We’ve all seen those fantastic-looking projects on Pinterest that seem so easy, and yet when you compare your finished product to the original it looks like something that emerged from a chemical warfare experiment. Have no fear though, because most of the holiday wine DIY projects below require only the most basic second grade craft skills and yet the final result should yield something at least close to seventh grade quality.

Wine Cork Wreath
Load that bad boy up with the biggest glue stick you have and gather about 200 corks to get ready for this project. If you drink as much wine as we do, you’ll have no problem finding that many, and while this project may take a bit of time, the end result seems well worth it.

Stemware Snow Globes
Head over to your local arts and crafts store and get a bag of glitter and whatever miniature trees/animals/objects your heart desires and you’ll be on your way to completing this beautiful snow globe that doubles as a votive.

Wine Cork Christmas Trees
Here’s another good project if you have hundreds of used corks laying around. Of course you can scale the size up or down depending on how many you have – if you have enough of them to build a full 6′ tall tree, please send us a photo!
