Supplies needed:
glue gun & glue
wine corks (A LOT!)
styrofoam wreath
ribbon
I'm definitely going to make this wreath again (maybe for a lucky sister or friend!?). Lessons learned: Next time, I will wrap the wreath with ribbon before gluing the corks, to make the spaces in between the corks less noticeable. Also, I'm going to buy a thicker ribbon, possibly in a deep red color, to hang the wreath. FYI, have a knife on hand in case you have to cut a cork or two in order to make them fit!

Me likey. I have lotsa corks too. I made a cork wreath once, but not nearly as cool as this. Going to try your ornaments. Thanks!

Thanks!! We just linked to your MMM.

This is WAY cool! I have a bunch of corks in a vase in our kitchen - probably enough to make a wreath! But I don't know if mine would look as good as yours!
