Can you cut a cork?
By DIY MavenI came across these cute Wine Cork Placecard Holders at Bright and Bold. They aren’t made from real corks but rather resin. They have a flat base and a slot for the name cards themselves. On sale for $22.95 for 12, they seem DIY-able, if using real corks, of course. Which provokes the question: anybody every cut a cork?
Attention All Winos: Start Saving Your Corks
By DIY Maven
By my calculations, you’d have to drain 256 bottles of wine to accumulate enough corks to make this funky bulletin board (kit on sale for $19.95) available at Wine Enthusiast.
However, you could easily skip the kit, find (or, better yet, make) an appropriate frame, attach a thin plywood or MDF back and there ya go.
Also available are kits to make a trivet, serving tray and message center.
