When you have a stash of bubbly corks and it\u2019s Christmas time, you make a cork garland.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me premise this first by saying I am not crafty.  I like to think I am and I buy a lot of crafty stuff and it usually ends up in a giant craft fail.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if I can complete a DIY cork garland project, I am confident you can too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cork Garland As Decor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I clearly chose bubbly cork garland because quite frankly those are the only corks I have.  And it would be strange if that wasn\u2019t the case, wouldn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was picturing this to hang the stockings, I was also thinking this could make fun all year round decor by simply re-stringing it without the stockings.  So don\u2019t be surprised if you see this bubbly cork garland appearing in pictures and videos all year round.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trial and Error<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I said, I am not very crafty, so when I first asked to borrow my brother-in-laws drill, I asked for the drill with the smallest drill bit.  Now, thankfully they know me better than this and gave me all of the drill bits, because it certainly wasn\u2019t the smallest that worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My next mistake was thinking this would work with sewing thread, so I borrowed my sister\u2019s sewing kit.  And while it worked, meaning the corks did thread through just fine, the first time I lifted the whole thing, it broke in half and I had corks all over the floor.  Who knew the corks were so heavy?  (Remember, not crafty\u2026LOL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we may have re-strung these several times before we got it right.  And there may or may not have been a super glue incident on the wood floor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So like I said, if I can do this and have a quality end result, you can too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
