Last week, I started making new Christmas ornaments. These cute little snowmen are made from wine corks. It is not my original idea, I want to credit Shade Tree Carvings on Etsy, her idea inspired me to make these.
I painted the corks with a light coat of white paint. The hats are made from paper and I attached the heads to the bodies with a toothpick, leaving space to tie on a scarf.
To hang them on the tree I glued a small clothespin to the back of the body.
This is how they started. I have been saving corks for a few years now and I have my friends saving them for me as well. There are a lot of creative ideas out there for using corks. I really like this one.
Thanks for visiting!

Snowmen are my favorites and these are really cue!
Cute idea! I always like seeing what kind of crafting you are doing.
Popping back in to wish you a happy Thanksgiving! Hope you and your family have a wonderful day.
What did you use to make the hats?
Hi D ...There is this deal on Turn to 10 for BellaArt. here's the link
http://turnto10.upickem.net/engine/Splash.aspx?contestid=13026
for $10 you get a gift card for $50 ...the only catch is you have to use it all at one visit. Believe me you can do it in 1 visit. A lot of inspiration and techniques to be gotten there ! I've been going to a card club once a month there for about 5yrs now...it's fun & keeps me out of trouble. It feeds my addiction and believe me you will be addicted too. (tell Craig I apologize..lol)
Hey! I'm sorry to do this through a comment, but I can't find your email address listed anywhere. I'm a writer over at Crafting a Green World and I'm already planning several Christmas round-ups for next month!
I saw this post and I wanted to highlight it in one of the round-up posts I'm putting together. Would you give me permission to showcase your project? I just need your permission to use one photo. I will link to your post, share a short description, and give you a proper photo credit. Let me know if this interests you! :)
Thanks!

What are the heads? A cut cork?
Just made some of these with my daughter... We always have a great time making ornaments for Christmas. This was definitely a favorite! We added a coat of glitter paint over the white coat.... AMAZING!!
