Recycled Wine Cork Craft Mouse Decoration

We love to recycle and last year I asked my friends to collect wine corks, bottle tops, and other bits and pieces for me. We ended up with a whole heap of useful items to recycle and use in our craft projects and that is always great for the environment and for the budget. Today we have a fun and easy to make Wine Cork Craft Mouse Decoration.

This was created by a guest crafter and we are sharing it here on The Inspiration Edit.
