Make Champage Cork Christmas Ornaments

Save money during the holidays and make Christmas ornaments from champagne corks. Here are directions to make a champagne cork snowman.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

With the nail and hammer, tap gently into the top center of the metal bottle cap lid. to pierce a small hole for your hanger.
Step 2

On a protected surface, paint the champagne cork white, and paint the bottle cap and wood disk black.
Step 3

Run both ends of your string into the hole on the metal cap, and knot on the inside of the lid so it is secure. A thicker string ensures it from pulling through the bottle cap.
Step 4

Glue the bottom edges of the metal bottle cap to the wood disk and let dry.
Step 5

Cut a small piece of fabric or ribbon and glue around the middle of your painted cork for the snoman's scarf, with the larger half of the cork at the bottom.
Step 6

At the upper half of the cork, paint on two eyes and a mouth with the black paint, and a nose with the orange paint. A toothpick works great for this.
Step 7

Glue the black hat, that has been drying, onto the flat top portion of the painted cork. Let dry completely.
Step 8

Now you have a frugal Christmas tree ornament, or a gift for party guests.
