Next, glue the dowel pieces into the corks and let the glue dry completely.

After this, shape the corks using a strip of 60 grit sandpaper.

(Its up to you how you would shape the bobbers to your liking.)

At this point, cut down the dowel to its final size with a utility knife.

Step 2

Wrap it with a plain polyester sewing thread.

Wrap it all the way up to the safety pin legs and then a little further up the dowel.

Painting the bottom of the wine corks

Slip the cut thread through the loop and pull both threads until the loop is tight against the windings.

Then give it a quick tug to pull both threads back through the windings.

Paint the top in the same way.

Once the paint is completely dry, add a protective coating by dipping.

Once the paint is completely dry, the bobbers are ready to go.
