By Tipsment

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.

Step 1:

Thread wire through clothes pin

Step 2:

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

Step 3:

Twist one wire around the other in a spiral

Step 4:

Keep twisting into a spiral until you achieve your desired length

Step 5:

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.

Step 6:

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

Step 7:

Carefully stick the wire into the wine cork
