How to make a recycled wine cork adorable sheep perfect for Easter decorating

February 24, 2022 by Stefanie Girard

As Easter approaches, many people are starting to think about how to decorate their homes and gardens for the season. While there are many traditional decorations like Easter eggs, bunnies, and flowers, one unique and eco-friendly option that is gaining popularity is recycled wine cork adorable sheep.

These charming little creatures are made from recycled wine corks, which are transformed into cute and fluffy sheep using a few simple craft supplies. Not only are these sheep a creative and fun addition to any Easter display, but they also provide a great way to repurpose materials that might otherwise be thrown away.

These can be displayed on a table, mantel, or windowsill, or used as part of a larger Easter display. They can also be hung from a tree or shrub in your garden to add some whimsy and charm to your outdoor space.

In addition to being a great Easter decoration, recycled wine cork adorable sheep also make for a fun and engaging craft activity. This is a great project to do with kids, as it allows them to get creative and learn about the importance of recycling and repurposing materials.

To make a recycled wine cork adorable sheep, all you need are some wine corks, white paint, black paint, a paintbrush, a hot glue gun, and some cotton balls or white pom poms. Start by painting the wine corks white and allowing them to dry completely. Then, use the black paint to add eyes, nostrils, and a mouth to the front of the cork….

But wait, before that, drink up that wine…or hit up your friends and family…I’m sure we all know a wine drinker 🙂 and get your fluffy yarn scraps together so you can make a flock of these adorable recycled wine cork sheep.

… and then pop on over to the blog Craft Invaders for the step by step tutorial on how to to make recycled wine cork sheep perfect to decorate for Easter.

Don’t Toss That Old Fence! Here’s How to Give It a Second Life in the Garden

When our old fence blew down during the recent cyclone (thanks, nature ), I did what any slightly obsessive DIYer would do—I went straight to Google to find a way to repurpose the whole lot instead of sending it to the tip.

That’s when I stumbled across this brilliant tutorial from Journey with Jill about turning old fence boards into DIY raised garden beds. Total game changer. Not only does it save you money on lumber (which, let’s be real, isn’t cheap right now), but it also gives that weathered wood a gorgeous, rustic look that fits so well in the garden.

Her step-by-step guide is super practical, especially if you’re like me and not quite ready to part with “good wood” even if it’s a little rough around the edges. I loved how she emphasized prepping the boards properly and keeping the build simple—no fancy tools or complex measurements, just a solid, doable weekend project.

Why I’m Loving This Raised Bed Idea:

  • It’s eco-friendly (hello, upcycling win!)

  • The aged wood has such a cozy, natural aesthetic

  • It’s perfect for veggie beds, herbs, or even a rustic flower patch

  • And hey, there’s something very satisfying about turning storm chaos into garden calm

So if you’ve got a sad pile of fence boards and a patch of dirt calling your name, check out Jill’s full tutorial right here. Your future tomatoes will thank you.

Now I just need to convince the family that pulling nails from old fence boards is “fun quality time”
