New Uses For Old Wine Corks

If you are like me, you have a few old wine corks lying around the kitchen. Don't throw them out...use them as decor! Here are a couple "corky" ideas for the next time you entertain!

Place Cards Holders: Take cork, cut a slit along the side, and insert a name card. Tip: If the cork won't stand on it's own- put a square of double-sided tape underneath it.

Centerpiece: Fill up a glass vase or jar with all of your old wine corks...simple!

Other idea: Instead of using the corks as place card holders, use them to create labels to identify your dips or dishes. Think wine and cheese party! Fabulous!

    This is a great idea. Think I might pass it onto good friends of mine. They have collected every cork from every bottle of wine and champagne since they started dating. They have giant basket full of them in their living room ... which you can imagine my 2 year old twins just love :)

    This is a wonderful idea Tori! I've even seen a wine cork photo frame. A great article to get people thinking about reusing items around the house instead adding to the waste piles. Thanks!
