Wine Corks
We celebrated our Christmas this past Sunday so I have some time to myself. Yay! I'm still cleaning up and taking dishes and glasses downstairs. There were some empty bottles of wine, which means I have some more wine corks! I went to put them where I've been storing them and was floored to see how many I have!! I've been saving them for a while with no particular idea of what to do with them. Well the time has come to either use them in something or toss them out! But I have NO idea what to do with them. I know quilters enjoy a glass of wine now and then, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for me.

I have seen them put together to form heat proof hot pads. I have also seen then put onto wreaths and decorated with artificial grapes. If you google using wine corks for crafts you will probably get lots of ideas.
|
There have been ads on CL , someone looking for them.
|
go to pinterest and you'll find lots of ideas ..... If you can't use them, there are lots of people who would make good use of them. I wish I lived nearby, I could certainly use more. :)

I think I have about 15 corks up on a shelf. They are from the bottles of wine we have drank in the past 10 years.

I have a trivet made from cork, glued onto an acrylic base and 4 corks cut in half and glued on for the 'feet'. I've also seen bulletin boards made from cork. Just a couple of ideas. . . .

Use them for tree trunks for mini knitted Christmas trees. I want to make some for next Christmas. |
My husband has made several trivets out of corks. He's made coasters too. I've seen cork boards also. Pinterest has lots of ideas.
