MOM Craft!

I got my craftiness (and cuteness) from my Mommy! She made this wine cork wreath the other day as a gift. It's pretty easy, and a good use for all of our corks!


Cost: Around $5 if you already have the corks!
Difficulty: Medium, only because it involves a drill

You'll Need:
Corks (about 22 for a full wreath, this one has about 12)
A drill with a tiny drill bit
Floral Wire
Small jingle bells (ours were a little bit too big)
Scissors or wire cutters
Ribbon to hang it at the end!

Step 1:
Drill a hole on each side of your corks. 2 on top, and 2 on bottom that MATCH UP with each other. Do all of them before you start to make the wreath.

(Oooh she used the fancy corks!)
 Step 2:
Start stringing the corks onto the floral wire at the TOP.

Put a jingle bell in between each cork as you go.


**Then string the bottoms together with another piece of wire. This will create your circle!**


Tie the wires together at the end to finish of the circle. Then, add a pretty ribbon so you can hang it up!


If my mom can do it, you can do it!! Good job, mommy!
