DIY Cork Pumpkin
This is so easy and really doesn’t require many materials… except for all the wine you’ll have to drink… for the corks, of course!
I usually don't have all the materials on hand, but for this recycling project, I actually did... which was quite exciting, because that usually NEVER happens!

If you don’t have a stash of wine corks at home, you can ask friends and family to save them for you! Otherwise, Happy Drinking :)

2. After the paint has dried, divide your corks into rows. You should have two rows of four corks, two rows of five corks, and one row of six corks. Glue each row together.
3. Let the rows of corks dry, and then stack them up and glue them together. Glue the cork you painted brown to the top.
4. Cut leaves out of the green felt and use your marker to draw veins on them. If you lack the ability to draw, you can find leaf patterns online and trace them. Arrange the leaves on top of the wine cork pumpkin and glue them on.
5. Tie your ribbon or twine around the top and curl it around to look like pumpkin tendrils. Put a dab of glue on the back to keep it secured.
