16 of the Best Wine Cork Crafts
Wine corks are one of my favorite upcycles, and while I haven’t been doing it enough, I thought I’d still gather together a great list of beautiful and practical wine cork crafts for you to try. Collect these special to find things to make with them – and ask your friends for help if you need.
For some reason, corks have such a charm to them.
Maybe it’s the vintage-style imprints on them or the rustic feel? I dunno. But regardless, they are one of the easiest materials to repurpose – so go ahead, give it a try!

If you don’t drink wine (or if you don’t have enough saved up) you can always buy a bag of corks, which I’m going to need to do if I want to try one of these bigger projects (I have a few isolated corks lying around to upcycle – not more!)
Or, ask your friends to collect some for you – you never know how much wine they REALLY drink when you’re not looking!
