After breaking into that bottle of wine, the cork sits on the table. Instead of tossing it in the trash, tap into its potential. Wine corks are one of the most versatile DIY craft materials, yet many don’t know how to use them. From practical to aesthetic DIY crafts, you can do a lot with your wine corks! Here are five amazing DIY projects you can do with wine corks.
