Welcome, we are so happy you are here!
Today I have a fun Valentine craft for you,
a heart made out of wine corks and glass beads
This Valentine heart had a humble beginning as a pile of wine corks
Lay out a heart shape with the corks before gluing them together
I started by making the top part of the heart,
making two triangular shapes with a row of 2,
then a row of 3, then a row of 4
Then a row of 7 which joined the two triangular shapes together,
then a row of 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
and one forming the point at the bottom of the heart
The single cork at the bottom has a metal cap on it,
It was from a special bottle of wine that I love
I used E6000 glue but of course a glue gun would work too
I painted it in an ombre fashion with shades of pink and red
Some of the corks looked pretty rough~
Nothing that a little bling can’t fix!
I used red and clear glass flat sided beads
to cover up all the lumps and bumps
The silver balls in a random pattern
helped cover up big gaps between the corks and added more sparkle
I glued a pink gem to the cork with the metal top
at the bottom of the heart
A pretty Valentine heart!
Save those corks! 💗
