So I am definitely not a DIY-er by any means. But this year, my mom had a great idea of all of our family making our own Christmas ornaments for our nana and papa’s tree and surprising them at Thanksgiving with the tree & the handmade ornaments. This is their first year they can’t travel to Florida for the winter because of my papa’s health and we all wanted to do something special for them, especially since all of their ornaments were left in Florida.
When I started making ornaments, I couldn’t stop!
These are 3 fun and easy ornaments anyone can make (especially wine lovers like myself who collect all those wine corks! )
I found all of these ideas online, but may have altered them a bit.
These are all super easy that you can make them for Christmas or for a last minute gift idea!
3 Easy DIY Wine Cork Ornaments:
FYI Don’t feel bad if you have to drink all the wine beforehand to get the corks 😉 Or during the craft, for that matter!
For most of these you will need:
A glue gun
Scissors (to cut wine cork)
Glitter
Paint
The birdhouse:
Need:
Wine Cork
Paint of your choice
Small stick
Cardboard cut for the roof
Bottom quote optional- I used a wooden gift tag
Bird also optional- I used a bird cut out from a card
Glitter for the snowy roof
You could also use moss for the roof to give it a more realistic look!
The Pinecone Reindeer:
Need:
Wine Corks
Pinecone
Sticks for antlers
Paint
Glitter
The Wine Cork Doggo:
Need:
Wine Corks
Paint
Felt for tongue
Pine cone for ears and tail (Can also use brown/black felt)
He’s kind of goofy looking, but cute.
Omg how cute and thoughtful of you to do this for nana and your poppy ❤ soseeet and I’m sure it will be so meaningful for them to see these ornaments when they look at their tree!
Also I’ve never heard this version of Blue Christmas — thank you very much for sharing! 💕
