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.

Recycled Paper Cylinder Face Art – A Colorful Win for All Ages

I recently stumbled across this super creative project on Instructables – “Face With Recycled Paper Cylinders” – and I had to share it with you all because it’s just the kind of craft that checks all my favorite boxes: recycled materials, hands-on creativity, and fun for literally any age.

The idea is simple but genius—roll strips of recycled paper (think junk mail, old magazines, leftover printer paper) into cylinders, then arrange and glue them to form a unique abstract face. You can make it funky, realistic, Picasso-inspired—whatever your mood or style dictates!

What I really love is the blend of eco-conscious crafting with true artistic expression. This isn’t just another kids’ project—it’s something you could easily do with a group of little ones, a classroom full of teens, or even as an adult art therapy or weekend wind-down activity. It’s super relaxing and surprisingly satisfying seeing all those paper rolls come together to form something new and expressive.

The tutorial itself is easy to follow, with plenty of visuals to guide you along the way. You don’t need any fancy materials—just glue, paper, scissors, and a board or piece of cardboard to serve as your canvas.

I also appreciate how this project leaves so much room for personalization. Want to make it into a full face? Go for it. Prefer to focus on a single eye or mouth? Totally works. You can even play with color schemes by choosing papers with a certain palette, or painting over them once they’re rolled.

In short: this is a total keeper for anyone who loves crafting with purpose. It’s the kind of project that sparks creativity while gently reinforcing the idea that beautiful things can come from what we usually throw away.

Highly recommend giving it a go—solo or with a group. And if you try it, tag me or drop a pic—I’d love to see your recycled masterpiece!
