Hot pads
One of the most practical options is to make it fromwine cork coasters. They are always needed, there is no such thing as too much of this stuff. In addition, a cork is perfect for this, since it does not deteriorate from heat and can protect your table from unwanted temperature effects. You can make such coasters with your own hands by simply gluing them together. For variety, you can cut a wine cork into equal parts and connect them together using special glue. There is another option, for it you will need a base, to which you will then need to attach the corks. For this, you can take photo frames of the same style or color, with a beautiful design. Then cut the corks lengthwise into two parts. After that, using glue, tightly attach the halves of the corks to the backing. Such coasters look very creative and interesting. They are good to use both for cups of hot tea and for wine glasses.
Rugs, panels, kitchen aprons
It turns out that wine corks can be usefulgood service, and also bring a touch of creativity to the interior. A striking example of this is wall panels made of corks. Some craftsmen lay out entire kitchen aprons from them and cover the walls with them. Of course, for these purposes you need a lot of corks, but if you do not throw them away, but determine some box for them (for example, from under shoes) and put them there, then sooner or later you will collect a certain number of corks. So you can independently make from them, if not an entire wall, then at least a beautiful panel. For greater effect, you can cover it with transparent mother-of-pearl varnish, which is usually used for wallpaper. Our opinion: - If your walls do not need additional decor, then make a small rug. Then you can place it in the hallway or in the bathroom - beautiful and practical. In addition, cork is pleasant to the touch, environmentally friendly and aesthetically attractive.
Organizers and memo boards
Wine corks are a versatile option for the mostvarious crafts, useful and convenient. For example, they make excellent organizers for storing jewelry and ornaments. To make such an item, you will need a baguette frame with a backing, small hooks and glue. Make the organizer using the same principle as coasters for cups and wine glasses. As for the design, here you can show your creative nature to the fullest. In addition to organizers, you can easily make a note board from a wine cork and hang it in the hallway or living room. Attach family photos to it using stationery pins, choose colored options for variety. You can also leave messages to your family on this board by attaching notes to it. Nadezhda Mitskaya, decorator, graduate of the "Details" school: - The use of wine corks as interior decor can be quite diverse. From such a seemingly simple material, you can create a lot of things, not only decorative, but also useful in your home. These can be simple coasters for cups and hot dishes, various panels, three-dimensional letters and numbers. An interesting and fairly easy to implement idea for using corks is a note board. Glue halves or whole corks to a backing of the required size. You can also use a photo frame as a base. You can easily attach various notes, photos and reminders to such a board with buttons or pins. Continuing with the topic of notes: it is very easy to make refrigerator magnets from corks. In this case, you will need magnetic tape or flat souvenir magnets. The corks can be cut lengthwise or crosswise and a magnet can be glued to them. In my opinion, this option is visually more aesthetic than the already boring souvenir products.
Countryside decor
If your interior is designed in a certain stylestyle, with which wine corks do not go at all, then why not try to make interesting decorative items for the dacha. For example, decorate flower pots or make an interior curtain. Some go further than decorative items and create entire chairs from corks. It looks very unusual. Our opinion: - And for the dacha, you can also make very attractive birdhouses from cork. Just do not forget to varnish them so that the house will delight the birds in your garden longer.

You only need to have the source material (corks, glue, a stationery knife) and a good mood. The decor, which will contain a piece of your soul, will become a true decoration of the interior.
