Wine Cork Ornament



Here's a way to upcycle wine corks into ornaments!  I used various bead and wire wrapped them into a long dangle, you can make it as long or short as you see fit. I took some flex wire and attached to the end of the dangle and strung on some buttons for a base.  I used a metal awl to create a hole through the wine cork and pulled the flex wire through.  I topped it off with more buttons to finish it off the design and then just looped the end of the wire to make it easy to hang.  These can be used for Christmas tree ornaments, sun catchers in the window, or just to add a little sparkle anywhere.  It's also a great way to use up any orphan beads you might have. 

We'll demo how to do this at our Mapunapuna Bead Shop on Saturday November 17 at 2 PM in case you want to watch!  Hope to see you there!
