Making Arts and Crafts Wine Corks Projects

In this modern world of arts and crafts,variety of designs can be made by recycling wine corks.So we can preserve the cork after the last gulp of wine is over in a bottle to be used for this process. If you accumulate enough corks, you can make all kinds of things. If you're not a big wine drinker but want to try cork crafts, you can actually buy large bags full of used corks for an affordable price. Ebay is a surprising place to buy cheap art and craft supplies, including corks.

So, what can you make with those leftover corks? A custom made corkboard is one idea. Cut corks lengthwise into flat rectangles and attach them to a wood-backed picture frame using a hot glue gun. Not only can this be used as a corkboard on which to attach papers and photographs, it can also be used for a serving tray. A smaller project done in a similar manner is a set of coasters. Simply glue cork onto four sanded and painted wood squares and you've got a handy coaster set to prevent drink rings from forming on your tables.

You don't have to cut your corks to make a corkboard, however. An artistic variation is to simply glue the corks fully intact, side by side until the frame is completely covered. Corks can be glued onto a wreath and adorned with decorative ribbon to make a great gift for any wine enthusiast. Kids can even get into cork crafts. For example, try gluing a red pom pom and googly eyes on the cork and attaching red pipe cleaners for a variation of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Corks are also perfect as is for fishing bobbers.

Arts and crafts wine corks projects are a fun way to teach kids the value of recycling. Rather than throwing away old corks, find new and innovative ways to use them. Many people collect wine corks. If you're one of them, try displaying them in a pretty glass vase adorned with a decorative ribbon. This makes a nice centerpiece and couldn't be easier to do. Corks make great boat key holders and perfect pincushions. They can also be used to hold corn holders and even reused as a bottle stopper. Drill a hole in the center of a cork, insert a long bolt, screw on a fancy knob and voila -- you've got handmade bottle stopper. These are just a few ideas for being creative with corks!
