Wine Cork Board
This wine cork board is a perfect craft to
make if you father happens to be a wine lover! These look
great hanging in a kitchen, in his garage, or his workshop.
It makes a wonderful Father's Day present! It is
extremely easy to make, but you will need a ton of wine corks, often
more than you think you'll need. I kept thinking I had enough
corks myself to finish this project but I had to get more corks from
friends and family. If you have been saving your wine corks,
this craft is for you!
Things Needed:
- A wooden frame in the desired size.
The glass is not needed, so look for a wooden frame that is
meant to frame canvas paintings. These frames have a deeper thickness
to them.
- A piece of wood for behind the frame, cut
to the size of the frame
- Hammer and Nails
- Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks
- Razor Blade
- Lots of wine corks!
1. Begin the wine cork board by assembling the frame.
Hammer the board to the back of the frame so you have a good
base to glue the wine corks on to.
2. Begin in one corner, and assemble 8 corks in the pattern
shown below. You are free to try other patterns, but I have found this
block pattern really looks great. The wine corks look best
when the labels are facing out, and are easy to read (not upside down).
If you have too many of one brand (like I did), you can hide
some of the labels, by gluing the label side down, and just show a
blank cork now and then.
3. Once you are happy with the arrangement and pattern, pick
up each cork and apply a thick strip of hot glue to the back of it, and
adhere to the base. Hold for a moment then move on to the
next cork.
4. From time to time you may find that all the corks are not
the same size. In this case, a little trimming will be
necessary. Use a sharp razor blade and cut off the edge of
the longer cork to make it the right size.
5. As you work your way to the other edge of the frame, you
may not be able to fit a full cork in at the end, or complete the
pattern. Do the best you can. You can make "spacers" by
slicing corks in half lengthwise to make a tight fit, and it is hardly
noticeable in the end result.
6. The wine cork board can be used as a regular bulletin
board, just use push pins to hold up notes and photos!
