Do you have a Christmas tree with spare space? How about one or more sparkling wine corks lying around? If the answer to both questions happens to be “yes”, you’re in for a treat!
Get in the crafting mood and create these adorable sparkling snowman cork ornaments. It’s fun and easy. Plus, you only need a few supplies. These cork ornaments are the perfect addition to any Christmas tree or holiday decorations.
Supplies Needed:
Paint brush
Paper plate
Permanent markers (black and orange)
Ribbon
Scissors
Screw eye rings
Sparkling wine corks
Twine
White paint
Optional:
Glue
Hot glue gun
Assembly Steps:
1. Gather your sparkling wine cork and one screw eye ring.
2. Gently turn the screw eye ring into the cork. Keep turning the screw until you can only see the ring peeking out of the top of the cork.
3. Once you have the screw eye ring in the cork, hold the cork by the screw and paint the cork white. Depending on how your paint spreads, you may need to apply a second coat.
4. Let your cork dry completely. Again, depending on your paint and the number of coats you apply, this could take 5-15 minutes. To speed up the drying process, use a blow dryer or heat gun on low speed.
5. After the cork is dry, draw eyes, buttons, and a mouth with a black permanent marker.
6. Next, use your orange permanent marker to draw the snowman’s nose.
7. After you’ve drawn on your snowman, cut ribbon for the scarf. We cut our pieces about 5 inches long.
8. Gently tie the scarf around the snowman’s neck. In order to get the scarf to lay to the side, try tying a loose double knot. If you don’t want to tie the scarf, you can also use a hot glue gun to place the scarf on the snowman.
9. Cut your twine to the length that you want, loop the twine through the screw eye ring and tie a knot.
10. Place your snowman on the tree!
