I have been collecting corks for a LONG time. Almost a decade now… so it won’t surprise you when you see this, right?
I love doing crafts, but I haven’t seen a lot of “cork crafts” that have appealed to me. Until… I saw these adorable little Christmas trees on Pinterest:

I just had to make my own! So I gathered up my supplies and got my glue gun:
- Corks
- Ink Pads in Reds, Greens and Browns
- Glitter Glue
- Foam Glitter Stars
- Hot Glue Gun
- Color some of your corks by rubbing the ends on the red, green and brown ink pads.
- Attach a row of corks using glue gun. This will be the base of your Christmas tree. I did a random pattern, but you can do anything you would like!
- Continue adding corks, going in a triangular pattern.
- Add brown colored corks in a tree trunk fashion on the bottom, a glitter foam star or a ribbon on the top and maybe some glitter on a few of the corks for a little bling!
Have you made any crafts for Christmas decorating yet?

Cute project. I would have to run out and buy corks to do this at the hardware store. Good thing I’m on my way there next.
I *knew* I was saving all those corks for a good reason! 😉 Looks like we have a project to make. So cute – and it looks like an easy one to get the kids involved. Pinned it!
That is adorable! See you gave me a reason to start drinking more wine before Christmas lol.

Cutest craft ever! I love this!!
These are sooo cute !! I haven’t ever seen them, so it would be a unique !
I love all of the cork crafts I’ve come across lately. But I only cook with wine so my collecting is quite slow!
A really inspiring project. I never knew what to do with all the corks I gather during the year. Thank you.
so cute! my best friend has a collection of old crooks that she could use for this – i will pass this on to her!
These are super cute..now I need my MIL to save all her corks since I don’t drink wine.
I am getting all ready to start crafting for Christmas. This is SUCH a cute idea. I love it. Not sure I have that many corks, I guess I better start drinking 😉
