Wine Cork Pumpkins

These easy and simple wine cork pumpkins create a pretty unique DIY fall décor idea that will definitely get people talking! These wine cork ideas can be used at weddings too and could also make great gift ideas this fall season. And with Halloween and Thanksgiving coming soon, you could make these as a gift for the host.

I’m a big fan of reusing and recycling stuff I have around the house to create a decor item, I simply enjoy making the best out of almost anything! Like these wine corks I kept collecting from family members as I don’t do alcohol. These wine cork pumpkins add a pop of color to your home and are also a great way to teach older kids a little about crafting.

For this wine cork decor I made just a couple of small pumpkins but you could easily add some more wine corks to make yours bigger or make a bunch of small pumpkins. I also used traditional colors of orange, green and brown but do yours in the colors you like, I think they’ll look super fun painted in all kinds of color!

To make these wine cork pumpkins you only need about 20 minutes and just a handful of supplies you probably already have around the house. The result is a cute table decoration that will brighten up the mood year after year!
