Cork Bracelets and Necklaces

Making Cork Jewelry Crafts

To make this cork craft, you will need parental help to cut all the corks in half as pictured in Fig. I . Your Mom or Dad will need a greased knife blade to do this. It will make the cutting an easy process easier. Then thread the cork sections on string with a sewing needle as seen in figure 2. Use two threaded needles. Pass each one through a cork before adding a second cork to the string. Fig. 3. Tie the ends of the two strings together in a pretty knot.

How to Make Cork Rafts

How to Make Cork Rafts

It is easy to make toy rafts with corks. Just find 4 corks and glue them together. Cut out 2 square pieces of paper and poke a pin hole in the top and bottom. Then draw a design on both squares. These are the flags. Next push the toothpicks into the flag squares and then stick them into the raft. Now go and see if they float. Now that was quick and simple, wasn't it?

Make a Miniature Umbrella from Corks

Make a Miniature Umbrella from Corks

If you want to make this umbrella for your doll, then you will need a cork, toothpicks, a long pin with a beaded head, and colorful thread, string, or yarn. Your parents need to help you with this step. Ask them to help you cut the cork to be about a half of an inch in thickness. Once they do that for you, you can work on your own again. Now insert eight toothpicks all around the cork to look like a flower as pictured in figure 1. Now get your string, yarn, or thread and weave in and out of the toothpicks, around in a circle, as picture in figure 2. When you are done wrapping the string, then wrap it around on of the toothpicks in the underpart of the umbrella. Now push the beaded pin into the cork on the underside of the umbrella, for the handle. If you don't have a beaded pin, then use a hair pin / bobby pin and ben the handle to form a letter 'J' at the bottom of the handle.

Making Cork Sail Boats

1 large cork, toothpick (plastic ones are best), one 2" square of white paper cut diagonally in two, scissors, pen or pencil, pan of water

To make these sail boats, you will need 1 large cork, toothpick (plastic ones are best), one 2" square of white paper cut diagonally in two, scissors, pen or pencil, and a pan of water. Firstly, write your name on the sail. Insert toothpick through sail and stick one end in cork. Now you can sail your boat in a pan of water.

Using Corks to Make Beautiful Stamps

 

Cork Printing and Stamping Techniques

Make your own personal stamps with empty wine bottle corks. You can decorate lots of things, such as stationary, envelopes, bookmarks, gift wrap, your backpack, and many other items. Before you start this project, you will need to soak the corks in water for a few hours. Let the cork dry a bit and then get a pencil or pen and draw a design in the cork. You are going to need to cut away the parts of the cork that aren't in the design, so PLEASE ASK PARENTS FOR HELP. Your parents might say that it is okay for you to use a butter knife or a simple pen knife...if they do, then get to it, but be very careful. Always cut away from yourself and away from your hands so you won't cut yourself. Parental supervision suggested!!! Now cut away the surface of the cork that ISN'T your design. This way only your design is a raised surface. This will be the part of the cork that is a stamp. If the cork isn't big enough, you can split the cork in half and use the wider / longer surface to make the stamp. Use a normal stamp pad or cover the stamp in paint, dye, or ink. Stamp the paper or fabric that you are looking to stamp. I hope that you had a lot of fun.

Make These Silly Cork People

Cork People Placeholders

Not only can corks be used to make printing stamps, bracelets, necklaces, and umbrellas, but they can also be used to make funny little characters. You can glue little and big corks together to make the shape of a person, bug, animals, bird, or whatever you decide to create. If you are making people, use a bigger cork for the body and a smaller cork for the head. You can use bobby pins for legs and arms or you can use other objects such as paper clips. You can paint eyes, nose and mouth on as well. For animals...you can cover the corks with felt and make ears from felt, etc. Use your imagination. To have your cork person into a note holder....just put the pin or paper clip into the note. This is perfect to send a memo to another person.

Making Wire Strung Cork Animals

Making Cork Wire Animals

You can even turn corks into cool floating animals. You basically just string corks on strong wire. As you will notice from the pictures above, the head is usually the smallest part of the body...and the corks get bigger until the middle of the body. Then the legs taper down to smaller corks too. The above animals might not look like much, but after you paint them, they will look amazing. For deeper instructions, please visit the craft here.

How to Make Cork Belts

How to Make Cork Belts

You will need Two 3-foot pieces of heavy white cord or thin white rope, 6 pieces or sheet cork 1/16" x 2 3/4", paper punch, stencils, stencil brush, and tempera or stencil paint. Start with two 3-foot pieces of heavy white cord or thin white rope. Using pattern (sketch a) cut out six belt links from sheet cork. Punch four holes in each link with paper punch or awl as indicated on pattern. Run cord or rope through links as shown in sketch b. Tie each end together in an attractive knot. Designs may be stenciled on links if you wish.

Use Cork Sheets to Make Cup Coasters

Make Cork Sheet Coasters

You will need a thin sheet of cork large enough to fit under a glass. You can buy this from crafts stores, drug stores, stationary stores, etc. You will also ned scissors, poster paint, paint brush, and a pencil. Trace desired pattern on cork and cut out. Paint design on top of coaster. A cool way to make a neat design is to use painter's tape to make a cool design...whatever you tape will not be painted so if you make an 'x' with the tape ... and paint ... you will get a design that looks like 4 pieces of pizza.

How to Make Cork Sailor Pins

make cork sailor pins

Paint a large cork blue for sailor body. for arms and legs. Bend ends of pipe cleaners to form hands and feet. Use small cork for head. Paint white band around top of head for cap.
