Wine Cork Crafts – Happy Hooligans

Who doesn’t love a good wine cork craft? Or maybe I should say, who doesn’t love a good excuse to open a bottle of wine?
This collection of our favourite wine cork crafts will provide you with the perfect excuse to uncork a bottle, pour a glass, and give the cork a second life in the form of an adorable ornament you can enjoy for years.

Want to give your wine bottle a second life too? Check out our painted wine bottles (for watering indoor plants) and our decoupage wine bottle candle holders.
We love crafting with corks here in my daycare because corks we can use them in so many different ways at the craft table.
They’re fun to stamp with, paint and glue adhere well to them, and you create just about anything out of a cork with a little imagination and creativity.
If you have a favourite cork craft that we haven’t listed here, please let us know about it in the comments!
