Hearts are so iconic on Valentine’s Day and there are so many fun, easy and cheap DIY Heart ideas on Youtube. I saw the greatest little cork heart DIY craft image on Instagram by: @onecharmingtreasure and then I found a tutorial on Youtube yesterday, it was complete serendipity. I couldn’t wait to use up some old corks I had been saving for projects, I couldn’t wait to get the kids around the family craft table and make this cute little heart. I first started by assembling my materials at the center of the craft table, I just needed:
Materials:
- some recycled corks
- 1 cardboard or wooden heart (wooden one from Michael’s Craft Store or cut one from sturdy cardboard)
- and of course your trusty hot glue gun.
First, get your beautiful heart
Then start gluing your wine corks down with your trusty hot glue gun
This DIY Wine Cork Heart turned out cuter than I could even imagine and it was so easy, I ended up using all the wine corks that I had saved up for the first one I made and then went back to Michael’s Craft Store and got a few more packets of corks, which luckily they sell and some more blank wooden hearts and made 3 more for a beautiful grouping in my kitchen. My kids got home from school just as I had started my second heart and they were so excited, they completely took over the project, making five more. So not only did we have a nice grouping for the kitchen but we had enough so they could each give one to their Home Room Teacher as cute Valentine’s Day gifts.
