As you will remember, a while back a hefty amount of wine corks was bestowed upon me. For sometime now I have been struggling to come up with a crafty enough gift to make with them. Well look no further than Pinterest to find your next treasure( honestly what would I do without Pinterest?)...
Wine Cork Christmas Trees!
Utterly simplistic, but amazingly cute! This craft only needs a collection of wine corks(depending on how much you drink it may only take you a few nights to create one of these special treats!), a hot glue gun with a generous supply of glue sticks, some sassy Christmas ribbon (I used colored raffia, clearance at JoAnn's Fabrics!), a simple rustic tree topper, and green paint (which is completely optional if you would rather an au natural look of the 'purpled' ends of red wine!). Now stack up your corks with gobs of ooey gooey gluey, tie them together with your choosen ribbon, and add your so called rustic decoration( I used rust colored sleigh bells to top my tiny wine-o trees). Hmmm now we must create a stump, but the tree is so top heavy? What could possibly hold it up right?
First pour your self a delicious helping of the bubbly! Then take that over sized chunk of cork and put it to use! Your stump has been found! Glue that baby on and you have just created the perfect gift for that wine-o in the family!(Or you have the cutest cost effect gift for a yankee swap! Shhhh it only cost a few dollars to make, minus the cost of the wine of course!) Nobody can turn down a homemade gift, NOBODY! So get drinking and get crafting this festive one of a kind decoration! You're welcome.
