Materials:

• Clear plastic ball ornament
• 15 wine corks
• Wrapping paper scraps
• Scissors

1. Cut wrapping paper into rectangles approximately 3” by 1”. One wrapping paper rectangle per cork.
    
2. Apply mod Podge around the middle of the wine cork.
    
3. Wrap paper rectangle around the wine cork so that the short ends overlap.
