Last summer, after moving out of her place, Lauren gave me a bag full of old wine corks. I had noticed her collection before she moved, and was excited to do something with them since she still didn't know what she wanted to do with them. For a while this bag of corks just sat around my room until I saw a wine-cork wreath at another friend's house. Somehow, this grabbed my attention and I thought about what I wanted to do with that bag of wine corks Lauren had given me. This led to the creation of my first (and so far..only...) wine cork bulletin board!
Materials:
- wine corks
- hot glue gun
- wooden photo frame
Steps:
- If you don't have enough wine corks--cut each one in half length-wise. I used a kitchen bread knife, which worked okay for me. (but was still a pain!)
- ARRANGE the wine corks into a pattern on the backboard of the photo frame. I chose to go with straight rows because I thought it looked neater in the small space that I had. Next time, I might alternate with horizontal and vertical pieces. Make sure to leave enough space around the edges to fit in the frame.
- GLUE each piece down using a hot glue gun.
- Remove glass from the photo frame and pop the board back in. The frame now makes a nice border around the wine corks.
- DONE!
Super easy, yes? If you're having a wine-themed wedding, make a wine cork bulletin board to display seating cards for the reception or to post directions or other wedding-related signs. =)
Have fun!
