Create a Wine Cork Board



I love this cork board because it's become such a conversation piece in my kitchen. Everyone asks about it-- did I make it? how did I get the corks to stay? did I drink all those bottles of wine? where did I find the frame? I'm here to answer your questions!

Materials:
-large, decorative frame; or a cork board with a decorative frame
-various wine corks (Note: I didn't have enough corks at the time I was making my board so I bought a bag of 200 used corks-- I like the "touched wine" look-- for about $8 on Ebay)
-hot glue gun
-X-acto knife

1. Choose a design and place the corks accordingly on your board. If necessary, cut the corks in half or to the correct length.

2. Now glue each cork on place and allow it to cool.


I used the herringbone pattern and I found my framed cork board at TJMaxx or Homegoods, although I've seen them many other places.

This is where I collect my wine corks...I'm saving up to make another cork board!
