Today’s Pinspiration is for all you winos out there! Ever
wonder what to do with all the wine corks you’ve collected from really yummy or
cool looking bottles of wine? Have no fear! I found an adorable DIY to turn
those corks into a Christmas Tree! Yay! The amount of corks you’ll need will
really depend on how big or small you want to make the tree. I used a total of
21 corks, and it stands 4.5 inches tall. Sounds like a lot of corks, but it’s a
cute little thing!

So here’s what you’ll need:
Wine corks (the amount is up to you)
Red and green paint
Hot glue
The first thing you’ll need to do is dip one end of all but
one cork into the green paint. The last one, dip in red paint (I randomly had a
bottle that had a red cork-Franco Todini). Once all the paint is dry, figure out which corks
you want on each layer of the tree. The bottom layer will be the largest-mine
has 6 corks. Take the hot glue, and glue a line on one side of the first cork,
then hold the next cork to it so they dry together. Allow enough time for them
to dry before moving onto the next piece (I totally didn’t so I had to go back
a fix a few pieces). I suggest gluing each layer separately before trying to
put it all together at one time. This will allow the glue to dry completely,
and will make it easier to fix any loose pieces.
Once it’s all dry, open another bottle of wine and enjoy
your new mini xmas tree! J
