Decking the Halls

Holiday decorations are the perfect use for used wine corks. In fact, you probably have a lot of used wine corks from the previous holiday season to work with.

The wine cork garland seemed like the best option for me since most of the other ones seemed a bit more complicated than I could manage. I used some green ribbon and tied it around the cork adding wooden beads in between the corks.

It might have turned out better if I'd drilled holes into the corks and pulled the ribbon through but I was short a drill and I thought my method worked well enough.

Another one to try: I just really want someone to make me this adorable wine cork angel!

I actually do save my corks and used them to make a serving tray. Thanks for the new ideas

My favorite recycling project I have seen is where someone cut the bottom off some bottles and made hanging lamps.

Some neat ideas. I was planning of making a bulletin board with my corks but not thinking of a back splash but I will need a lot more corks.

@lakenvelder, I love the backsplash idea! As you can see, I'm not so crafty so I'd be afraid to do it myself but I think it would look stellar. Let me know if you end up trying it out.

I've been collecting corks for a while - one day I will do something with them. I tried to start the tradition of writing the date and occasion or what we ate with the wine on the cork we opened that night, but didn't keep up with it.
