I added some grapes or cranberry as extras.

Then I glued the tree to a wooden base. I decorated my tree with wine charms and grapes cut from a grape cluster ornament, attaching them with sewing pins, using the grape leaves and bow on the top. I also bought a wreath base, and am covering it with corks cut in half. When I finish, I will wind ribbon between the corks to cover the foam, and finish with a bow and a bunch of grapes. Since my husband makes wine as a hobby, these are for him.

He and his wife have the best parties and his wife told him to get rid of his cork collection, how I got it and what am I going to do with it???? A cork glued adirondack chair????? The furniture that one gal mentioned sounded uplifting but the picture didn't work. I guess we can glue these to anything, or how about a hammock area that just has corks below, inside some railroad ties and the hammock swings over the corks, kinda like the recycled play grounds. I think I just answered my own question, and if anyone has more corks send them my way, I may need some! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I have also seen an effective (and unusual) design where corks are strung through a length of fishing wire and notes can then be suspended.

I don't buy those expensive trivet boards, I go and find picture frames and I cut the corks in half with a scroll saw and glue them in,,with a plywood back and 4 little legs,they make the neatest hot pads!!

One thing I have seen is a notice board made of corks. Simply glue them tip-down onto a backing board when you have a large collection. You can cut them in half sideways if you don't wnat them sticking out so far, and get twice as many to use. Frame the board and you end up with a corkboard made by you!

It may someday be a conversation piece as all the cork trees in Portugal are hundreds of years old and are dying. More and more wineries are using plastic corks now.

They protect the points from getting dull and your hands from the points when you reach into your tool box. Report Spam or Abuse
