These cute and colorful wine cork succulent magnets make your refrigerator extra charming. Even not-so-green thumbs can easily make these.

Wine Cork Succulent Magnets


 

Wine Cork Succulent Magnets


What better way to use my wine corks than to make adorable wine cork succulent magnets? These magnets are the perfect adult craft that you can stick to your homemade cookie sheet magnetic board, fridge, or locker! I’m all about the DIY kitchen crafts.

I used real succulents in this craft, though you can certainly use faux succulents- which I suggest if you’d like them to last forever. You’ll want to occasionally water your wine cork succulent magnets if you’re going to use real plants otherwise they will wilt and you will eventually end up tossing them.

Craft supplies needed


You can find the printable version of this craft at the end of this post

  • Wine corks
  • Drill with size 5/16 bit
  • Wrench
  • Craft paint (optional)
  • Paint brushes (optional)
  • Blue painters tape (optional)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Magnets (1/4-inch, 6mm)
  • Soil (if using real succulents)
  • Small succulent pieces

How to Make Wine Cork Succulent Magnets


  1. Drill cavities in the wine corks first. Choose whichever size drill bit works best with your wine corks. That is the bit that is big enough to drill a cavity, but not so large to crumble the edges of the cork. I used a size 5/16-inch. Hold the wine cork with the wrench and drill a hole in the center of the cork.
  2. I’m making you use a wrench so you don’t accidentally drill your fingers. No injuries on my watch, please! You may need to drill two or three times to get a good size cavity. Be sure to only drill about three-quarters of the way down the cork. Shake out any of the cork dust.wine cork succulent planter magnets
  3. Next, paint your corks and let the paint dry completely. I blocked off the top of the cork with blue tape to give a dipped-paint look. If you’d like a more natural look, skip this step and don’t paint the corks at all.wine cork succulent planter magnets
  4. Use the hot glue gun to glue two to three magnets on the side of the cork. Let set well.magnets glued to the back of wine corks
  5. Add your soil and succulent and adhere to a magnetic surface.adding soil to succulent planter magnets

I love my little rainbow of wine cork succulent magnets. Maybe this will give me the confidence to tackle some real gardening.

    I am making these and using air plants. I was worried about the soil as well.

    Very cute however, you can find fake succulents type of plants at Dollar Tree stores as I’ve seen them before. Unfortunate real plants won’t work as it was the purpose to begin with, but you also have to take into consideration, succulents is a slow plant to grow and indeed needs room for roots to thrive. Maybe this can be a project for kids to do and share with friends or their teachers!

    Hello! Could you suggest an alternative to using a drill/power tool? Many thanks!

    I was wondering if you used anything to seal in the soil in case the magnet gets knocked off the fridge?

      We did not. After making this craft we’ve decided that it’s best to use fake plants as the soil area just isn’t big enough to allow the succulent to grow.

    Nice and easy craft idea and a good way to make the fridge look beautiful. Do you suggest any succulent plant in particular? How to take care of the plant ?

      Hi Feana! Actually while the live plants lasted for several weeks, it is a small area and doesn’t leave room for growth. So I recommend using faux succulents for this project instead!
