Wine Cork Garland & Wreath

Have you been saving wine corks?

I had enough for a garland and a

small wreath.

It was easiest for me to just

drill holes in all the corks. I kept 

them steady in a vice.

 I have fishing line stored in a tennis can 

with a hole punched in the lid for a dispenser. 

I use tennis cans for everything! 

It's easy to thread the fishing line through

 the corks with the pre-drilled holes.

It goes very fast.

I stopped when I had enough for my space.

 I decided to drape it in front of the cobbler's 

bench in my living room.

It worked well with my fall accents.

 I think the garland would look nice on a 

Christmas tree too. 

I could add red wooden balls between 

the cork for my next garlands.

 To hang it, I cut a piece of wire hanger and

 bent it into a hook. The hook slipped into the

 slots that are in the cobbler's bench.

Now, for the wreath.

 I had enough corks left for a simple little
wreath just useing a wire clothes hanger.

Thread on the corks.

Bend it into a circle and use the hook

to hang it from my chicken wire

cabinet doors in the kitchen. 

I tied on raffia to hide the hook.

A little wreath for the kitchen.

I can change the raffia for

any seasonal color ribbon.

Endless possibilities.

Cheers!
