Mickey Mouse Wine Cork Craft

May 12, 2021

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.

Notes

If kids are doing this craft, they will need help from an adult for the cutting steps.

How To Make The Wine Cork Craft

Step 1: Carefully cut two thin pieces off the end of the cork.

Step 2: Cut out a small wedge of cork on both sides of the cork at the top.

Step 3: Using the glue gun, glue the thin cut pieces into the removed wedge area to form the ears.

Step 4: Using the black paint cover the top, ears, and about halfway down the cork in black paint. Allow to dry and then give it another coat and allow that to dry.

Step 5: Using the red paint cover the lower half of the cork and allow it to dry. When dry give it a second coat too.

Step 6: After the second coat of red paint is dry, using the white paint, make two small white dots on one side of the red area. That is it you are done!
