What Ways Can I Decorate My Wine Cork?
I used a beautiful ribbon on the outside of the trunk and added lobsters to match the pink and white on the front of the trunk. You can choose to decorate your tree the same or you can change it. Some ideas are below that can make your tree unique.
- Use a different color scheme with more traditional holiday colors such as green, red, gold, silver, and blue.
- Match the colors or ribbon of your holiday theme with the rest of your wood or home decor.
- Use pom poms, sequins, or rhinestones instead of beads for a different look.
- Replace the ropes with small ornaments for a more woody look.
- Sprinkle the green cork tree before adding decorations to make it look more authentic.
- Add a small set of battery-powered mini lights to your tree so that it will shine on top of the already glowing tree.
- Apply glue and glitter to the corks before attaching the bead ornaments.
There is no end to how you decorate this cork tree. Just use your imagination and make it unique but still stay on budget and fit the rest of your decor.
Can I Hang It on the Christmas Tree?
While this wine cork Christmas tree decoration was not originally made as an ornament, it is easy to make it an ornament. You can add something to hang it and then place it on the tree.
Go traditional and use a normal metal hook or screw a hook over the corks to hang them on the tree. Another option is to tie more ribbon to it. You can also add some rope, thread, or ribbon to the corks as you attach them for a safer option of hanging them from your tree.
Should I Repaint Wine Corks?
When it comes to painting the corks for this wine cork Christmas tree decoration completely depends on what you want to do. You can paint this tree any color you want, or you can be more traditional and paint the tree green. if you choose to leave out the natural corks of the wine, it will look great too.
There is no right or wrong answer to painting this decoration. If you choose to paint this wood decoration you will want to use acrylic craft paints. This is the best paint for covering wine corks because it is not water based. It is inexpensive and easy to use. Even children can use acrylics but be sure to cover your area with clothing. While it is easy to wash hands, it cannot be removed from clothing.
Can I Make These Trees With Kids?
Yes. The only thing you need to watch out for when working with kids is cutting and gluing. While you can cut the wine corks in half before they can be assembled, you can easily replace the glue with something child-safe. There are several non-toxic adhesive options that are good for this. While baby school glue can be used, I prefer a non -toxic tacky craft glue for power control.
Supplies are needed
How to Make a Wine Cork Christmas Decoration
Cut 7 corks of wine.
Start gluing the corks starting with a line of three.
Then add the top four of those at an angle so that they are not centered.
In the third layer, add three corks, then a set of two, and finally a piece of cork to form the shape of the tree.
Tie the ribbon to the outside of the wood with glue if needed and place a nice bow on top.
Next, glue the two pieces to the side, then attach them to the base of the wood under the ribbon.
Finally, glue the ropes between each cork as mini decorations until you enjoy the look.
You can finish it off with glitter or add another length of ribbon or a hook to hang on your tree.
