Every family has parties where bottles of wine are opened. Many people throw away corks, some keep those with the name of the wine or famous brand as a souvenir. And only the most practical know how to use them to make exclusive household items or souvenirs.

Corks are made from the bark of the cork tree. The plant itself does not suffer at all after the bark is removed, since it is restored. Each new layer has more valuable properties for application.

The bark of the cork tree is used to make floor and wall coverings, furniture, shoes and even hats. And we offer a master class on crafts made from corks.

Practical use of traffic jams

Most wine corks are cylindrical in shape. But there are also those that have the shape of a mushroom. They make excellent pens for drawers table. To do this, you need a self-tapping screw, the length of which exceeds the length of the plug. It is screwed into the “hat” until it stops, and then screwed to the desk drawer.

You can use cylindrical corks to make a hallway rug of any shape. You can use a rubber mat as a base, leaving its original shape or cutting out the one you like best. Use a glue gun to glue the corks around the perimeter of the rug, and then fill the space inside with it.

You can cut the corks into circles of equal thickness and also create a rug from them. If the cylinders have different thicknesses, the mat will be an excellent foot massager.

Using the same principle as a rug, you can make a stand for hot dishes. A candy box or shallow wooden box is suitable as a base. One of the stand options: cut the corks into circles of equal thickness, place them on the table in any shape and fasten them with fragments of a spring for a notepad or general notebook.

In spring, hardware stores sell peat tablets for growing seedlings. They can be successfully replaced by traffic jams. All you have to do is cut them in half, cut out the middle and fill them with soil. Stronger seedlings can be easily transplanted into larger containers.

Cover any box or box with corks and line it inner part cloth. You will get a basket for storing small items, a candy bowl, or a box.

Pins and buttons can be easily inserted into the cork. Why not make an organizer out of them? Glue corks into a photo frame, for example, in a herringbone pattern, like parquet. Now you can attach notes to the organizer for household members, reminders, culinary recipes, children's drawings and other papers.

The cap of a mushroom-shaped cork can be painted to resemble a fly agaric and used as a pincushion.

Very interesting crafts from wine corks can be made as interior decoration. The main thing is to accumulate more of them, trying to have corks in the collection different shades, shapes, sizes.

When decorating a banquet hall, corks are useful for making letters, numbers, holiday inscriptions, heart-shaped panels for wedding celebration. Each cork is cut in half lengthwise into two half-cylinders and the flat side is glued to a base made of thick cardboard, plywood, plastic and other materials.

By the same principle as letters or panels can be made kitchen apron. The plugs can be placed in any order. The 2x2 chess pattern looks especially interesting: two plugs vertically, two horizontally, etc.

To make a bottle of wine on the table look elegant, you can make decorative pendants for them. Cut the corks into circles and glue them together in the shape of a grape bunch. Decorate it with artificial leaves, tie a beautiful ribbon and hang it on the bottle.

Cork can be used as a basis for Christmas tree decorations. For example, to make a deer, it is enough to attach ears, eyes and a nose made of felt, horns made of decorative wire and a ring with a bead at the bottom to the cylinder. Attach to the cork wooden beads, draw eyes and a smile on them, make wings from bows, and you will get butterflies or bees if you paint the base with black and yellow stripes.

By the way, if it fits harmoniously into the decor, you can replace the rest of the entire furniture handles with handles made from wine corks - this way you will add a special charm to your apartment.

Chandelier

To make it, we need things that seem incompatible at first glance: a grill from an old fan, wine corks and twine. Having secured the socket of a lamp suitable for the lamp in the fan grille, and hung it on at different levels using twine and wine corks, you will get a designer chandelier self-made. By changing the height of the corks and their number, create new masterpieces.

Framework

Boring frames for photos and paintings can be enlivened. To do this, we will cut them into halves or several plates along or into circles across the cork and stick them on the frame. You can also use whole corks by gluing them horizontally, vertically, in a herringbone pattern, or placing them on the base. It all depends on the effect you want to get with a particular arrangement.

Cat toy

By knitting or sewing a cork cover from thick fabric, you can make a toy for your purring pet. He will love the new object for playing and sharpening his claws. You can make a mouse out of cork by putting a fur cover over it with a sewn or knitted tail and ears. Perhaps a new toy will become more interesting to the pussy than shoes and furniture, and will protect them from damage by sharp teeth and claws.

Holders

Holders for business cards, cards, notes, names of those invited to the celebration can be made in two ways. In the first case, a wire twisted at one end in a circle is screwed into the cork or, decorated with beads, it is beautifully wrapped around the wire. In the second case, a horizontal cut is made on the corks fastened together with an elegant ribbon or elastic band, into which the desired piece of paper is inserted.

Candlestick

An atmosphere of warmth, comfort and romance can be created with the help of two glass containers or glasses, one of which is two to three times larger than the other, and wine corks placed in the space between the containers. To add the right touch to a romantic setting, use scented candles.

Hanger

IN country house or at the dacha, a hanger made of planed boards and wine corks attached to it with a screwdriver would be appropriate. It is quite simple to manufacture and interesting from a design point of view. By treating the board with stain, drying oil, or varnish, you can give it the desired color.

Giraffe

To make this interesting animal - interior decoration, we take wire and make a frame, glue it with several layers of paper and glue the corks on top of the paper, pressing them tightly against each other and the base. Don't skimp on the glue, otherwise everything will fall apart.

Panel for notes

Often you need to leave some information to your loved ones. We write notes, phone numbers and leave it all in a convenient, accessible place for review. By creating a special panel of wine corks, the problem of where to place all these little things will be solved. Now, using needles and pins, we fix the pieces of paper with notes. We and our loved ones will always be aware latest events family life, and finding a phone number you suddenly need will not be difficult.

Tags for seedlings

Housewives sow several types of plants in boxes with seedlings, not to mention different varieties the same vegetable or flower, and then they forget what exactly and where they sowed. There will be no confusion if you write the name of the sown crop on the cork. Drill a small hole, stick a stick into it and place such a mark in the box with seedlings.

Skewers for canapés

To make skewers, we will need wine corks cut into circles, toothpicks and elements of their decoration: beads, ribbons, twine or thread in several folds, fabric for hearts, glue and everything that you can use to revive the skewers. Guests will appreciate your creativity.

Fridge magnets

For magnets we need a magnetic strip, glue and a wine cork cut in half lengthwise. You can use it to attach a list of proposed purchases, notes to family, photographs, necessary phone numbers and other important information to the refrigerator.

Hot stand

Using a glue gun, sandpaper, satin ribbon, a knife and several dozen wine corks, it will not be difficult to create a hot stand yourself, because it is always more pleasant to use something that you have made with your own hands than a purchased similar thing. We cut the corks in half, give them a cylindrical shape, clean the sides and glue them together in the form of a circle, hexagon or octahedron. We cover the outer edge of the stand with satin or other decorative tape or braid. If you make a loop on the side from the same finishing tape, the hot tray will become even more functional. You can use corks without cutting them in half, then the hot tray will simply become twice as tall.

Bird house

We cut out the bottom, walls and roof of the house from thick cardboard. We cover the walls with whole or cut lengthwise wine corks, and cover the roof with “tiles” made from circles of corks cut across. It turned out to be a very beautiful home for birds - a real fairy-tale house. While working, do not forget about the round entrance hole and a small stick on which the birds stand before entering the house.
