Making Fall cork pumpkins- so easy Preview
I have been on a mission to use leftover corks for projects. I found the idea of Fall cork pumpkins on Pinterest.
Supplies
For smaller pumpkins I use four corks for the base. I stacked the corks four on the bottom, five on the next row, then six on the next row, five on the next row and the last row has four. I used hot glue to attach them together.
I coated school glue on sisal twine and wrapped it around a pencil to make a coil for the stem. It dries quickly and can be stretched to the desired tension you prefer.
I sketched out a leaf pattern on boiled wool and cut it out for the pumpkin top.
The pumpkin after stacking, hot gluing and adding the stem and leaves.
To make a stem, I cut a cork in half and hot glued it to the top of the pumpkin.
You can paint the cork ends with acrylic paint or leave them natural.

Thanks for the inspiration! Splotchy painted some with orange paint & gold glitter sprayed on after - and some left natural. They were fun!

Both sets are awesome! I like how they are more "Autumn" and not strictly Halloween ... will most definitely be making up some. Thanks for sharing!
