A Beautiful Frug-Elegant look using wine corks! We are big Pinterest fans & have seen this project done & wanted to try it for ourselves. It’s pretty easy to do & doesn’t take a lot of supplies either. Just wine corks, glue (we use a glue gun) & a paper heart to follow like a guide.
We created our heart guide using a parchment paper (this paper keeps the glue from sticking to it). Great trick to know about hearts & paper & getting the sides to be EVEN- Fold the paper in half & draw half the heart. Cut along the line & then unfold and the sides will be even.
You can do anything you want with the corks- We went for mixing up the colors, heights & designs on the cork. Tried also to get the winery names to face sides we could read (lots of great wines here! Thanx to Todd, Randi’s hubby! hahaa) If you don’t have access to wine corks, check in with a local restaurant to see if they have any to give for free. Online, Amazon is a good option.
We actually made our first wine heart a bit too large & went on to make another one a little smaller. By taking our original paper heart we just cut a little off and followed that one. The larger heart was more difficult to hold together & needed a lot more glue for support. The smaller heart felt stronger.
LOVE how it came out. Beautiful for Valentine’s Day Decor. Plus, love the idea of using it for a party or wedding as a table centerpiece. Also a great piece to hang on the wall. The ideas are endless. Don’t be surprised if you see lots of wine cork hearts in our home decor!
