D.I.Y. Thread Spool Wine Corks

Today I want to share a cute and easy idea for making your own wine corks! These fun, decorative corks make sweet gifts. I love using them in my home because they add a little bit of personality! 

Supplies needed: wood spools and corks (i got mine from hobby lobby), double sided tape, wood glue, embriodery thread, scissors. 

1. Use double sided tape to begin adhering thread to your spoot. You can use a vintage spool with thread already on it if you like too. 2. Wrap thread around the entire spool. Be sure all the wood is covered. 3-4. Use a small dot of glue to secure the end of the thread. Rub it in so that it will dry clear. 

Next, Adhere your corks to your spools using wood glue. Let them dry completely. 

Aren't they cute!? This project is super quick and a fun gift idea for any wine lovers in your life! 

I also wanted to share a few other D.I.Y. projects using corks. I love this coaster project from Apartment Therapy. 

I think this how-to for turning corks into tiny stamps from Sweet Spot is so adorable! 

And this cork bath mat from Crafty Nest is pretty amazing too! I think I might save up a stash for this project! 

Hope your day is lovely. xo. elsie

We bought a bag of over a thousand corks last year to make fun stuff out of. I've seen the other ones, but the wine bottle corks are such a great idea!

I'm with you on the bath mat and trivets--definitely worth saving up a few dozen corks. Better get to drinking! ;-)

That would have been such a cute idea for my wedding as a favor or something! We had a cute as a button themed wedding with tons of vintage spools! I can't wait to make some. GREAT idea :)
