Wine Cork Crafts and DIY Decorating Projects

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.

    1. Kelly.. I would pay the shipping for all your old corks!! I don’t drink but I love crafts with corks.. My gram saves me hers but its not enough 🙂 if you would I would be so appreciative!

  1. 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…

  2. 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!

  3. I love your ideas. So many clever options to consider. I think I’ll start with a garland. Wow. Thanks.

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

    1. 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. 🙂

  8. 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 🙂

  9. 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.

  10. I love the idea with the cork key chains fr wedding favors but where do the stickers with the name and date of groom come from?
    Thanks Gina

  12. Thanks for the wonderful ideas! Can’t drink wine due to meds, but have wonderful friends who are saving their corks for me!!

  13. Does anyone know where I can get something like this in book form – my husband wanted a book of bottle cork crafts for Christmas – i can’t find…Anyone have any suggestions??? THX!

  14. LOVE so many of the ideas but the one I am saving for is the backsplash above my bar. If that looks good I will do more of the kitchen areas.
    Thanks for the inspiration!

  16. the wine cork wreath made by Tiffany has got to be the most loveliest and cleverest idea on making this delightful wreath I’ve ever seen!

  17. I do not even understand how I finished up here, but I assumed this submit was once good.
    I don’t recognise who you are but definitely you are going to a well-known blogger if you are not already.
    Cheers!

  18. Hi Kristi,

    I’ve dabbled a little into wine cork crafts, they’re easy and I always have fun with them and you’ve got a lot of creative ideas here. I love using them as place card holders. They were a hit at Thanksgiving dinner.

    I love the idea of the vase fillers. Think I’ll try that for Christmas 🙂

    Thanks,
    Liz
