Wine Cork Craft Challenge
This challenge is for all of you crafty wine drinkers. If you save the corks like I do, you may want to make something fun out of them. I wouldn’t recommend trying the challenge immediately after emptying a bottle of wine, after all you will need all of your thinking skills to come up with a unique idea.
As with any challenge, the only rule is that you have to have at least one wine cork in your project. The theme does not have to be rustic, recycling is the main issue here.
You can submit a project from my submissions page or send me a link to a project already published on your blog for me to write a feature on here at renee.rustic.craft@gmail.com.
Once your feature has been posted on my site, it will remain on the home page for approximately one week and will always stay on this page and in the archives. I will also pin the feature to by DIY group board which has over 95,000 followers.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
I have used my wine corks to make wine cork keychains.

I recently made a box with lid out of cork and cardboard as well as a large utensil Holder with cork and tha plastic from an old coke machine display. I am now attempting an ottoman out of cardboard and cork With a pillow top so it can be used for storage as well I hope it goes well.
