What was the last thing you did for play or fun?
I am not a creative person by nature. A couple of my sisters are, though, and when we get together, they find creative projects to do.
A couple of years ago, we painted little sleds.
Recently, I saw a picture of a wreath made with wine bottle corks. There was a link to the crafter’s website that explained how to make one. It looked like something that even I, a non-crafty person, could do.
I had been saving wine bottle corks for years, with the intention of eventually making something with them.
I bought a straw wreath base and used a glue gun to glue corks around the outside and inside of the wreath. Next, I glued corks on the surface randomly, which was perfect for a non-perfectionist. I salvaged decorative items, including little pine cones and plastic grapes, from other Christmas decorations and attached them to the wreath. The result is not perfect, but I think it turned out pretty well.
More importantly, it was fun! I got to play with my glue gun! And my cat had fun batting corks around the room!
