Place a cork on the point of knives to keep out of harms way. Great for kitchen drawers or when packing for picnics, BBQs or cookouts and Parties.

Rather than buy tip holders for my knitting needles at the craft store, I put old artificial wine corks to use! They already have a hole in them and the tips of the needles can be made to fit them easily. Another craft savings.

I had in excess of 500 wine corks. Some restaurants will save them for you. My neighbor crafts a beautiful wine cork wreath (and she says her design requires at least 500 corks). She 'nails' the corks onto a board frame work, & also decorates with artificial grapes & grape leaves.

Sometimes, she decorates a wreath with spanish moss and assorted sea shells. She said the 'nailed' wreath is easier than the glue-process.

An inexpensive recipe card holder is a plain little cork. Just cut a slit into the narrow end of the cork at a slight angle. Then slide your recipe card into the slit. You will be able to follow your recipe easily and it will keep your card clean.

I saw a hot plate made out of them. They had a picture frame and arranged and glued them in it.
Was unique looking.

The cutest thing I've seen is a cork bulletin board. The corks are laid on their sides with the label facing up then glued on to a framed board. You then pin notes into them.

Assuming they are not the rounded mushroom top type: Glue together bottom side down of one to the side of a top side down of another and keep rotating/building for a unique trivet of any size you choose ;-)

Check out my web album for lots of cool ways to use corks. I have been saving corks for ages in hopes that one day I will have enough to make a huge wall decoration!

This is a page about craft uses for corks. Once the cork is out of the wine bottle, it's easy to just throw it away. However, they can be used for a myriad of things, craft projects in particular.

Any ideas for making any crafts or finding a way to reuse corks from wine bottles? Any practical uses for them in the garden, or outdoors, perhaps?

Wine corks are great for fishing. Tie the line around a cork or drill small hole and put line through in hole then put match wood stick or a toothpick in hole. Also great to make fly fishing lures out of corks too.

To safely store an ice pick or any other utensil with a sharp tip, just stick into a wine cork. Better grab a real cork while you can get them since they are being replaced with man-made materials more and more often.
