Recyling, reusing, repurposing are all part of our lexicon today. Everything from plastic bags being converted to fashionable handbags to outwear that is made from "pre-used" materials can easily be found.
So, for the wine lover, what are some things you can do with your used corks?
Here are some of my ideas-
Wine Trivet Kits: Save the corks from your favorite wines and create a trivet or serving tray
Tabletop Decorations: There are a variety of containers from oversized wine glasses to cork holders. You can buy them in the shape of a dog, owl, or even a rooster.
Picture Frames: take a plain, inexpensive frame and using a hot glue gun, simply stick your corks around the frame. Some people will cut the cork lengthwise to make a flat surface, but it works equally well- and is much faster- to leave the corks whole.
Jewelry: Make necklaces, earrings and bracelets from your corks. Leave them natural or for a unique look paint each one. This works best with natural corks.
