This is a very versatile project.
It's too nice today to stay inside,
so I'm on my patio stringing wine corks
and red beads to make a garland.
Or:
If you don't live in south Florida then you can
say "It's too cold today to go anywhere,
so I'm staying inside by the fire and stringing
wine cork and red beads"
You can use any color beads. I found this
long string of red wooden beads at a garage
sale last summer for $1.00.
Larry pre-drilled the holes in the corks,
so that threading the fishing line through
went very fast.
I had a long string of corks/beads
accumulating next to me on the couch.
Like my last cork garland with tutorial
HERE. The red beads mean I can use
this garland for Valentine's Day,
Christmas, and the 4th of July.
I've been using so many corks lately I'm
actually now low on corks. I missed my
last opportunity to score lots of corks
at a wedding we attended.
I could have asked the bar tenders to
put all the corks in a bag then I could have
made the bride an nice sentimental garland.
(note to self) You can never have too many corks!
Cheers!
What a great idea for a garland! We live down hill from a winery. Convenient if you need to roll home. Maybe they would save used corks for me! Thanks for sharing!
