Christmas Character Corks

It’s no secret that I love making things from corks and I’m lucky that I have quite a few Champagne corks to hand when I need them. The Cork Nativity that I made a few years ago is still doing great service but I wanted a few new cork characters this Christmas and came up with Santa after being inspired by Red Ted Art Cork Santa.

Santa obviously lead to a reindeer and on to a snowman.

Then LBG suggested a ‘girl’ which is how we came to have Clara and The Nutcracker from the eponymous Ballet.

All Christmas Characters perfect for small world play, or hanging on the tree if you add a loop of thread.

I made the characters in the way I made the Cork Nativity. See here for details.
