Winter Craft Ideas

When you're home all day and you're four year old has inherited your intense desire to craft, you have to come up with fun and quiet activities to keep him busy during your little sister's nap time.

Here's our latest project and we think it's pretty amazing. My son and I had the best time making these for all our close friends and family. They really were easy once we had it all figured out.

This is also a great craft for Christmas!

How to make Cork Snowflakes

Cut corks in half (you'll need 18 total so look for the best ones once they're cut.)

Paint tops and add glitter.

Once dry, use hot glue gun and six cork halves to make center of snowflake. (Use a seventh as a place holder for the middle, then pop out once the six are all glued).

Add two more corks to each point where two meet.

Next use tacky glue and a toothpick to adhere ribbon to perimeter. The toothpick trick really helps get the ribbon in the tight grooves.

Add an eye hook to tthe op and finish off with a ribbon for hanging. We loved experimenting with all the different colors and combinations. Happy crafting!

Here are some questions you might have now that you are making your cork ornaments.

Can Cork melt?

Cork is pretty temperature resistant and that is why you see them as used as trivets. I would imagine there is a very high temperatures for an extended amount of time could melt cork.

Can you glue cork to cork?

You absolutely can glue to cork. Because of the porous material of cork, you can use hot glue, tacky glue or even super glue.

How do you upcycle wine corks?

There are many different ways to upcycle cork. We have a few different crafts you can create with them. We have also seen them turned into small planters, trivets, and wreaths.
