If you’re anything like us, you love your wine and feel this weird connection to the wine corks. They almost seem too fancy to just throw away once the bottle has been emptied, so we let them pile up in a corner of our countertop. We don’t use them for anything, but tossing them feels sacrilegious, ya know?
Luckily, the always resourceful Pinterest community has plenty of creative ideas for giving those wine corks a second life. If you’re looking for a fun, easy crafting project to work on this summer, you’ve come to the right place! In true Pinterest style, a lot of the coolest projects we’ve found either a) don’t link to the right page, or b) link to an Etsy page where you can buy it, so you may need to use these pictures as inspiration and then figure out how to make them happen.
This seems really easy and totally practical. Find a frame in any shape you like and then hot glue the wine corks into it. This will create a nice space where you can put hot dishes without worrying about them damaging your countertop.
