Wine Cork Pumpkins

Wine Cork Pumpkins

Are you ready for a super simple craft this year? You need to make these Wine Cork Pumpkins. So simple and easy that you will wonder why you never made them before. I love to put these on my mantel each season. Aren’t they just perfect? I LOVE that they can go out in October and stay out until Thanksgiving meaning I only have to decorate once so it is a win, win! Check out this adorable craft and make some pumpkins with the kids.

In order to make your own Wine Cork Pumpkin gather the following supplies:
Wine corks
Serrated knife
Hot glue, glue gun
Orange craft paint
paint brush
Green pipe cleaner
Scissors

Directions:
1. Begin by using a serrated knife to carefully cut the wine corks into discs. You will need 7 discs for each pumpkin you wish to make.

2. Apply two coats of orange paint to the flat side of the corks. You only need to paint one side. Allow the paint to dry well.
3. Once the paint is dry, assemble the wine corks as shown into the circle shape.

4. Take the hot glue and glue gun to glue the pieces together. Just glue, press, and hold until dry.

5. Finish by taking the green pipe cleaner and spiraling it around a pencil. Add some glue to the ends and press it to the top of the pumpkin for the final touch.
