Supplies for wine cork sail boat crafts for kids

Once you have your materials, it is time to get crafting!

Directions:

1. Begin by cutting your wine corks in half lengthwise. Use a serrated knife and gently score back and forth until the cork is cut through. Take your time, don’t rush, and of course only let adults do this step. If you are having trouble cutting, you can warm the cork up in the microwave (wrap in a damp paper towel first) for a few seconds to soften it.

2. Next you want to craft the sails. Cut out “bunny ear” shapes for this purpose. You want the ovals to be about the size of your thumb.

3. Once the sails are crafted, you can add them onto the toothpicks. Simply poke the toothpicks through the paper to create an arch. You want the toothpick to run through each end of the paper.

4. You can now press the toothpick into the cork. Press it in firmly so it is secure.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
