Holiday crafting with cork

Champagne cork "turkeys".















It may only be the beginning of November but now is the perfect time to begin crafting for the holiday season. Re-using wine corks is a great way to create holiday decorations and gifts and it also keeps the wine corks out of the landfills. 

Crafting with cork takes only your imagination and some cork. Add in some craft supplies such as glue, googly eyes, feathers and paint and the ideas are endless. Here are some examples of cork holiday crafts which have become gifts and holiday decorations.

Cork balls (painted) are threaded over thin wire to create these cork candy canes.

Wine corks make a great candle holder. What a beautiful, unique centerpiece.

Wine cork wreath. Add a bow and garlands for color.

Kids looking for gift ideas? Suggest they make these wine cork pencil holders.

These simple holders look nice and take only a few minutes to craft.

Wine cork Santa. Paint a cork, add some eyes, nose and a cotton ball. Cute!

For step-by-step instructions for creating some of these crafts, take a look at our YouTube channel.
