Creative Uses for Wine Corks

Creative Uses for Wine Corks by Arline Patten

If you cut them in half lengthwise, you can hot glue them to a square or rectangle backing board with a frame from trellis wood to make pot stands or a wall hanging to pin things to. They look really neat. If you need more corks, just contact a few restaurants and they will most likely keep them for you. You can also make a hot plate trivet out of corks. They are glued onto a 5-1/4" square of particle board, in alternating directions with no cutting necessary. They are very decorative and useful.
