Christmas Cork Wreath

For years I have wanted a cork wreath for Christmas.  

I saved my corks, and saved my corks, and saved my corks, and saved my corks, and saved my corks...  and then I sold my house, moved cross country and gave all my corks away!  

Trust me, you part with a lot of prized posessions when your entire life has to fit in an 8x8x16 foot Pod.

The idea of starting over was daunting.  I had years invested in this process.  So instead, much like the rest of my life, I decided to make something lovely out of what I had on hand.
My very fancy work station.  Yes that is a Domino's box.  Don't judge me.
I bought this grapevine wreath at Michaels.  It was $7.99.  Added the roughly 30 corks I have accumulated since the move.  Plugged in the hot glue gun, and Voila!  

Rustic Christmas Cork Wreath.  


The best part is that I can continue to add to it over the years.  And somehow, when it is all said and done, this is really much more me!
