I don’t do alcohol but luckily (lol), some members of my family like to sip on a glass once in a while. And I was double lucky as they like white wine! Which means the corks were not stained and didn’t need any complicated prepping to remove the stains, other than cleaning with dish liquid to remove the smell.
How to make wine cork coasters
Materials:
- webbing (similar here)
- 19 old wine corks (available here if you don’t have any)
- sharp cutter or sharp knife
- ruler
- hot glue gun
- hot glue sticks
- cutting board to cut the corks. You can cut into slices or half pieces depending on how tall your corks are.
Directions:
- Measure the webbing against the corks and mark about 1/8″ away from the webbing edges, on both sides. This measurement is just for reference, you can leave more or less space, it’s totally up to you.
- Using a sharp cutting tool, cut all corks following these measurements. You need a clean, uniform cut across the surface of each cork so the coasters are stable once assembled.
- Using your glue gun, glue all pieces together to form a honeycomb
- Glue the webbing on the outside of the newly formed coaster, applying glue one cork piece at a time.
You’re done! Now enjoy your beautiful DIY cork coasters and celebrate with a glass of your favorite wine (or apple juice if you are a nerd like me! lol)
