Instead we grabbed a big bag of them to makewine cork craftswith fromFreecycle.
We briefly wrote about this on our earlier post6 Creative Ways to Sustain your Craft Habit.
We jumped on this as soon as we saw it and voila, the corks were ours.
The intention was for Christmas decor but it turns out, that the star looks great year round!
This was a bit of a puzzle to figure out but I love a good challenge!
This will be the side to paint.
Using a small paint brush, begin painting the base of each cork with white acrylic.
Finally, once dry, add the glitter.
Ensure your work space is covered to save yourself some clean up time afterwards.
Work in small sections when applying the glitter and allow time to dry completely at the end.
And there it is!
Budget friendly wine cork Christmas decorations using materials you likely already have at home!
The photos really dont do it justice to show the lovely sparkle of the glitter.
Another wine cork crafts idea?
We just love the natural variations in the colours of the corks.
I think well give a shot to do mini versions as wine cork ornaments soon as well.
