It's craft time people!
We all know that I heart all things wine.
Hubs and I have collected the corks from almost every bottle we've ever drank
And I've considered plenty of wine cork projects,
but a trivet or a bulletin board never seemed special enough to use my corks for
But I was inspired the other day to make these
gorgeous
easy
Wine Cork Monogram Letters
and knew that this was it.
Wine Cork Monogram Letters
Supplies
Wood letter
(I got mine at Michael's)
Glue gun
Wine corks
Sharp shears
(In case you need to cut any corks to form to a certain letter
H was easy, so I didn't)
Then
...get ready for it...
Glue them on the letter.
Then clean up all of the little spider webs trails that the glue gun leaves
Woah, tough right?
Let it dry and you're done!
And enjoy your handmade new decor piece
Complete with memories of many a happy evening.
Love the idea, but missing the corks or the time?
I have updated and refined this process and am now offering wine cork monograms, jumbo monograms, hearts, and other wine related home decor
At the My Happily Ever After shop! Pin It
Love this idea!

ReplyDeleteSo cute! I also love wine corks and made them into a wall hanging- it's on my blog. I love the mix of red and white wine corks.... I only love white, so I need to find a red I love to add in some color! :)

Cool! I was collecting cork wines too but one day,I got tired of not able to think of how I can use them and threw them all out! :-O Now I have to start over.

I "Crazy" love it!!! I am going to Michaels to get a monogram letter and then I better get drinking...LOL
ReplyDeleteI really like the mix of red and white wine corks too bad red wine gives me nasty headaches...
I love this! My mom is going to adore it. Thanks for the inspiration (and tutorial!)
ReplyDeleteCraft.com posted a monogram cork project not too long ago, because i reposted it to my facebook fan page since my friends and I made wine cork trivets.
