How to Make Corks Photo Clips

Supplies:

• Wine corks.
• Malleable craft wire.
• Mini clothes pins.
• Exacto knife.
• Your favorite wallet size photos.
• Fabric dye if you are dying your corks as I have.

Thread wire through clothes pin

Pinch the wires tightly together to secure the clothes pin from moving

Twist one wire around the other in a spiral

Keep twisting into a spiral until you achieve your desired length

Follow fabric dye instructions and add corks to the dye. Depending on the dye it will take 1-3 days for the color to take. The brighter the color the shorter the time it takes to dye the wine corks.

Use an exacto knife to make a small puncture for the wire

Carefully stick the wire into the wine cork

This is a great way to upcycle wine corks into something cute and functional! These are pics of our first year and I just love the way these turned out.

I love finding new ways to up-cycle wine corks. If you have any, I'd love to see your creations!
