fun, easy, simple and useful idea

or an amazing gift for that hard to shop for person who has everything.

Cork Board

How many of you have a collection of wine corks?

ME, ME ME- I DO!

Wine corks are pretty and qurky.

Like this one in the center.

It's OK if you don't. 

You can order them off of Ebay, or ask your favorite cafe or bar if they have any they are tossing out.

Supplies: 

• Wine Corks
• Hot Glue Glue
• Glue Sticks (plenty)
• Frame
• Thick Cardboard to fit frame

 First step is to figure out who is this gift for? 

You or that special someone? 

That's what I thought- 

What room are you going to put it in?

Now gather all of your corks and place them two by two on the cardboad in frame (do not glue yet).

No it's not Noah's Ark.

Fill the entire frame with the corks. 

It will get very tight and you might have one row going stright across or you might need to shave a couple, but don't worry they will fit.

 

By filling the frame first you will know if you have enough corks and if you like your design.

If you don't have enough or don't like the design we will show you another version.

Now for the tricky part-

Pick out each cork and hot glue it into place.

Second virsion

Stenciled Cork Board

With this version you will need a sheet of cork board

and glue into place where you would like the stencil.

You can free hand a design or even add a monogram.

We when with a Fleur de Lis.

TA-DA you now have a Cork Board.

You don't want to use plain ol' tacks do you?

How about making

Glass Tacks

 Come visit us at Chameleon Girls and see

what caper we will tackle next.
