Any clever ideas for how to use wine corks? In addition cork trivets and bulletin boards. We drink wine every day with me, and I have a pack-rat collection of hundreds of caps. I need to understand something to do with them before my wife makes me throw them away. What have you done or seen or imagined?
Here are a bunch of bright ideas:

I like the Crown Chrstmas also:

How to make a mobile.
Napkin rings - Drill a hole in the center, nice thread ribbon through and tie.
Crown - I found this fun idea for a wreath in the Place de Start. You just need corks and a hot glue gun. Check out this picture of the final product.
Stamps - Cut the ends into letters or shapes and stamp in ink, paint, wax ....
Placecard holder brackets quarter of overall length to make a basic right. Cut a slit in the top and insert the placecard.
Pierced ears back - pull a little bit and viola!
These people have used caps to cover the wall around their bar! It is amazing! Pic Pic 1 and 2. I also heard of people who use them for backsplashes (coated polyurethane) and the borders around a mirror.
Cork Table Top - use plugs to cover the top of a small side (or you could make coffee in size again) table. ground to determine (i alway like two plugs horizontal, two vertical model plugs myself) with the hot glue gun and garnish with a piece of glass. excellent solution for one of these colorful paintings you bought at a garage sale and just never had time to finish.
I saw a French chef on the use of corks in PBS spouts on bottles of vinegar and olive oil. He just used an old cork, cut a small wedge (length) and inserted into the neck of the bottle. Works great, no more worrying about dumping out a lot.
Slice into rounds and the use of chair legs, or even unlawful under the glass table top to prevent slipping and scratching.

Put them in a blender and use them for cat litter, or add it to the ground, or let your reptile burrow through it, or mix it with epoxy was poured into a pie and let it harden into something to put something over in your pond ...
We just fill the pots with the times and use them as decorations, if you could find an old glass bottle of cold water and fill with them it would be cool.
or you could go to a local flea market to sell.
One thing is to make floats for fishing. Put them together and make flotation gear.
How long and how many caps have Do Ya?
