Mickey Mouse Wine Cork Craft

This Mickey Mouse wine cork craft uses real or fake cork. It doesn’t matter. You also don’t have to be a wine drinker in order to do this craft. You can buy corks for crafting purposes, just like any other craft medium.

One of my favorite crafting materials happens to be the wine cork. Part of that is because the material itself is so easily repurposed into so many different types of products. Another angle is in the original use of the wine cork. Wine so often serves as a source of inspiration. So the remaining cork at the end of a bottle of wine is a fitting symbol to use as a crafting medium. The irony is that the more corks you end up with, the less you are likely to do with them. Of course, you can always save them up slowly over time.

An Easy Way to Add Magic to Your Kitchen

Disney sells a lot of home goods. In particular, they offer ways to supply and decorate your kitchen. This Mickey Mouse wine cork craft is a terrific way to add a dose of Disney flair to your kitchen. It could be the start of a collection of character corks or you might choose to stick to the iconic mouse. It’s easy to make a Mickey Mouse wine cork craft using the right tools. It starts with the ears of course and then the classic red black and white paint colors. If you want to be a stickler, you may have to do some testing to arrive at Disney’s proprietary blend for the red in Mickey Mouse’s shorts.

Extra Credit for Using Disney Wine Corks!

If you want to be extra authentic, use a cork from the Disney family of wines. These include wines from Fess Parker (davy Crockett) the MacMurray Estate, Chappellet, Skywalker, Silverado, Frank Family Vineyards, and of course Kurt Russel GOGI Wines.
