Today, we are going to share an idea for using wine corks to make flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At our golf club here in Spain (Golf Santa Marina), they very kindly keep the corks for us. So, we have a big supply to use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the cork flowers we’ve made are blue and yellow, but you can, of course, make them in other colours – we’ve also switched round the colours to make yellow flowers with a blue centre. Or a sunflower – yellow petals, with a brown centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think it’s fairly obvious how to make these from the photos, but clear instructions are always useful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Choose six corks that are the same height and width. <\/li>
  • Paint the top of the cork as well as around 1 cm round the top part of the sides. Allow to dry.<\/li>
  • Using strong glue, glue the corks together round the middle cork. Allow to dry.<\/li>
  • Place on some plain, thin cardboard. Draw round the bottom of the flower. Cut the shape out and stick the flower to the card. Allow to dry.<\/li>
  • Take an eye hook and screw it into one of the corks, in the middle, right near the bottom (unpainted end).<\/li>
  • Hang your flower and admire!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We’ve been making lots of cork flowers to sell at the Nations Fair which will take place in Santander August 12th-29th! They’ll be on sale at the Ukrainian stall there and money raised will go towards helping refugees in the area as well as sending essentials to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
