Bird Wine Cork Ornaments

By 8 Comments

Of all the things that I DIY’d this year my favorite has to be the bird wine cork ornament. Aren’t they just cute and whimsical at the same time?

It even made it our neighborhood ornament exchange! Hope my sweet neighbor enjoys it as much as we do. 🙂

It was inspired by a similar ornament that I saw on BH & G where they made the bird out of a whole almond. I had to modify their templates to fit the narrower corks. I have posted the templates that I used here. Please feel free to download them for your use.

 

Materials

Red/ Gray felt 
Wine Corks
Cream/ Red Embroidery Floss
Cotton Ball or Polyester fiberfill
Floral wire
Twig
Pepper corns
Yellow Craft Paper
Hot Glue Gun
X-acto Knife

Tutorial

  • Trace the felt cap/hat pattern from the template and cut the felt accordingly. Using three strands of embroidery floss blanket stitch the bottom edge of the cap.
  • Fold the hat in half and with right sides together and whipstitch the straight sides.
  • Turn the hat right side out and fill with cotton/fiberfill.

  • Hot glue the cork to the cap.
  • Stitch through the top of the hat with six strands of embroidery floss. Tie the floss ends in a knot for a hanging loop.

  • Cut a piece of craft wire and shape it into the legs and feet using the template as a guide.
  • With an X-acto knife make 2 small slits in the cork where the legs would go and insert the legs into the slits.
  • Hot glue the legs to the cork.
