Reindeer ornament from cork

Is this not the cutest reindeer all decked out for Christmas! ?!!!
My daughter made this for me and I love it.

She bought the beads and wire from Michael's and I had the bag of 100 corks  from a previous purchase.

It took quite awhile to make so I feel honored to have one!

Cork birdhouse ornament

I made a few of these for an upcoming craft fair.

Took corks that I bought and screwed in the eye screw at the bottom.
Took recycled corrugated cardboard and cut pieces and hot glued as the roof.
Before I hot glued, I took my Crop-a-Dile and punched a center hole for a loop of twine.
Added fake snow to roof and also hot glued a button.
Now for the dangle off the eye screw, I knew I wanted to put something but this took longer than making the unit! !
I repurposed an old necklace that I bought years ago from a flea market with the intent of using it for crafts.
Final added was the toothpick bird perch.
