Corky Wednesdays: Halloween Corks

October is here!  Fall gardening is starting up and Halloween crafts are under way in our house.  So, this week I’m dedicating our Corky Wednesdays post to October’s ghoulish holiday!

Make a statement with your corks!

There are a number of sayings and words to choose from. I used scrapbook sticker letters and some synthetic corks I had on hand.  I chose synthetic corks since they offer a super smooth surface and always stand up straight.  Corks with or without a design work well for this easy project.

Our HALLOWEEN corks ended up on our foo dog (a Chinese guardian statue) this season.

Colored Corks

Colored corks would make a great Halloween wreath or would look good in a spooky vase with some spider webs.  Our orange and black wine cork supplies have been popular on Etsy this month. They have been featured in dozens of treasuries and we have just one all black set left.

And how fancy are these handmade artists on Etsy…

Tiny pumpkins made from a variety of recycled wine corks, acrylic paint, and wire.

Adorable candle holder made from a thrifted glass bowl and sliced recycled wine corks!

Hope you find time to enjoy a little wine cork crafting this season!
