Inscriptions for plants at home or in the garden
If we continue the theme of plants, then it is very easy to make inscriptions for plants from wine corks in your home or in a small garden. For the home, you can cut out circles from corks, write letters on them, put them on toothpicks and stick them in a flower pot. For the garden - we make it from solid corks, attach it to twigs, write inscriptions, put it on the beds.
Candlestick from wine corks
A beautiful idea is to decorate a glass candlestick with wine corks from the outside or from the inside. Outside - it's easy, just glue the glass with corks. From the inside - you will have to try, since it is important for us that the flame does not touch the candle (corks burn very well). To do this, we use two glass flasks placed one inside the other. In a small one, a candle will burn, and we fill the empty space between them with traffic jams. And the simplest thing is to pour corks into a glass vase, and put a candle on top.

A huge THANK YOU to acquaintances and friends who did not spare the cork and did not spare their stomach in new year holidays))) We show ourselves ... and I'll tell you how I did it ...
We will need:
Packaging cardboard - base and bricks
Cork - frame decoration and grapes
Burlap - grape leaves
Jute twine - tendrils of grapes
Stones of peaches and/or nectarines or others... to decorate the frame, you can do without them
PVA glue - glue the base for napkins
Glue Titanium or any other epoxy - we glue cork and decorations on it
Napkins
Hoop - not necessary (but very convenient)))
Paint bronze and black (if watercolor or gouache - mix with PVA) - I have acrylic
Lacquer matte colorless (or other) - finish line
... well, and also - water, a battery and a heavy press, a brush and scissors ... and a knife - to cut grapes
And most importantly - desire.
THE BASIS
- 3 sheets of packaging cardboard (fibers along - across - along, for rigidity) glued on PVA and under a press for a week ...
How dry - we hug the base with napkins (you can use paper, a newspaper ... papier-macheshka in short))) and dry it - again under pressure ...
When everything suits - we glue the bricks - from the same packaging cardboard, glued - under the press ...
Dried up - again with a napkin on top, as soon as everything is pleasant - dry, primer (black), tint (bronze)
everything turns out very stone-hard, the main thing is not to rush and dry it.
I drilled a hole for the rope with a screwdriver, sooo strong "wall" turned out.

GRAPE
I chose a grape branch from the available napkins, pasted it on thick cardboard
Cut out, toned brown edges and rear
And according to the picture we glue the cork circles ... glued on Titanium

The cork is really very well cut and does not crumble if it is boiled for 10 minutes,
a huge THANK YOU to Olya http://stranamasterov.ru/user/34319 Olisandra for this bright idea!!!
Well, in general, the twig turned out like this, there are not enough leaves and antennae ...
LEAVES
Liana has a delightful MK on leaflets http://stranamasterov.ru/node/602293?c=favorite for which MANY THANKS to her!!!
But I did it a little differently, so I'll show you.
I felt sorry for the file, but I perfectly stretched the burlap on the hoop, PVA - battery - and you're done
I found grape leaves that were suitable in size, printed and cut them out
Veins and edges tinted with acrylic (bronze)
the paint is dry - we spray from the spray gun and form the bends of the leaves
ANTENS
We twist the twine into a ring (large curls will turn out)

dilute PVA with water, bathe this thing, wring it out and dry it on a battery
We unfold - the antennae are ready!
Do you usually throw away wine corks or collect them? If you still throw it away, you will regret it now.
They are useful for various crafts. To get inspired for such a thing, look at the photo of what you can do with your own hands from a large number traffic jams.
For example, completely close the wall in the kitchen with them, as in this photo:
If you don't have that much material, let's do something simpler. For example, a photo frame.
A watch decorated with handmade bottle caps will be a wonderful souvenir for friends and family.
Now let's get down to business. First we have to make decorative balls and coasters for cups.
Lesson 1
To build such cute balls, prepare:
- Wine corks (the more, the better, because it is very difficult to stop!)
- Styrofoam balls (you can find something suitable among Christmas tree balls)
- Brown paint, such as acrylic or gouache
- Glue "Moment" or similar (PVA or silicate will not work)
So, let's get to work.
Step 1. Paint the balls with light or dark brown paint and let them dry thoroughly. We do this in order to White color did not shine through.
If your ball is dark in color, there is no need to recolor it. You can paint the balls in the evening, and then they will have a whole night to dry.
Hang them up like in the photo and they will dry evenly.
Step 2. Now let's start gluing the wine corks. Wine corks are best glued to foam using a special gun.
But if you do not have it, do not be upset - you can glue it with "Moment". We start work along the "equator" of the ball (as in the photo), and then we fill in both halves of it.
You will have to take breaks so that the glue grabs well. Some corks may need to be cut a little with a cone to fit into a narrow space.
Now let's dry our crafts thoroughly, and think over additional decor. For example, we will tint the ends of the corks with bright paint, as in our photo.
That's it, all that's left to find appropriate place inside our kitchen.
What if there aren't enough wine corks? Find at least 6 pieces, and you can make a nice coaster for cups and give, for example, to your beloved friend: a gift is especially expensive if it is made by yourself. So, let's begin.
Lesson 2. Coasters - coasters for a glass.
- Wine corks (1 coaster will take about 6 corks)
- cork sheet
- A cutting board or something you can safely cut on without worrying about the countertop.
- Rough sandpaper
Stages of work (photo will help to do everything right):
- Cut the corks in half lengthwise. Try to cut exactly in the center, otherwise the surface of the stand will be uneven.
- We cut out the base from the cork sheet, it can be round or square, to your taste.
- Glue the cork halves to the base.
- Carefully cut off all protruding pieces along the contour of the base.
- Smooth out the edges with sandpaper.
- We love the result!
In the photo below - other options for making coasters:
And another simple, but painstaking version of crafts.
Lesson h. Panel.
If you have old posters that are already tired, you can make a panel out of them. Here is this:
- For this craft, you need to pick up posters with a high frame, take out a photo from them.
2. Paint the background of the frame in a dark (in our case, black) color.
3. Now we put the corks. This is not a quick business, they need to be selected according to size.
4. Now you can proceed to neat gluing. This can be done with a pistol, but the usual "Moment" will do.
Ready! Now you can hang a panel on the wall or give a gift to a friend!
What else can you do with wine corks? Watch two videos.
In the first - very easy master class on making a wreath for the kitchen from wine corks.

Content
If you have accumulated wine corks that are a pity to throw away, but you don’t know how to use them, this master class is for you. Today we will tell you what surprisingly simple, but interesting, and most importantly, useful things you can do yourself from wine corks.
Seal
Pick up a pencil and draw on one end of the cork interesting character, letter or some animal. Using a penknife, cut out the image so that it protrudes above the main part. Your personal seal has turned out, having painted it, you can make prints on letters, postcards, walls, decorate them, or play with children.
Volumetric letters and paintings
To make large letters in 3-D format, you need a lot of traffic jams. You can make one or two letters - monograms, or you can write whole phrases. Without sufficient experience, it will be difficult to do beautiful picture, but everyone can give a heart from traffic jams to loved ones. Such letters and pictures will become a stylish, exclusive wall decor in the room or kitchen of your apartment. Another use for them is the backdrop for a home photo shoot.
Cabinet handles
A broken cabinet handle won't be a problem if you have a wine cork and a screw. Every man and even a woman can slightly sharpen the cork and screw it to the door. It will be temporary until the acquisition of a suitable new handle or permanent, which has become part of the interior, you decide. By the way, if it harmoniously fits into the environment, you can replace the rest of the whole furniture handles with wine cork handles - this way you will add a special charm to your apartment.
Chandelier
To make it, we need at first glance incompatible things: a grate from an old fan, wine corks and twine. Having strengthened the socket of a lamp suitable for the lamp in the fan grille, and, hanging it on different levels using twine wine corks, you will get designer chandelier own production. By changing the height of the suspension of plugs and their number, create new masterpieces.
Framework
Boring frames for photos and pictures can be revived. To do this, we will cut them: into halves or several plates along or into circles across the cork and stick them on the frame. You can also use whole corks, gluing them horizontally, vertically, herringbone or placing them on the base. It all depends on the effect that you want to get with this or that arrangement.
cat toy
By tying or sewing a cork cover from dense fabric, you can make a toy for your purring pet. He will love the new object for playing and sharpening his claws. You can make a mouse out of cork by pulling a fur cover over it with a tail and ears sewn or tied. Perhaps the new toy will become more interesting for the cat than shoes and furniture, it will protect them from damage by sharp teeth and claws.
Holders
Holders for business cards, cards, notes, names of those invited to the celebration can be made in two ways. In the first case, a wire twisted from one end in a circle is screwed into the cork or, decorated with beads, beautifully wrapped around with wire. In the second case, on the corks fastened together with an elegant ribbon or elastic band, a horizontal incision is made into which the desired piece of paper is inserted.
Candlestick
An atmosphere of warmth, comfort and romance can be created with the help of two glass containers or glasses, one of which is two to three times larger than the other, and wine corks, poured into the space between the containers. To give desired shade romantic setting, use scented candles.
Hanger
AT country house or in the country, a hanger made of a planed board and wine corks attached to it with a screwdriver would be appropriate. It is quite simple to manufacture and interesting from a design point of view. Having processed the board with stain, drying oil, varnish, you can give it the desired color.
Giraffe
To make this interesting animal - interior decoration, we take a wire and make a frame, glue it with several layers of paper and glue corks on top of the paper, pressing tightly against each other and the base. We do not regret the glue, otherwise everything will fall apart.
Panel for notes
Often you need to leave some information to loved ones. We write notes, phone numbers and leave it all in a convenient, accessible place for review. By creating a special panel of wine corks, the problem of the placement of all these little things will be solved. Now, using needles and pins, we fix the sheets of paper. We and our loved ones will always be aware of the latest events in the life of the family, and it will not be difficult to find a phone number that you suddenly need.
Seedling tags
Housewives sow several types of plants in boxes with seedlings, not to mention different varieties of the same vegetable or flower, and then they forget what exactly and where they sowed. There will be no confusion if you write the name of the sown crop on the cork. Drill a small hole, stick a stick in it and place this mark in the seedling box.
Canape skewers
For the manufacture of skewers, we need wine corks cut into circles, toothpicks and elements of their decoration: beads, ribbons, twine or thread in several additions, fabric for hearts, glue and everything that you can use to revive the skewers. Your guests will appreciate your creativity.
fridge magnets
For magnets, we need a magnetic strip, glue and a wine cork sawn in half lengthwise. With its help, you can attach a list of proposed purchases, family notes, photos, necessary phones and other important information to the refrigerator.
Hot stand
With a glue gun sandpaper, a satin ribbon, a knife and several dozen wine corks, it will not be difficult to create a hot stand yourself, because it is always more pleasant to use something that is made by yourself than a purchased similar thing. We cut the corks in half, give them a cylindrical shape, clean the sides and glue them together in the form of a circle, hexagon or octahedron. We glue the outer edge of the stand with satin or other decorative ribbon, braid. If you make a loop from the same finishing tape on the side, the hot stand will become even more functional. You can use corks without cutting them in half, then the hot stand will simply be twice as high.
bird house
We cut out the bottom, walls and roof of the house from thick cardboard. We glue the walls with whole or cut along wine corks, and cover the roof with a “tile” of circles cut across the corks. It turned out very beautiful dwelling for birds - a real fabulous house. Do not forget in the process of working about the round inlet and a small stick on which the birds stand before they get into the house. By making such a beautiful birdhouse, parents can tell a lot of interesting things about birds and their habits to children, and at the same time teach the younger generation to take care of wildlife.
Decorations
Here you can turn into reality all the most interesting ideas and fill in the missing elements of jewelry. Jewelry corks can be used whole, for example, to create a pendant, or cut lengthwise and across to make earrings. Beads, beads, wire, fishing line, paints, fabric and threads with a hook for tying corks will become your faithful assistants in creating an exclusive collection of jewelry.
Jewelry storage organizer
Fashionistas with a large arsenal of jewelry know firsthand how hard it is to keep them in order, allowing you to quickly find them. the right thing. Beads get confused in caskets, and choosing the right earrings is also a difficult process. Keeping all the jewelry in plain sight becomes especially relevant in a hurry. Simplify your storage and selection task necessary jewelry it is possible with the help of a frame, on the bottom of which corks are glued in whole, in halves, in circles or in combination. By making a few hooks, you organize the storage of beads and bracelets, and earrings can be stuck directly into the wood or between corks.
tabletop
Such a spectacular and original countertop is easy to make yourself by gluing wine corks to an existing countertop. liquid nails and varnished in a matching color. It will be difficult to keep the original appearance of such a countertop for a long time, but it looks gorgeous!
keyrings
Stock up on accessories for key rings in a specialized store and let your imagination run wild. Make and beautifully sign key rings for the whole family and various frequently lost keys. You can decorate them any way you like.
flower pots
Miniature flower pots are suitable for small plants or seedlings that will need to be transplanted over time. Hollow out a hole in the cork, fill it with earth and plant a tiny plant. To prevent the pots from tipping over, a magnetic tape is glued to the cork and fixed, for example, to the side surface of the refrigerator, closer to the window.
New Year decoration
All kinds of Christmas trees, Christmas toys and deer figurines can also be made using wine corks. This will require glue, paper, paints and decorative elements. A fairly tall Christmas tree can be made using a cone-shaped base, on which paper is glued, and corks with a round base on top of it to make needles.
Vase
gluing together side surfaces traffic jams with each other, you can create such interesting vase for storing vegetables, fruits and bread. In order for her to get the same shape as in the photo, work should start from the bottom, gradually forming the edges of the vase. In conclusion, we cover it with a non-toxic varnish. For more security food products put on an openwork napkin.
boats
Glue two or three corks together, use a toothpick and paper to build a sail and send the boat to conquer the water. Children will enjoy the process of such a simple and interesting shipbuilding, and boats made by different children can compete in beauty, stability and speed.
decorative ball
We take the foam as a basis and cut a ball out of it. Using paint and a brush, color it in Brown color, and also color brown one of the bottoms of each cork. Using glue gun, glue them on the ball and get a new interior decoration, which, in harmony with the books, will take its place on the bookshelf. It can also be hung, if you attach a loop before sticking the corks.
Rugs
The wood from which wine corks are made is a durable material, so a rug made of them will last you a long time. It can be made from whole corks glued together and placed in a metal pallet, or from halves of corks cut along, glued to a rubberized base. The first option is more acceptable for the hallway, and the second - for the bathroom.
Pen
Drill a through hole in several plugs, and in the one that will be the top one in the handle,
leave the wood at one end without drilling to the end. Insert ink or gel paste of suitable diameter into the resulting channel and use the new pen, surprising everyone around.
Filament curtains
For creating filament curtains you will need fishing line (or rope) and, depending on your design solution, multi-colored beads or paints and a knife. You can fix the resulting threads to a horizontal thread attached to a planed, varnished board, which is attached to the wall or in any other way that suits you.
Shade
Glue wine corks to the plastic lampshade, leaving gaps between them. Light will mysteriously penetrate through them and create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the room.
If you want to decorate your home with cork products, but you can’t collect the right amount of them, don’t be discouraged - you can buy them in specialized stores with interior goods or in online stores.
