Do you want to make a wine cork snowman ornament?

OK, so confessions time today.

I happen to love snowmen during this time of the year, especially for decorating.

I know you probably thought that I would confess first to loving wine judging from the title.

But believe it or not, decorating and snowmen actually trump wine for this mom.

Don’t get me wrong I do like a glass of wine now and again.

But it has to be sweet wine, such as moscato or sangria. I know not much a connoisseur of wine. I guess even with wine my sweet tooth wins out!

But back to the subject at hand decorating. I also like to decorate as mentioned. But I don’t like to spend a lot if possible. So, repurposing and recycling is always a plus.

Therefore, this craft has it all. I mean snowmen, inexpensive with repurposing and getting to enjoy some wine, too in the process.

Instructions for Wine Cork Snowman Ornament:

  1. Begin by painting your wine corks with white paint. We used chalk paint because it dries quickly, but you can use any type of paint you wish.
  2. Once the wine cork has dried completely, make two small eyes on the front of it with a Sharpie marker. Step 1 for Wine Cork Snowman Ornament
  3. Cut the pointy end of a toothpick or wood skewer off with a pair of scissors. Leave it long enough to be the nose for your wine cork snowman, but not too long.
  4. Use hot glue to attach the nose to the front of the wine cork under the eyes you drew on in step 2. Step 2 for Wine Cork Snowman Ornament
  5. Use a small thin paintbrush to paint the wooden nose orange.
  6. Make a coal mouth for your snowman by placing small circles with a Sharpie marker under the nose on the front of the wine cork. Step 3 for Wine Cork Snowman Ornament
  7. Cut a small piece of ribbon and wrap it around the wine cork just under the mouth you have drawn on. Secure the ribbon in place with hot glue, and cut the ends off to make the ribbon into a short scarf for your snowman. Step 4 for Wine Cork Snowman Ornament
  8. Draw three small black circle buttons onto the front of your snowman under the scarf with a Sharpie marker.
  9. Glue two small craft pom poms to either side of your wine cork snowman’s head, these will be his earmuffs. Step 5 for Wine Cork Snowman Ornament
  10. Cut a small piece of sparkly pipe cleaner to serve as the band for the earmuffs. Glue one end of the pipe cleaner to the pom poms on either side of the snowman’s head. Step 6 for Wine Cork Snowman Ornament

    This is too cute!! I’m loving the little earmuffs! I love finding cheaper ways of decorating online. I also like to attend craft events at my local libraries because you can often make some really cute decorations there!

      Thanks Lauren and I agree the library craft events seriously have it going on. I need to make more time for them myself now, too 🙂

    That’s a cute little craft project. With my drinking history, there are no corks around here…and it hardly ever snows….sigh!

    Happy Tuesday my friend! It’s 6:50 a.m. and I’m already behind. How is that possible?

    That is too cute. I’ve made snowmen out of ornament bulbs and even marshmallows, but have never made them with a wine cork before. Will have to do this since I actually have a few wine corks laying around.

  7. Mary says

    This is my type of craft, I’ve saved more than a few wine corks for projects just like this. Can you believe I’ve never made a snowman, I didn’t see snow until I was 8. I love decorating too, especially Christmas decorating. I love the little toothpick nose on the wine cork snowman.

  8. Aunt Gloria says

    This is so cute….and so easy to make! I think even I can do it! And I’m not artsy craftsy at all!
    Great idea!
    xxoo
