The bottle stoppers:
Once you’re satisfied with how your bottles look, you can then play around with making the bottle stoppers. Use whatever available materials you have. What’s important is for them to look like they’re made out of things usually found in forests.
This one is made from speckled oak galls, simply filled with plaster to make it solid. An eye screw was inserted so it could be attached to a cork. To finish with a natural, rustic look a little bit of Spanish moss was added.

This one on the other hand consists of tree bark chips, which shouldn’t be difficult to find outdoors. 🙂 You can simply cover a cork stopper with small bark pieces using hot glue and that’s it!

Almost the same goes for the spice tin can. If you have some cork sheets, cut them to shape and size a little larger than the tin can opening. Glue together three layers, and then sand the sides down so that the cork fits just right with the opening. Then again, cover it with bark chips.

To make your corks look old and weathered, darken them with art markers or alcohol ink.

Fill each container with sand or put some small rocks to give them some weight. And you’re done!
