Cork ornaments are quick and easy to assemble.
All you need is an imagination, a glue gun and a few buttons.
I used a glue gun to assemble the corks in a tree formation and a champagne cork for the base. The buttons came from a collection aquired over the years for one project or another. I made sure that each tree had a unique combination of buttons, pins and paint.
I painted and used push pins as accents when I ran out of buttons.
A few more combinations and styles.
Corks work perfectly for grape cluster ornaments. I used acrylic paint to give the cork tops and bottoms a grape-like look. Jingle bells were tied to the tops with coordinating ribbon along with grape leaves accents.
These cork ornaments are simply embellished with beads but look great on the tree.
A few more using ribbon and bells.
This little green tree looks very cute on the tree. I coated the tops and bottoms of the corks with a generous dose of Mod Podge and dipped them in green glitter. I used a neutral colored raffia ribbon around the outside. This would be a great craft with kids as it is quick and easy to complete.
