If you’re like me, you’ve got more than a few wine corks hanging around. Here’s how to turn some of those corks into Christmas decorations in a few easy steps.

Step 1: Open up a favorite bottle of wine or grab a cork from the bag you’re waiting to recycle (you do recycle your corks right?). If you’re opening a new bottle, make sure to try to center the corkscrew so that you don’t break the sides of the cork for aesthetic reasons.

Step 2: Purchase yourself some Small Screw Eyes from the local hardware store. 13/16 of an inch is a good size to make durable ornaments.

Step 3: Screw a Small Screw Eye into the top or bottom of the cork.


Step 4: I’m always out of hangers, so I picked up a set at the local pharmacy. You can also use things like string or yarn.

Step 5: Attach the hanger to the Small Screw Eye.

Step 6: Hang and have a happy holiday!
