24 Wine Cork Crafts

Cut a small slice off one side of a wine cork to create a flat surface, then cut a 1/4-inch-deep slit in the opposite side. Voila! You have a simple-yet-elegant place card holder for your next dinner party. You can even make these in bulk for a wedding — they’re that easy.

Make inexpensive plant markers using wine corks and wooden skewers. Simply insert the pointy end of the skewer into the end of the cork, then write the names of your plants in permanent marker.

Protect your coffee table from those dreaded water rings with absorbent wine cork coasters. Using a piece of craft wood as a base, attach the corks in an alternating pattern with hot glue.

Short on chip clips? Keep your salty snacks fresh with wine corks. Use a knife to slice about halfway through a cork vertically, then slip the cork over your folded chip bag to keep it closed.
