Cork Patriotic Tree Garland
Cork Patriotic Tree Garland
I saw some painted corks on Etsy and thought this would be a great way to decorate my tree on the lanai. I had lots of corks, so it was the perfect thing.
How to make this garland. I gathered up my corks. I used all "natural" ones. The ones that are waxy don't work well. I taped off one end and painted it blue.
Once the paint was dry, I peeled off the blue painters tape. For the most part it was good. I would have to do some touch ups.
So I got out a small paint brush and just touched up the blue. I found it worked really well, just to hand paint it. When I made a few more corks, that's what I did. These were much better.
Next, I got a thin piece of wire and made a hook on one end. I looped a piece of twine over it and secured it. I used this to go through the cork and I could pull the twine through it as well.
Originally, I was going to paint the corks red, white and blue. the centers were to be white, but after painting the red and blue ends, I liked it that way and didn't add the white.
These corks will stay until after labor day. I even have lights on this tree. You can see that it is actually in a Christmas tree stand.

Decorating Ideas on Thursday Favorite Things
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday friends. I hope everyone is well. I spent last night with my friend down in Ft. Lauderdale. I always enjoy spending time with her. We laugh and eat and usually have one drink. neither one of us is a big drinker.
One of the best parts is she always gives me a wonderful facial. I always feel bad because it get all of the benefits. Of course that is her line of work. I just enjoy it.
I am heading home today. Have a great day!
