Start covering the wreath placing the cork side by side. Make sure that you applied hot glue down the side of the cork so that it is firmly fixed to the base. Start from the center of the wreath base and go on until you cover the whole base. You may need to cut smaller pieces to complete each row without leaving blank space.
Add a layer of randomly glued wine corks. Make sure they are firmly glued. You can choose which side of the cork to use. If your corks have a special design or a logo and you wish to display it, apply the glue on the opposite side.
Decorate the wreath. You can add a bow in red or green color, attach a poinsettia flower, pine cones, tree ornaments, etc. This is the moment when you can be really creative!
