25 DIY Wine Cork Craft Project Ideas

DIY wine cork projects

If you’re one of my faithful readers, then you know that I work at BYOB Fine Dining Restaurant in Princeton, NJ (It’s okay to stalk me! I don’t mind visitors lol). As a crafter, I have been collecting all of the wine corks that I can.

There a few different types of wine corks. Most are made FROM corks, while others are synthetic plastic…ew. I don’t like them, but I’m SURE I will find something to do with them lol. For Christmas, the boyfriend and I made some homemade Christmas ornaments out of corks. They turned out SUPER cute, and then I said to myself, “Self. What else can be made out of wine corks?” I was so happy that I answered myself with Google and other amazing bloggers!

I am so happy to report that I was able to get permission from lots of my other amazing bloggers in utilizing their pictures to show you some examples, and then give you some links with the instructions and pictures to follow along

. I didn’t hear back from a lot of the different bloggers for photo approval, but I still wanted you to enjot these amazing and easy projects. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed finding these gems! Of course, with Valentine’s Day approaching, I’m going to start off with my Faaaaaavorite one! It’s my favorite because the time and meaning behind it, and the love the went into it and comes out of it. Great technique on color usage and everything.

So, without further avail…here they are and have fun crafting!

You can easily see why this is my favorite! It’s just beautiful to me. The best part is that she DIDN’T dye the corks, those are just the different shades of red from red wines. So, they are naturally stained (so to speak). CLICK HERE to get directions.

5. DIY Wine Cork Trivet Projects

There’s actually TWO different trivet projects here. So, if you only see 24 items listed is because there’s 2 here!! They both use 2 different techniques in make one. One I happen to like over the other because of the heat resistance method used. The biggest problem with making trivets is the usage of hot glue, and how sometimes it will fall apart due to the heat interaction. The first is just adorable, with a hint of beautiful blue ribbon used to wrap it around for an amazing accent. It’s not just a square, it’s an octagon! CLICK HERE for those instructions. The other cork trivet, which I feel is a bit more resistant to heat is pretty cool in a circle formation. For those instructions, CLICK HERE!
