Rubber wine corks make excellent erasers. Just cut one down the center and you have two useful erasers.

Do you have any tips on reusing wine corks?
We have a lot of information about this here on the site from a previous request. Go to: www.thriftyfun.com/
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.
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.
What can I make with a lot of wine corks?

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!
