DIY Cork Coasters
As you know by now, I love any craft that I can create using things I already have. I also love recycling! And these DIY Cork Coasters are the perfect way to recycle and reuse items that you otherwise just toss in the garbage bin.
If you are a wine person and don’t know how to find a better use for your corks other than trash, give these coasters a try. Simply twist your leftover wine corks, some hot glue and a ribbon onto these coasters.
SEE MY MOST RECENT VIDEOS HEREI love the versatility of craft ideas that wine corks have inspired and this project is so easy and simple to make it would be a shame not to give it a try. These wine cork coasters are perfect for your next cocktail party and will make you the talk of your friends.
I don’t do alcohol but lucky me, 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 preping to remove the stains, other than cleaning with dish liquid to remove the smell.
