I just had my third boy this past July so I am extra thrilled to be here while Michelle gets to spend some extra time with her new little man! Today I am sharing this really easy and fun wine cork pumpkin project!

Supplies Needed:

  • 34 Corks
  • Orange Paint
  • Green Scrapbooking Paper
  • Green Washi Tape
  • Thin Craft Wire
  • Raffia
  • Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks
  • Newspaper
  • Paper Plate
  • Scissors

Pumpkin 1

I started out by spreading out a sheet of newspaper, then I used a bit of orange paint and dabbed one end of the cork into to the paint. If it’s on too thick, simply daub the cork down a few times to remove the excess. Repeat this for all corks.

Lay all the corks out on the newspaper to dry.

Pumpkin 4

While those are drying, I cut a few leaves from some scrapbooking paper/green cardstock.

Pumpkin 5

Once the corks are dry, start assembling with your hot glue. Start out with a row of 5 corks, next row is 6 corks, next row is 7 corks, then top with 6 cork layer, and then a 5 cork layer and finish with a 4 cork layer. Then I added another cork as the stem. You can also make a cute curly-Q with some washi tape and wire! You can find out how I made that stem here.

Next I bent the paper leaves slightly to give them some dimension and glued them into place.

I thought it needed something else to finish it so I added a raffia bow by simply tying a string or two of raffia in a bow!
