What to do with all those left-over Wine Corks?

  • Make beautiful cork place holders for your next dinner party.
  • Make a trivet/hot plate. You can even use an old picture frame for your project.
  • Make a cork bulletin board.
  • Cork castle anyone? Or cork trolls? Great idea if you have kids!
  • How about cork ornaments with halved paper clips shoved into one end of the cork and attached to ornament hangers? Again, if you have kids, they can even decorate them! See this link for some ideas on decorating.
  • Or Christmas Decorations - using a needle and fishing line, string your corks together, use dried cranberries or other colorful additions to separate corks.
  • Use them as Floor Savers - slice the cork into small disks and attach to the bottom of furniture to protect the floors.
  • Use corks as Pin Holders - placed near your bulletin board for pins and tacks.
  • Did you know that you can compost natural wine corks (not the synthetic ones!).

Any other uses you can think of?
