Upcycling: Wine Corks

July 13, 2011 by Laura

Upcycling is like recycling except you use the item in a new way without tearing it apart to do so. Obviously that is the highly scientific and very specific definition! 🙂

Do you remember my wine cork mirror? I still love it and am still collecting our used wine corks! I have almost a jar full and am looking for new ideas and creative ways to reuse these corks. Thanks to Pinterest, I have some great inspiration!

This is such a cute idea!! Grab a cheap, thin wood letter from Hobby Lobby or somewhere similar then glue the wine corks on top to outline the shape of the letter. Hang and enjoy!

I loved this idea using the wine corks to make a cork board! Cork board…so obvious, right!? I know, I thought the same thing. This would be a great addition to the side of our oven/microwave wall and will help keep our invitations and announcements organized and displayed!

Do you have any great ideas for wine corks? Bring them on!

    Love these ideas! My sister bought me a cork board kit for Christmas a couple years ago and I had a blast making it! It was kinda like a puzzle. But I LOVE the letter idea. I have a lot of corks right now. Might have to try that one out! Miss you friend!
