Wine Cork Crafts

Reading Time: 4 minutes

November 28, 2022 By Pioneer Settler Contributor 9 Comments

Did you know that there are so many uses for your old wine corks? The “cork art” craze has been exploding lately so we wanted to feature our favorite cork projects that you can easily make at home. The more complex projects will use a significant amount of wine corks so make sure every time you have a bottle of wine you save the cork! There are tons of great things that you can use them for even if you aren’t making wine cork crafts. You can easily make cork walkways, cork tables, and corn signs with these tutorials that we’ve featured below. Do you have a favorite cork project that you’d like to share with us?

Please leave feedback in the comments section below and we’ll be sure to add it to our list! Any interesting stories or fails while attempting wine cork crafts are appreciated. We like to hear about those too! Wine corks are used for multiple purposes. Did you also know that Cork’s bubble-form structure and natural fire resistance make it suitable for insulation in house walls, floors, ceilings and facades? Awesome. Here’s a few of our favorite projects.

11. Make A Wine Cork Bottle Stopper

I always find myself needing one of these. For some reason, I never have one laying around even though they’re so cheap! I love the idea of using vintage door knobs as cork inserts. It reminds me of something Anthropologie would totally charge a lot of money for. Who needs that when you can DIY!? via anotherdamnwedding diy bottle stopper

Wine cork thumb tacks on a cork board? Seems like a cork overload but it actually looks pretty awesome.  wine cork project

14. Make A Wine Cork Floor Mat

It makes sense to concoct a mat out of wine corks. To be honest, it didn’t make sense until I realized that corks are not slippery and will grip nicely to tile. You’ll never worry about slipping out of the bathtub again! via crafty nest

15. Make Herb Garden Skewers

Playing off the idea of those little signs you see tucked away in plants at your local garden center I take it! Very clever. Now you don’t have to worry about your garden becoming unorganized ever again! These would make fantastic little gifts for Mother’s Day or just for a fellow gardener. via shine your light Herb Garden Skewers

    Cork floats, right? Well, with that in mind ~ make sun glass neck chain w/cork pieces when you go to the lake. No sunken specs! Attach a cork to your key ring for the lake. No more lost keys! How about a small float boat for the kids? Come on, you can come up w/lots more ideas!

    Wow its really great post. I drink wine all of the time and I used to throw the cork, but now I understand the use to cork and wanna ship to some organization who does recycle wine corks. I have heard about an organisation, CORKCLUB who donate up to 2 cents per natural wine cork to causes that protect forests, reduce ocean garbage and protect beaches.
