Candlestick from wine corks
A beautiful idea is to decorate a glass candlestick with wine corks from the outside or from the inside. Outside - it's easy, just glue the glass with corks.

Every family has parties where they open bottles of wine. Corks are thrown away by many, some keep those on which the name of the wine or a well-known brand is written as a souvenir. And only the most practical know how to use them to make exclusive household items or souvenirs.
Corks are made from the bark of the cork tree. The plant itself does not suffer at all after the bark is removed from it, as it is restored. Each new layer has more valuable properties to apply.
From the bark of the cork tree, floor and wall coverings, furniture, shoes and even hats are made. And we offer a master class on crafts from corks.
Practical use of traffic jams
Most wine corks are cylindrical in shape. But there are also those that have the shape of a mushroom. They make great pens for drawers table. To do this, you need a self-tapping screw, the length of which exceeds the length of the cork. It is screwed into the "hat" until it stops, and then screwed to the table drawer.
From cylindrical plugs, you can build a rug for the hallway of any shape. As a base, you can use a rubber mat, leaving its original shape or cut out the one that you like best. Glue the corks around the perimeter of the rug with a glue gun, and then fill the space inside with it.
You can cut the corks into circles of equal thickness and also create a rug out of them. If the cylinders are of different thickness, the mat will be an excellent foot massager.
By the same principle as the rug, you can make a stand for hot dishes. As a base, a candy box or a shallow wooden box is suitable. One of the options for the stand: cut the corks into circles of the same thickness, place them on the table in any shape and fasten them with fragments of a spring for a notebook or a common notebook.
In spring, hardware stores sell peat tablets for growing seedlings. They can be successfully replaced by plugs. It is enough to cut them in half, cut out the middle and fill the ground. Seedlings that have grown stronger can be easily transplanted into larger containers.
Paste over any box or box with corks and line inner part cloth. You get a basket for storing small things, a candy box, a box.
Pins and buttons are easily stuck into the cork. Why not make an organizer out of them? Glue corks into the photo frame, for example, with a herringbone, like parquet. Now you can attach household notes, memos, recipes, children's drawings and other papers to the organizer.
In a cork in the shape of a mushroom, the hat can be painted under a fly agaric and used as a needle holder.
Wine cork decor
Very interesting crafts from wine corks can be made as interior decor. The main thing is to accumulate more of them, trying to have corks of different shades, shapes, sizes in the collection.

When decorating a banquet hall, corks are useful for making letters, numbers, holiday inscriptions, heart-shaped panels for a wedding celebration. Each cork is cut in half lengthwise into two half-cylinders and glued with its flat side to a base made of thick cardboard, plywood, plastic and other materials.
By the same principle as letters or panels, you can make a kitchen apron. The plugs can be placed in any order. A 2x2 chess pattern looks especially interesting: two corks vertically, two horizontally, etc.
To make a bottle of wine on the table look elegant, you can make decorative pendants for them. Cut the corks into circles and glue them in the shape of a grape brush. Decorate it with artificial leaves, tie a beautiful ribbon and hang it on the bottle.
Cork can be taken as a basis for Christmas decorations. For example, to make a deer, it is enough to attach ears, eyes and a nose made of felt, horns made of decorative wire and a ring with a bead at the bottom to the cylinder. Attach wooden beads to the cork, drawing eyes and a smile on them, make wings out of bows, and you will get butterflies or bees if you paint the base in black and yellow stripes.
By the way, the cork lends itself well to staining with acrylic paints or spray paint. If you put multi-colored knitted or felt caps on corks and draw faces, you will get funny gnomes. Glue a snowflake from identical circles and decorate it with sequins, rhinestones or a ribbon.
