Was working on this wreath for some time. The base is a straw wreath form that I got at Michaels. I put one end of a 2 1/2" finish nail into hot glue and pounded it into the cork then the other end into the wreath form with a hammer.
When I put the nail into the wall to hold the wreath (used hemp string to hold the wreath) to the wall, I carved out a space behind a champaigne cork and covered the nail head after looping the string on it.
The finished wreath showing two wooden ornaments I hung on it with fishing line. Below: I put a small vine wreath in front of the cork wreath for Christmas decorating.
This wreath has approx 1,000 corks in its construction. I saved corks and got donations from friends and restaurants for 10 years. If those corks represent a bottle of wine each, at a medium price range of $10 each, that would be $10,000 worth of wine! WOW!
