Christmas Wine Cork Characters

"I have a jar of wine and champagne corks in my cupboard that I keep for crafting. In the past, I made a fun collection of Halloween characters out of them This time I decided to update my wine cork gang with a group of Christmas themed figures. I ended up making seven different figures, an angel, Santa clause, elf, Rudolph, snowman and a gingerbread man. This was a fun affordable craft for both adults and kids."

Celebrate With More Christmas Craft Ideas

If you enjoyed making the Christmas Wine Cork Characters, here are a few more Christmas craft ideas to try out:

1. Wine Cork Reindeer Ornaments: Use a wine cork as the body of a reindeer ornament. Paint the cork brown and add googly eyes, a red pom-pom for the nose, and small twigs or pipe cleaners for antlers. Attach a ribbon to the top to hang on the Christmas tree.

2. Snowflake Wine Cork Coasters: Cut wine corks into slices to create round discs. Glue the cork slices together in a snowflake pattern, then spray paint them white. Once dry, add some sparkly white glitter for a frosty touch. These coasters are both practical and festive for holiday entertaining.

3. Wine Cork Christmas Tree: Gather a variety of wine corks in different sizes. Arrange them in a cone shape to create a mini Christmas tree. Paint the corks green and stack them on top of each other, securing with hot glue. Decorate with small beads, buttons, or sequins as ornaments. Place your wine cork tree on a mantel or tabletop for a charming holiday decoration.

These Christmas crafts are a great way to continue repurposing wine corks and add a personal touch to your holiday decor. Have fun crafting and getting into the festive spirit!
