Wine Corkboard
written by threadslinger
Over the summer (thanks to my good friend 2 buck Chuck…well more like 3 buck Chuck in NYC) I drank a lot of wine. And, for some reason I always saved the corks. At first it was just a few stacked on my microwave, but pretty soon they had to be moved to a coffee mug, then a bigger coffee mug and finally, a zip lock. I needed something to do with all these corks I had and so I was inspired to make this wine cork board. It is super easy to make and only requires that you drink a lot of wine, who can say no to that?
Materials
Wine corks
glue
Old picture frame with the glass and picture parts taken out (this is for the shell of the corkboard.)
Directions
Arrange corks however you want so that they fit inside your frame. Then glue down and your finished you have your very own awesome wine cork board. A little tip, it is cool if you glue the corks so the label shows because it then can serve a pratical function of a cork board while at the same time showing off your awesome wine taste.
This is really cool! 2 questions though…what size frame did you use, and about how many wine corks? I want a big one!
so cute! i’m going to start savings corks
errr… *saving corks. really, that southern college education IS all it’s cracked up to be. haha.
Mine is 18 x 18 and I used about 128 corks (but as you can see from pictures I put them in groups of 2). I think that you could do one bigger if you wanted and it would look good, the most important thing is to make sure you have enough corks so start drinkin’
