Ingredients

• Empty tin can washed and dried. This is a larger soup can or a can for pie filling or beans/tomatoes/vegetables.
• High-temperature hot glue and glue gun
• Natural corks vs. synthetic
• Wax paper

Instructions

• Cover a flat surface with wax paper to protect it.
• Place your can onto the surface and place corks around the can making sure they fit. Leaving your can upright, place the hot glue on the cork and press onto the can, keeping the bottom row of corks flat to the bottom of the table. Let the glue set a bit. Flip the can over and add hot glue where the corks meet. Let set to harden.
• Return the can to the upright position and continue to place corks, on top of the bottom row. Add hot glue to the cork and press firmly onto the can. Continue until the entire can is covered.
• Once at the top of the can, you may have about 1/4' to 1/2" of the can to work with. Add glue to the top of the can and press corks firmly onto the can. Let set so the glue can harden.
• Fill your can with your favorite kitchen utensils, flowers, plants, or pencils.

If you’re not a big wine drinker but want to create a wine cork craft for a friend, you can purchase corks on eBay. Heck, if you are a wine drinker and not a big crafter, go ahead and sell corks on eBay! We all have a purpose, my friends.

This craft is a fun idea for girls’ night in. Start a collection over the course of wine nights together. Once you collect enough corks, get everyone crafting.
