DIY wine cork heart

Wine lovers, DIY peeps and all you romantics I have a fun project for you today. You will either need to have a wine drinking habit, throw a big party or collect corks for no reason for years and years like I do.

Start off by tracing a heart on some heavy weight card-stock .  If you are going to be placing the heart in a frame, make sure the paper is cut to the correct size.

Grab all of your corks and start hot gluing.

When I was all done with the shape of the heart I stuck the glue gun in-between many of the corks and added more glue to the sides so they would be secure.

Painted just the tops with various shades of pink and red that I mixed.

I placed it in a old frame I painted awhile back and hung it in the kitchen.

I like being able to see the sides of the corks, some bring back fabulous memories.

It has a happy home on our pantry door next to the Cabbages and Roses apron I had made last year around this time.

    Super cute. And I have enough corks in my stash to make a chain of them. Oh wait, maybe I shouldn’t admit that. 🙂

    What a super cute idea. Now I wish I hadn’t thrown away all of those corks that I was collecting and didn’t know what to do with.
