In the last few years, I’ve lived in 4 states (I promise, I’m not running away from law). Each time I moved, I packed my car to the bream with my most valued possessions. One of those possessions was a large box of wine corks – saved over the years from wine bottles. The box also contained a few champagne corks, a few corks from good bottles of balsamic vinegar, and some corks donated by friends. Each time, I would look at the box of corks and wonder – what am I to do with it?
Making a cork board, a trivet, or even a reef has crossed my mind, but I just haven’t gotten to it. At least not yet. So for now, I came up with this idea.
I recently finally invested in some furniture, and the coffee table arrived yesterday! I love the extra storage that it provides and decided to take advantage of the glass top for display purposes. Using a wooden tray (recycled from a catering gig), I filled it with the corks and voila!
Glass of wine now?🙂 If you have any extra wine corks and would like to donate them, please let me know!
So cute! I love it!
You lush.
Al – thanks!Dana – don't judge😉 I said it's been a collection growing over years, and years.
LOVE IT, I have a dining table like that and TONs of corks. Thanks for the great idea.
Carolyn – so happy you liked the idea! Send me a photo of your table when you do this project.
Here is another idea. Love the light this gives off. http://www.twotwenty-one.com/2011/08/wine-cork-candle-holder.html
