Qorkz Crafts - Halloween Edition
/Welcome to Qorkz Crafts! If you're a wine lover like us, then you end up with a lot of extra corks. Some of these are remembrances of things past to be treasured. But you can’t keep too many of them of around unless you are trying to become a hoarder. And like us, you can only fill so many decorative vases. So what to do with your extras? How about wine crafts?
Halloween Pumpkin
Crafting Items Needed
To make a cute pumpkin you will need the following:
Twenty-five corks
A fabric leaf of some sort
Paint or markers
A hot glue gun and glue
Some twine or ribbon for a vine (if you want)
And a craft knife.
Instructions
First we colored our corks with a paint pen, but a sharpie works just as well. When they are dry, start gluing them together. Two groups of four corks, two groups of five corks and one group of six. Since the corks are of different sizes make sure that the colored edges line up. After the glue dries you assemble the pumpkin. Glue together one of the layers of five atop a layer of four. Try to center the layers as much as possible. Then add the layer of six upon atop that layer of five. Then working backwards with a layer of five then the last layer of 4.
At this point, you are almost done. Finally, take that last cork and cut it at the jaunty angle of your choice. Glue first the leaf, then the jaunty cork to center of the top layer. Voilà! You have a cork pumpkin.
At that point unplug the hot glue gun because if you are like us, you will burn yourself with it. And have a glass of wine! You deserve it, you crafty thing, you!
