How To Make Wine Cork Wreath

Looking for a fun and artistic way to upcycle your wine corks? Look no further! In this blog post, we'll show you how to create a beautiful wine cork wreath that will not only add a touch of sophistication to your home or creative space, but will also be an excellent conversation starter. So grab your wine corks, a glass of your favorite vino, and let's get started.

What You'll Need

• A collection of wine corks
• A foam wreath form
• A hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Ribbon or twine for hanging
• Embellishments (optional)
• Scissors, wire cutters, and a ruler

Step 1: Prepare Your Foam Wreath

First, you'll need to purchase or make a foam wreath form. You can easily find one at your local craft store, or create one yourself using a foam wreath form and a knife to shape it into a circular form. Once you've acquired your wreath form, measure and cut your ribbon or twine to the desired length for hanging your finished wreath.

Step 2: Arrange Your Wine Corks

Before you start gluing wine corks onto your wreath form, it's important to arrange them in the desired pattern. You can choose a simple, uniform pattern or mix and match various cork shapes, sizes, and colors. Once you're satisfied with your arrangement, take a picture of the layout so you can easily reference it later.

Step 3: Begin Gluing Wine Corks

Plug in your hot glue gun and allow it to heat up. Once it's ready, start attaching your wine corks to the foam wreath form by applying a generous amount of hot glue to the side of the cork that will be in contact with the wreath form. Press the cork firmly against the foam for a few seconds to ensure a strong hold. Continue this process, following your predetermined pattern, until your entire wreath is covered in wine corks.

Step 4: Add Embellishments (Optional)

If you'd like to add some extra flare to your wine cork wreath, now is the time to do so. You can add decorations such as faux grapes, leaves, ribbons, or other small items that fit your theme or personal style. Attach these embellishments using hot glue, making sure to adhere them firmly to the corks and/or foam wreath form.

Step 5: Attach Ribbon or Twine for Hanging

Finally, attach the ribbon or twine that you cut earlier to the top of your wine cork wreath. You can use hot glue or a simple knot to secure the ribbon or twine. Ensure that your hanging method is strong enough to support the weight of your completed wreath.
