DIY Cork Pumpkin

STEP ONE

To begin the Recycled Wine Cork Pumpkins, gather all supplies. For the small pumpkin, attach two corks, three corks, and two corks with a glue gun and glue sticks. This bag of recycled wine corks is perfect for all your home decor needs!

For the medium pumpkin, attach two corks, three corks, three corks, and two corks with a glue gun and glue sticks.

For the large pumpkin, attach three corks, four corks, five corks, four corks, and three corks with a glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP TWO

Glue the corks together in rows. Stack each row of corks, using the photo below as your guide. Secure the rows of corks with a glue gun and glue sticks. If using liquid craft glue hold corks together with a rubber band during the drying process.

STEP THREE

Place Warm Sunset, Spiced Pumpkin, and Burnt Orange acrylic craft paint on a paper plate. Paint each cork pumpkin using a basecoat paintbrush. You could also leave the pumpkins the natural cork color. I love Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have one-coat coverage on most surfaces.

STEP FOUR

Gather a tree branch from the yard. Cut one-inch to two-inch sections with a pair of wire cutters or branch cutters. Attach a stem to the top center of each cork pumpkin with a glue gun and glue sticks. You could also use a section of wooden dowel for the stems.

STEP FIVE

Cut out leaf shapes with scissors, pinking shears, and scallop shears from three shades of green felt. You can also use scraps of green fabric or paper.

Apply a dot of glue at the tip pf each leaf and fold in half. This creates dimension. Attach to the side of the pumpkin stem with a glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP SIX

Tie natural jute twine into bows and attach them to the base of the pumpkin stems with a glue gun and glue sticks. The Dollar Tree craft section is perfect for finding good-quality arts and crafts supplies and getting creative!
