Today I want to share a cute and easy idea for making your own wine corks! These fun, decorative corks make sweet gifts. I love using them in my home because they add a little bit of personality!
Supplies needed: wood spools and corks (i got mine from hobby lobby), double sided tape, wood glue, embriodery thread, scissors.
1. Use double sided tape to begin adhering thread to your spoot. You can use a vintage spool with thread already on it if you like too. 2. Wrap thread around the entire spool. Be sure all the wood is covered. 3-4. Use a small dot of glue to secure the end of the thread. Rub it in so that it will dry clear.
Next, Adhere your corks to your spools using wood glue. Let them dry completely.
Aren't they cute!? This project is super quick and a fun gift idea for any wine lovers in your life!
I also wanted to share a few other D.I.Y. projects using corks. I love this coaster project from Apartment Therapy.
I think this how-to for turning corks into tiny stamps from Sweet Spot is so adorable!
And this cork bath mat from Crafty Nest is pretty amazing too! I think I might save up a stash for this project!
Hope your day is lovely. xo. elsie

I don't drink enough wine to do this, but it looks nice. I rather prefer the idea of the stamps :D

that cork mat is amazing! that would take us so long to save up corks to make that matt...especially since my husband and I drink wine about once a year! ha ha.
