When it comes to craft and decorating projects, wine corks are always crowd pleasers. They’re so versatile and have such great texture that adds a touch of nature to any room. If you’ve got a pile of wine corks hidden away, pull them out and get crafting! And if you’re a teetotaler like I am, you might try local restaurants and bars and see if you can take some of their corks off their hands for them. I’ve rounded up 30 different ways for you to craft and decorate with your wine cork stash.

Nice collection of ideas – thanks for putting it all together in one place

Love this collection.. Shared it on Facebook. We upcycle wine bottles.. This gives me so many ideas for the corks, I’m collecting quite a few! Thanks for sharing!
Freeform art, especialy the “swirly” one, is my favourite! Now some corks needed before my burts of createvity!

Thank you for the double feature. Some many great ideas in one place. We are honored to be included. Off to share on FB and pinterest.
I love this!
Those are some great ideas! How do you find all of those to do a round-up???
Lots and lots of Google searches…and Pinterest.
I always feel there must be something that can be done with wine corks, and now I’ve got a few ideas. Freeform artwork a la Anthropologie may be a little while away, so may satisfy myself with a cork knife handle in the meantime…
Loving the cork bathmat, where can I get one of these (or do I have to make it myself)?
amazing, i like it.
Thank you so much for featuring our Message board with wine cork bulletin board and chalkboard ! I was so surprised and you made my day! Love all the other ideas too! Great roundup!
I love your ideas. So many clever options to consider. I think I’ll start with a garland. Wow. Thanks.
Just saw this great round up! Thanks for the shout out!
What a great round up of ideas for wine corks! I’ve been collecting them for about a year with no clue what to do with them. Now I know! Thanks for sharing. I’ll pass these ideas on to my readers at ATL Vino.
I love these ideas! I found a different Christmas wreath in a magazine and made it. I would like to share here. How do I get the picture to you?
Oh no. I have found another excuse to drink more wine. Now I can claim I am just doing it for my art.
Thanks for sharing these ideas.
i made a wreath out of my wine corks similar to the one you posted, but just a simpler design.

Love these ideas! What is the font you used for the numbered titles?? I love it! Thanks!
Lorraine, it’s Google web font called Euphoria Script. You can also download it free from any number of free font sites. Just Google it, and you’ll find it.
Thank you so much!!
Awesome! so many ideas with cork, I have so many left overs!! lol
http://ecogreen4fun.blogspot.com/o I love all the cork ideas. I will have to book mark this page for sure.
Cheers Neko
I thought all of the ideas were really terrific! I can’t wait to try them. (Only thing I could have used was explicit directions
If you click through to the original sources, I think many of them have details instructions for the projects.
Have fun!
Really neat ideas! Did you see the jewelry I make with recycled corks? Check it out!

I love the ideas but as a family of teetotaliers where do i get the corks??????
My local Whole Foods Market recycles wine corks. If you have an overflow & don’t know what to do with them. It’s a limited resource; and with the recycling, they can be made again into new wine corks. It’s a very good thought. I take mine there every few weeks.
Great ideas!
Great job on the wine cork round up! We have boxes of them and still have yet to make one project with them!

I actually made an ornament out of a wine cork to commemorate our wine making weekend. It turned out super cute, but then I am a little bit biased!
