Wine Cork Art

 My husband made this little piece of artwork the other day. 


He started by cutting a flat side on the back of each cork so they could easily be glued in.   He then cut half of them a little shorter so they would all fit in.  (two corks sideways are shorter than one cork longways, so the longways ones get cut)



He made the frame, but had it this far before I got a picture--sorry!  He used the popsicle sticks to make sure they were lined up straight.





He glued them in, alternating back and forth, making sure that the winery names were going the right way.





And it's done.  What an inexpensive and fun piece of art.




Thanks for coming by!

  4. I love this...a friend of mine did this to the counter top in her butler's pantry. She lives in a really old house and the counter top was yellow formica. It was such an improvement! You are so lucky to have a handy husband...better keep him around! Have a good week.

  10. Very clever project, Pam! And how nice to use the corks instead of just tossing them. I've been saving mine for "something" and now I've been inspired by your art. Nice job.

  12. Love it Pam...A friend of mine used to work at a bar and collected corks for years. She did what you did, only in the largest frame you have ever seen. She uses it as a bulletin board in her kitchen....

    Take care,
    Lisa
