Wine Cork Coasters
I’m not much of a wine drinker but I have recently received a bunch of wine corks from a friend for craft use. I thought about what to make for a while and then I decided to make some coasters. It was pretty quick and easy and I like the end result. Surely if you are a wine drinker this would be a cute coaster to use!
What you will need: 
- Wine corks, I used about 20
- Hot glue gun
- Old newspaper to work on
- Pen, ruler, and something sharp to cut corks with
Lay out newspaper on a flat hard surface to work on. (I did this on my kitchen counter) Cut wine corks into equal lengths;use ruler to measure equal lengths and pen to mark where to cut.
I made 3 pieces out of each cork to use for my coasters.
Once all corks are cut, begin setting them in place to create desired design. I made a circle shape similar to a flower, but any shape can be made. Plug in hot glue gun and allow to warm up.
Starting from center of shape, glue outside with hot glue gun and attach a second cork in the design to middle piece.
Place both pieces on flat surface and push together; placing them on the flat surface for this will ensure the coaster’s bottom is all one level. Continue one cork piece at a time until design is finished.
Once the coasters are done, gently push all pieces together to ensure it will stay one piece. Allow to dry fully on newspaper before use.
cool use of wine corks!! love the coaster idea
