Wine Cork Pumpkin Decor

Well it’s no secret that I love me some wine! And of course, as any crafter does, I save all my corks because there is always something to do with them, right? Today I am sharing this really easy and fun wine cork pumpkin project! Great use of those wine corks and a super cute Fall decoration!

I’m a big fan of using things around my house to create a decor item! One of my most favorite projects is still this Chrysanthemum Clock made from plastic spoons or this Sunburst Mirror made from a candle holder! I love people’s reactions when they realize I made it and what I used! Today let’s pour ourselves a glass of wine and get to crafting! {wink}

Supplies Needed:

34 Corks
Orange Paint
Green Scrapbooking Paper
Green Washi Tape
Thin Craft Wire
Raffia
Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks
Newspaper
Paper Plate
Scissors

I started out by spreading out a sheet of newspaper, then I used a bit of orange paint and dabbed one end of the cork into to the paint. If it’s on too thick, simply daub the cork down a few times to remove the excess. Repeat this for all corks.

Lay all the corks out on the newspaper to dry.

While those are drying, I cut a few leaves from some scrapbooking paper/green cardstock.

Once the corks are dry, start assembling with your hot glue. Start out with a row of 5 corks, next row is 6 corks, next row is 7 corks, then top with 6 cork layer, and then a 5 cork layer and finish with a 4 cork layer. Then I added another cork as the stem. You can also make a cute curly-Q with some washi tape and wire! You can find out how I made that stem here.

Next I bent the paper leaves slightly to give them some dimension and glued them into place.

I thought it needed something else to finish it so I added a raffia bow by simply tying a string or two of raffia in a bow!

There you have it! A super cute little pumpkin to adorn your mantel or table top! If you like this pumpkin project I welcome you to hop over and see how easy it is to make these cute Clay Pot Pumpkins!
