Wine Cork Christmas Tree Ornaments with Tassels




Items Needed:
Real wine corks
Drill and drill bit (small)
Work surface for drilling
Embroidery thread
Beads
Scissors
Long needle
Needle threader
Tassels or homemade tassels 






Step 1:
Cut a 24 inch piece of embroidery floss and cut one tassel free from trim (or make your own tassel).  Thread needle and run floss through tassel.




Step 2:
Remove needle, then thread both ends of floss through needle and add beads of your choice.




Step 3:
Using drill and drill bit and safe work surface, drill through the center and down through the cork (I used pliers to hold the cork while drilling with the other hand).



Step 4:
Push threaded needle through the wine cork and add beads of your choice on the top.

Step 5: 
Tie a knot at the top of the last bead added.  Then cut the thread to desirable length and knot at top for the hanger.

Must try these for next year!
I drink 19 Crimes Australian wines ... tho am in UK lol
Their corks have the transportation crimes printed on them, each one a different crime and there’s 19 to read up on.
An interesting cork to use!
