It makes sense to concoct a mat out of wine corks. To be honest, it didn’t make sense until I realized that corks are not slippery and will grip nicely to tile. You’ll never worry about slipping out of the bathtub again! via crafty nest

Playing off the idea of those little signs you see tucked away in plants at your local garden center I take it! Very clever.

How To Make Hanging Terrariums
How about wine cork corn-on-the-cob holders? Much like the cheese spreaders, but with two prongs. Use stainless steel finishing nails with the heads cut off, or straight stiff stainless wire sharpened a little on one end, and epoxy into tight fitting holes drilled in the cork. Or, use bamboo skewers glued in with wood glue for a greener, even safer method.
If your saucepan lid has the right kind of handle (flattened u-shaped, hoop, etc, not solid) a couple or three corks that fit tightly in it make a nice cool-touch handle. We have one that has lasted years, even with the dishwasher.
Hi Daniel!
That’s a lovely idea! Would love to feature.
Thanks for the thoughts. 🙂

Hi! Great tutorials & ideas. I wanted to know where I could get so many corks other than buying them. For me to save up enough for a bath mat would take a very long time. Any suggestions? Thanks, Marie
I make friends with bartenders at local restaurants. They are nice enough to save corks from wine bottles for me, and I go by and pick them up maybe twice a month. Naturally, I order a drink or two and remember to tip them good. They don’t forget me. In the past I have sold them on eBay for a profit.
I ordered a box off of ebay of 200 corks…with s&h only paid around $30.00 for the entire thing. I have made 2 wreaths, 3 trivets, ceiling fan pulls and still have tons left! I’d try ebay or Amazon also.
I did a split cork backsplash behind the stove and under the cabinet. Turned out great> Picture is in pinterest under my name. I work for a Central Coast Winery (Talley Vineyards) so I have a great supply chain for new unused corks. I have also done cork trivets for great Christmas presents.
Hi Terry
I recently painted my kitchen walls and on the main wall I outlined a big square a different color. I want to outline the square with corks. My thing is I want to be able to remove them later if I wish. I tried tacky stuff figuring it wouldn’t be a permanent stick. I only used one circle per cork so that may be why they fell off the wall ha.. but I wanted to know what you used for behind your stove please so I can finish my wall. did you use permanent glue? can you please tell me what I can use but also will let me remove the corks? thank you much Terri
you make really cool things i have made almost every think and it’s turned out great following your instructions
We’re so glad you liked them Annalise.
