Yeah, Christmas is around the corner and I am starting to decorate! πππ As I am all about crafts and recycling today I made a small Christmas Tree from Wine Corks! ππ
This project is very easy and fun! All you need is some corks (at least 20 but the more the merrier π) a glue gun and some pebbles or beads and bows to decorate your tree! ππ«π
Start from the top and keep gluing your corks in a pyramid shape! πΊ It doesn’t have to be perfectly smooth, as Christmas tree is irregular π, but it is goodΒ to remember to keep the layers of similar heights, especially on the bottom (in order not to have a leaning tower of Pisa kind of tree).. π
This is how high my tree turned out, but one can go as high and wide, as one pleases!Β I ran out of corks so my tree had to stop here! π
As a next step I pulled out some decorations! It is important to choose a color or two for the tree decorations and stick with it. I decided on red and silver-white! I made some red ribbon bows, twisted red and white pipe-cleaners for candy-canes and pulled out red and white glass pebbles! π₯π
I first decided to work from the top layer and glued the two red bows first, then layer by layer I added red pebbles and then white ones in between.. πππ
I decided to work from the top towards the bottom π gluing the two red bows on the top layer first ππ then adding all the red pebbles π΄π΄π΄ and then the white ones βͺβͺβͺβͺ and sugar-canes in between! πππ
And yes, one should not forget the top π₯ I choose a shining star and a sparkling ball for my tree! π I added some fake snow and cute animals around my tree that now decorates my room! πππ Hope you enjoyed this project and would love to see how yours turn out! Have fun and Happy Holidays, boys and girls! ππ
