Creative Cork Wreaths

A few friends and I got together yesterday to make wreaths out of used corks from the many bottles of wine we've drank (over the years)... And, O what fun it was (the drinking and the making)!

{The Result}

Scotty and I created a smaller (8" round) cork wreath, 

but you can make any size you'd like... keeping on reading to look at more versions.

{The Process}

Supplies:

8" round styrofoam wreath

70 +/- corks

Hot glue gun

Glue sticks

 (a 12"-14" round styrofoam wreath would take about 150 +/- corks)

Start building your wreath one cork at a time...  

One mini hot glue gun for 3 ladies = a FUN morning!

 With coffee in hand and kids at our feet, we were off making our wreaths!

Ela was making a different style wreath (which was a bit difficult), 

using wood cranberries, between each cork.

I attempted the same version, and had to tweak it a bit.  

Instead of a cranberry between each cork, I attached the corks and 

then added a cranberry on top ~ See below

Once the wreath was glued together, it still seemed a bit unstable, so I bent a wire coat hanger into a round shape and hot glued it on the back.  

Sorry to say, I haven't finished it yet....but hope to post it later today! :)

Love the idea and want to create your own? 

Here are some other versions...
