How to Make a DIY Wine Cork Wreath

Materials Needed / Source List:

  • Fir Wreath – real or faux
  • Decorative Bow or Ribbon
  • Wine Corks
  • Wire Cutters
  • Wire

Simple Tools to Make a Cork Wreath

Obviously, the first thing you will need to make your wine cork wreath is a fir wreath. You can use real or faux. I am working with a real fir wreath because the kids’ school runs a fundraiser where you purchase a wreath, decorate it and then return the DIY wreath to the school. Once returned to the school all of the families decorative wreaths are put on display in front of the school. If you prefer not to use a real wreath you can find many faux fir wreaths online (here).

Because we will attach the corks to the wreath using wire, you will need wire cutters. If you don’t have them already, you can get them (here).wine cork wreath, wire cutters, wine cork wreath with wires, diy christmas wreathYou will need wire. I happened to have the kind of wire that is also used for hanging pictures on the wall, so I grabbed it for this project as well. Also, you will need paint. You can find great quality furniture paint online HERE. An added bonus, when painting furniture, you want to make sure to use a quality non-toxic furniture paint. dixie belle, dixie belle paint, chalk paint, chalk mineral paint, order paint, order dixie belle

Lastly, you will need an abundance of wine corks (no set amount). If you are an avid wine drinker and have used corks then you are my kind of person ;). If you don’t have corks, no worries, you can get some (here). wine cork wreath, diy wreath ideas, wine corks, thigns to do with wine corks

Easy Steps to Painting Wine Cork Ends

Painting the ends of your wine corks is so easy that you don’t even need a paintbrush. Put some paint on to paper plates and dip each cork end into the paint. If you blob too much paint on a cork just wipe it off onto the end of the plate or paper towel. white chalk paint, paint wine corks, wine cork wreath, corks wreath ideas, diy christmas wreath

To keep this wine cork wreath in line with the Christmas colors the corks are dipped in red and white paint. Mainly, red on one side and white on the other of each cork. paint corks, wine corks diy, wine cork wreath ideas, diy wreath ideas, chalk paint

Adding Wire to Your Corks

Next, grab your wire and cut off sections in 6-8″ pieces using your wire cutters.  make cork wreath with wire, diy wine cork wreath, how to make a wine cork wreath, cork wreath turorial

Then slowly push the wire through the center of each wine cork. Some may take a bit more pressure, and if your hands are wet or sweaty they will tend to slide, making this difficult. pushing wire through corks, creative cork ideas, wine cork diy

But, with a little patience and pressure, the wire should go through the cork. how to make a wine cork christmas wreath, wine cork wreath, diy cork ideas

Once the wire is pulled through the cork, give it a twist to make sure the cork is centered and stays put. Then with the remainder of the wire attach the cork to areas of your wreath by twisting the wire around small branches. Use as many or as few painted wine corks are you prefer. pull wire through corks, cork wreath, wine corks, ideas wine corks

Once satisfied with the number of corks added to the DIY Christmas wreath it may still feel like something is missing. That’s exactly what happened here.  Adding a corkscrew would be nice. But since this wreath will be displayed outside of the school I’m afraid a corkscrew will not work. If the corks don’t already have people thinking I’m a total wine-O then a corkscrew definitely will. ????how to decorate a wreath with corks, wine cork wreath, decorate christmas wreath wine corks

Adding Decorative Ribbon to a Wine Cork Wreath

At this point, you may choose to grab a big red velvet bow or make your own decorative bow with ribbon. Use the same wire to attach your decorative ribbon or bow to your DIY cork wreath. To hide the wire that goes in front of the bow feed it through another cork as you are attaching the bow to the wine cork Christmas wreath. snowflake ribbon, wine cork wreath, decorative ribbon on wine cork wreath, decorating a christmas wreath, decorating with wine corks
