Making wine cork Christmas tree ornaments is so much fun and super easy! Did you see my other adorable DIY wine cork ornaments I made last year? Before you call Alcoholics Anonymous on me, know that I have been collecting wine corks for several years to put them to good use for crafting.
I am in love with the way they look on a Christmas Tree! Don’t fret if you don’t have wine corks lying around. Did you know that companies sell wine corks in bulk for craft projects?
How to Make Wine Cork Christmas Tree Ornaments
Wine Cork Christmas Tree Ornament supplies
- Recycled wine corks or you can buy them in bulk from Amazon. (You will need 10.5 wine corks for each tree)
- Glue Gun with glue
- Twine or ribbon
- Knife
- Acrylic paint in various colors (red, green, gray)
Instructions to make wine cork ornament
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. Some choose to boil the wine corks to soften them making it easier to cut through, but I did not have time to do that so I enlisted my strong husband to do this part.
Glue the wine work stump to the bottom of the wine cork pyramid.
Feel free to make different types of wine cork Christmas trees. I made a multicolored tree that I really loved!
I hope you enjoy making these adorable wine cork Christmas trees. May I recommend drinking a glass of wine while making them? (If you are of drinking age of course!) This project would be great for a Christmas girls craft night.
