make a corkboard out of wine corks

The corks are collected, now I need to know how

Yay! With help in obtaining corks from some friends over at bookcrossing.com, I was able to put a corkboard together this month, and it was so easy! Check out my new board on my blog: http://jennannej.blogspot.com/2009/01/craftiness.html

Just finishing up this project, I had 108 corks collected up and it resulted in about a foot by foot board. I haven’t built the trim for this guy just yet though, looking for a better way then I had done. Fun project to put together, but you have to store up a lot of corks to get a good sized end piece.

Does anyone need corks? I have a bunch! I would be willing to ship them to you.

How would you cut the cork in half without it falling apart? i want to do this so i have more to work with.

have gathered many corks including a bagfull from the nephew!

approximately how many corks do you need to do this? 40? 400? 4000?

I’ve got an OK collection of corks, we’ve nearly finished renovations….and I’ve found a spot in the kitchen for a groovy home made cork board.

thought I had enough corks, but it turns out I need like 300 more. I drink a lot of wine, but that’s still like a year or more wait to save up the corks. I feel I should earn the board too, so no cheating. :)

After 2 years of saving corks I had enough to complete this project and gave it as a Christmas gift. It was not as easy to complete as many of the directions that I had read make it out to be, but it was worth the work.
