Here's how to create a Snowman from Wine Corks:
STEP ONE
To begin the Upcycled DIY Snowman from Wine Corks, gather all supplies. Now, I LOVE wine cork crafts, but I am not a fan of wine, so I found a bag full of 250 recycled wine corks on Amazon for under $20 – SCORE! They are real wine corks and now I have enough for a TON of fun wine cork crafts!

STEP TWO
For the snowman head, attach two corks, three corks, and two corks with a glue gun and glue sticks. Glue the corks together in rows. Stack and secure two corks on the bottom, three corks in the middle, and two corks on the top with a glue gun. If using liquid craft glue hold corks together with a rubber band during the drying process.


STEP THREE
For the snowman body, attach three corks, four corks, five corks, four corks, and three corks with a glue gun and glue sticks. Glue the corks together in rows. Stack and secure three corks on the bottom, four corks on the second row, five corks on the third row, four corks on the fourth row, and three corks on the top row.


STEP FOUR
Basecoat each cork end with Titanium White acrylic craft paint using a paintbrush. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. You can leave the sides of the corks natural or paint them white. I love using Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have excellent one-coat coverage on most surfaces.

STEP FIVE
Attach the snowman's head to the body using a glue gun and glue sticks. Cut a triangle from orange craft foam and glue it to the center of the snowman head. TIP: Orange felt, or cardstock would also work for this project, use what you have on hand.

STEP SIX
To create the scarf, tie black and white gingham ribbon around the snowman neck and attach it with a dot or two of glue to secure it in place. To personalize your snowman, select a color and style of ribbon that best suits your home decor.
