The Cork Wall

REPOST of a popular idea from 2012:


We love wine. We are certainly not wine connoisseurs, nor do we buy expensive wines, but we enjoy a glass now and then!

This is the area in my kitchen that I set up as a "bar" when we entertain. I HATE the plugs!

So last year I came up with this solution:

But I was "itching" to do something with all our corks:

I went to Home Depot and found a cute employee (this is where flirting helps) and had him cut some wood.   I began gluing on the corks....

And I made this temporary wall that can be removed very easily by the wing nut that holds it up.

Just perfect! I used over 800 corks and still have many left.

Now I want to make a wreath with the rest of the corks and I think I will pour myself a glass of wine!

Here are updated photos of the same wall 4 years later:

I finally made the cork wreath:

and also a thin cork bulletin board:

My daughter also has fun creating with corks and recently made this wall hanging, an idea she saw on Pinterest:

So, save your corks!!
