I have a small obsession with corks. I collect tons and tons of wine corks. I have multiple vases around my place just full of them. So instead of letting them slowly fill my entire apartment, I've started to put them to good use.
WINE CHARMS
- cork
- knife
- paint (I used red, yellow, black & blue)
- stamps (I used cheese, glass, grape & wine bottle stamps)
- ink pad (I used an ink wheel that offered yellow, purple, red, black, blue & red)
- Screw Eyes Pins
- Hoops charms
Instructions:
Cut your corks like you'd be slicing a hot dog.
Also slice a few in half.
Paint your corks and let them dry.
Press really hard when you stamp your cork! Try not to get too much excess ink on your stamp otherwise it will get on the cork (as seen on a few of mine below)
Once your stamp is completely dry, tightly hold your cork and screw your screw eye into the top of your cork. The reason I wait until after I stamp is because you can always make your stamp look right if you accidentally stamp it the wrong way.
Hook in your hoop and you're good to go!
I also made these holiday charms:
You can also make cork coasters:
You just need the same corks and cork roll (you can buy at any hardware store).
