New Year holidays are over. After them there were not only pleasant memories, but also a good part of wine corks. Do not rush to throw them away, today we will tell you how to make them useful and beautiful decor. We continue to tell how ordinary and seemingly unnecessary items can be turned into comfortable and practical decorative elements. We collected 25 interesting ideas that are easy to implement at home, even without being a professional decorator. Today we are talking about wine stoppers, which are a lot left after the New Year celebrations.
Stands under the hot
One of the most practical options is to make fromwine stoppers coasters under the hot. They are always needed, there is never a lot of such good. In addition, the cork is perfect for this, since it does not deteriorate from hot and can protect your table from unwanted temperature effects. You can make such coasters with your own hands by simply gluing them together. For a change, you can cut the wine cork into equal parts and connect them together using special glue. There is another option, for it you need a base, on which you will then need to fix the plugs. To do this, you can take photo frames that are the same style or color, with a beautiful design. Then cut the plugs lengthwise in two. After that, using glue, stick the halves of the corks tightly to the backing. Such coasters look very creative and interesting. It is good to use them both under hot tea cups and under wine glasses. 
Rugs, panels, kitchen aprons
It turns out that wine corks can do goodservice, and also add a touch of creativity to the interior. A striking example of this is wall panels made of corks. Some craftsmen lay out whole kitchen aprons from them and decorate the walls with them. Of course, for these purposes, you need a lot of traffic jams, but if you do not throw them away, but define some box for them (for example, from under the shoes) and put them there, then sooner or later you will collect a certain number of traffic jams. So you can independently make from them, if not a whole wall, then at least a beautiful panel. For a heightened effect, you can cover it with a clear pearlescent 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 pleasing. 
Organizers and note boards
Wine corks are a versatile option for the mosta variety of handicrafts, useful and convenient. For example, they make excellent organizers for storing jewelry and jewelry. To make such an item, you will need a baguette frame with a backing, small hooks and glue. Make the organizer the same way as the coasters for cups and wine glasses. When it comes to design, here you can show your creative nature to the fullest. In addition to organizers, it is easy to make a note board from wine cork and hang it in the hallway or living room. Attach family photos to it using pins, choose color options for a change. On the same board, you can leave messages to your family, pinning notes on it. Nadezhda Mits'kova, decorator, graduate of the "Details" school: - The use of wine corks as an interior decoration can be quite varied. From such a seemingly simple material, you can create a lot of things, not only decorative, but also useful in your home. It can be just coasters for cups and hot dishes, various panels, volumetric letters and numbers. An interesting and rather simple idea of using corks is a note board. Glue halves or whole corks onto a substrate of the required size. You can also use a photo frame as a base. Using buttons or pins, you can easily pin various notes, photos and reminders on such a board. Continuing the theme of the notes: it is very easy to make fridge magnets from corks. In this case, you will need magnetic tape or flat souvenir magnets. The plugs can be cut lengthwise or crosswise and a magnet can be glued to them. In my opinion, this option is visually more aesthetic than souvenir products that have already set the teeth on edge. 
Summer decor
If your interior is designed in a certain style,with which wine corks cannot be combined in any way, then why not try to make interesting decor items for a summer residence. For example, arrange flower pots or make an interior curtain. Some go further than decor items and create whole chairs from cork. It looks very unusual. Our opinion: - You can also make very attractive birdhouses from cork for a summer residence. Just remember to paint them with varnish so that the house will delight the birds in your garden longer. 
For the soul
There are people who constantly love something.tinkering. In their hands, even an ordinary cork turns into a stylish piece of decor. It allows you to create interesting compositions in the form of hearts, letters and numbers, funny animals. In order to make crafts from corks with your own hands, you do not need to be a professional, take courses in decorating art or be a craftsman. You just need to have the starting material (cork, glue, stationery knife) and a good mood. The decor, in which there will be a piece of your soul, will become a true decoration of the interior. Olga Savchenko, interior designer: - The corks left after the New Year can be easily used as a decoration. The easiest way: to collect in a wide transparent vase and use as a candlestick. In combination with any glass object, the cork will look quite advantageous as a simple decoration - between the glass tabletops of the table, in glasses. The decor can be diluted with artificial snow or any other contrasting filler.
