St. Patricks Day Wine Cork Craft DIY
St. Patricks Day Wine Cork Craft DIY, a simple do it yourself craft idea for most ages for turning a cork into an adorable piggy.
Materials
- 1 Wine Cork - see post for details
- 1 Pink Acrylic Paint
- 3 Construction Paper - black, pin, and green
- 2 Googly Eyes
- 1 Pom Pom - pink
Instructions
- With the pink acrylic paint, paint the cork, including what will be the bottom.
- To make the hat brim, first trace a larger circle using a small can or similar sized item
- For the center of the circle trace a wine cork . Cut out the larger circle and then the smaller circle.
- For the body of the hat, cut out a strip of black construction paper that is as wide as the cork is tall and is long enough to wrap around the circumference + overlap to glue, of the cork .
- To make the ears, on pink paper, trace a small coin to make a circle and then freestyle a triangle on top of the circle to make the points.
- Next, on the green paper, to make a clover, simply trace or draw four hearts so that the bottom angles all meet in the center. Cut this out.
- Once the paint on the cork has dried, you can assemble the piggy. Start by gluing on the googly eyes side by side about ⅓rd of the way from the top of the cork.
- Glue the pom pom (nose) just below the eyes. With the pink marker, draw on the cheeks and circle where the nostrils should be.
- With the black marker, add the eye lashes, mouth, and dots in the center of the nostrils.
- Glue on the pink ears on the sides of the cork, parallel to the eyes.
- Next, glue the hat brim on to the cork, then add the rolled up strip of black paper to make the body of the hat.
- Top the hat with the smaller black circle to cover the hole. Finish the piggie by gluing on the clover on the hat.
