diy coRK REINDEERSince a while I have been collecting corks, every time  a bottle of wine or champagne is finished, I add the corks to a big vase. So now as Christmas is coming is the perfect time to use some of those corks!

This time I will create some Christmas reindeer decorations, they are super easy and fast, here are the instructions.

Materials:

  • Red small pom poms
  • Small eyes
  • Small wooden sticks
  • Corks
  • Brown pipe cleaners
  • Glue
  • Scissors
