
Now you can begin with the hot glue, start with small dabs on either side and connect your discs.
Attach your trunk and star with hot glue.
Punch a hole for the twine or hot glue it to the back if you prefer that look.
Add some paint, sparkles, or mini battery lights if you want to spruce up your design!
