Do you have a favorite type of craft? I do. I absolutely adore upcycled craft ideas (Six Dollar Family). To me, there is just something so calming about taking an item that would otherwise be trash and making something cute or beautiful out of it. These wine cork key chains are the perfect example of that.

For someone who may or may no have wine corks laying around, these are a great way to use them in a new way.

Reducing waste in your home depends on finding new ways to use old things quite a bit. It helps you to reduce your spending while keeping one more thing from going to a landfill.

Once you’re done with these wine cork key chains, you can also reuse the wine bottle to make an amazing wine bottle centerpiece!

These DIY wine cork key chains also make a fantastic DIY gift idea. They’re super simple to make and since you can make quite a few for right around $30 (even if you have to buy the wine corks), you could gift everyone on your list with a new key chain.

They are great stocking stuffer ideas too!

How to Make Wine Cork Key Chains

Another great reason to make them is they sell well too. Since they are so cheap to make individually, you can usually get a great return on your investment and keep them priced reasonable.

If you are looking to make some extra cash, these are a great idea.

You will need:

  • Wine Corks
  • Split Key Chain Rings
  • Screw Eyes
  • Eye pins
  • Charms
  • Glass Beads
  • Wire Cutters or Scissors
  • Round Nose Pliers
  • Flat Nose Pliers

DIY Wine Cork Keychains

To begin making your wine cork key chains,twist a screw eye into one of each wine cork.

Attach a split ring to the loop of the screw eye to create the key chain itself.

To attach, run the screw end through the key chain piece like you would if you were putting a key on the ring.

Next, cut an eye pin in half using wire cutters or sharp scissors.

Using the side of the eye pin that still has the loop, push a bead onto the pin. Then, push the beaded eye pin into the other end of the cork.

Finally, add the charm of your choice by twisting open the attached jump ring on the charm.

Slide it through the loop in the eye pin and twist closed.

See? I told you these were incredibly easy to make! Will you be making them soon?
