Thread wire through clothes pin

Pinch the wires tightly together to secure the clothes pin from moving

Twist one wire around the other in a spiral

Keep twisting into a spiral until you achieve your desired length

Follow fabric dye instructions and add corks to the dye. Depending on the dye it will take 1-3 days for the color to take. The brighter the color the shorter the time it takes to dye the wine corks.

Use an exacto knife to make a small puncture for the wire

This is a great way to upcycle wine corks into something cute and functional! These are pics of our first year and I just love the way these turned out.
