Wine Cork Shamrock
Pin For LaterShamrock Craft Instructions
Start making the shamrock by creating 3 clover leaves. Lay out 12 corks standing up on your work surface: one cork, two corks, three corks, four corks, then two corks. Glue the corks together on their sides in rows.
Then stack and glue the one, two, three, and four corks in a pyramid shape with a glue gun and glue sticks. Attach the final two corks between the first and second ones on the right and left sides to create a heart shape. If using liquid craft glue instead of hot glue, hold the corks together with a rubber band during drying. Using 24 corks, create two more cork hearts following the same steps.
