How to Make DIY Wine Cork Ornaments
Making Christmas Trees out of wine corks is simple and fun. You don’t have to be a huge wine drinker either. Did you know you could buy wine corks in bulk for crafting? Save money by saving your wine cork after each bottle of wine.
This is a fun project that is meant to be shared with friends and maybe a glass of wine.
Like any other craft, working with wine corks can be a relaxing and therapeutic activity. It’s a great way to unwind and de-stress while creating something beautiful.
Craft Supplies
- Recycled wine corks or you can buy them in bulk from Amazon. (You will need 10.5 wine corks for each tree)
- Hot Glue Gun
- Twine or ribbon
- Knife
- Acrylic paint in various colors (red, green, gray)
Instructions to make DIY Wine Cork Ornaments
- Dip 10 corks into the paint like a stamp. Wait for the paint to dry. (Tip: You can blow dry them after you glue them together if you don’t want to wait for the paint to dry).
- Tie the twine or ribbon around one cork and make a bow at the top. Leave enough twine so you can use it to hang as an ornament if you choose that route. Some people like the wine cork Christmas tree ornaments to stand up on a shelf or mantle.
- Now starting with one cork start hot gluing them into a pyramid shape. Layer them 1, 2, 3, & 4 wine corks per layer.
- Next, cut one wine cork in half with a sharp knife or saw.
- Tip: Boil the wine corks to soften making it easier to cut through.
- Glue the wine cork stump to the bottom of the wine cork pyramid (that looks like a tree).
- Display your beautiful ornament on your Christmas tree!
