I am working on items for a December 7, 2024 craft show. As I usually do for craft shows I’m doing small things instead of large items. This year it’s angels, specifically, wine cork angels. Of course, there had to be a new pattern for the wings.
A few weeks ago I shared my ideas of the wine cork angels. Over several weeks I worked on patterns to determine which was more appealing to me.
I started with the ones at the top, making changes here and there. The two second from the bottom are smaller and good for smaller corks, like whiskey corks. The two on the bottom are what I decided to go with, and specifically the one on the lower right.
The difference between these two versions is one split ring after the tip of the wings. This shapes the wings slightly narrower. The second version is the one I wrote out the pattern for. It can be found on My Patterns page as Wine Cork Angel Wings v. 2.
Between a friend and my brother-in-law, who each gifted me with a large bag of wine corks, I have a lot of wings to make!
I hope that your seasonal tatting is going well. Snowflakes? Snowmen? Angels?

Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. I have a couple that loves their wine and this will be a perfect gift!
Wonderful thought, Melissa! Let me know how they work up for you!
