Does fall make you feel crafty? In just a few minutes, you can whip up this precious wine cork pumpkin for a fresh new take on traditional fall decor.
There is something about the change in seasons that makes us want to pull out the glue gun. Especially as the colder months are coming into view. Chilly days call for fun indoor activities that the whole family can have fun with! And how adorable is this cute pumpkin? Made of only a few recycled corks, it’s simple to put together. If you don’t already have the corks, ask some friends or pop over to your local craft store. They sell bags of them for crafting – just be sure to take your coupon!
Karen Ellis walks us through the simple instructions. She paints hers orange, but you could easily change that to your taste. We like the natural look, or if your fall decor is trending toward non-traditional colors, you could match your pumpkin to that palette. We are excited to try this one out!
