Do you like semi-sweet, sweet, sparkling, dry? Then you simply have to make a masterpiece from corks from wine with your own hands. Boil them for 10 minutes to make them malleable. Now cut, glue, sew ... What? See a selection of ideas and choose the best.
Hot stand
Perhaps this is the simplest thing you can do with your own hands. For a hot stand you will need about 10-15 corks of wine. Cut them along or cut them into sausages in circles. Now the details need to be joined: glue together, stick to the base (for example, a piece of plywood) or pierce with an awl and sew.
Picture
If you still think that cork corks cannot decorate the interior, just look at these pictures:
Bringing ideas to life is not easy, but real. You will have to carefully press the parts. And you also need a base - a large photo frame or plywood. As a background, you can use the real picture with grapes. You can also make color photo printing. Or use acrylic paints to paint a bottle of wine on glued corks.
Panel
Lay out the pattern from the corks. Glue to the plywood. You can cover the panel with gold varnish. This decor will be the highlight of the interior.
If there are few traffic jams and the product is planned to be large, use slicing in circles 0.3–0.5 cm thick.
Mat
Wine corks are made from bark of cork oak. Natural material is resistant to moisture, it is warm and pleasant to the touch. At least if you walk on it barefoot. Therefore, many decide to make a bath mat from corks. True, about 120 bottles of wine will have to be emptied before this.
Boil the corks for 10 minutes, cut in half along. After drying, stick to the rubber backing. So the mat will not slide on the tile.
Vase
Decorate an old vase with wine corks. For a vase of rounded shapes, it is better to use thin round plates. For square - rectangular halves. And you can make a cache-pot by simply gluing corks into rectangles, and then connecting them together. Do not forget about the bottom.
Board
Does your family leave messages for each other? Write reminders and make lists? You might be interested in corkboard ideas. You can attach notes to it using a pin or button. And if you attach hooks to the board, you get a wonderful housekeeper.
Frame for photos and pictures
Use wine and champagne corks to decorate a boring photo frame. Or make it from scratch with glue and a piece of thick cardboard (plywood). Complete it with beautiful buttons, twine. Combine different materials and shapes so that you want to look at the frame.
If you cook the cork from champagne for 40 minutes, it will become flat.
Clock
If a strict watch does not suit you at all, make a cork decor. You can draw a frame or take apart the watch and attach the mechanism to the corks glued into a circle or square. The main thing is to make sure that the arrows move freely and do not cling.
Apron for the kitchen
This is a brilliant idea of a budget transformation of the kitchen. It is suitable for those who are not afraid of hard work. Calculate how many plugs you need for an apron. Lay them as tight as possible to each other. And do not forget to leave holes for outlets.
Wreath
Cork wreath - an original decoration for the home. Corks can be glued to the base purchased at the store. Or do it yourself by rolling newspapers in a “sausage” and pasting it with tape. You can make a wreath with the help of a wire - put corks on it when they are still wet. Complete the wreath with artificial grapes, berries, cones, ribbons - with whatever you see fit.
