Cork Craft

putting your corks to  good use...

by recycling them!

((& no I'm not talking about putting them into your recycling bin -

which you should do if you’re getting rid of them though))

{{How to Make}}


Things you will NEED:

((just THREE materials))

1.) 175 Wine Corks
((don't have enough? Just ask Kathie Lee & Hoda for some!)) :)
2.) glue sticks
3.) non-adhesive shelf liner

PLUS
six tools...

Tools:
*knife
*cutting board
*scissors
*a long ruler or yardstick
*coarse sand paper



NOW just follow
5 Steps:

1.) Cut each cork in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. 

Be patient & careful so you don’t cut a finger off!

((so drinking any wine during this step is probably not a good idea))  :)

 Sand the bottoms flat if any of your cuts are jagged.

 

2.) Arrange the corks into a rectangle, flat sides down. 

Use a ruler or the lines on a cutting mat 

to make sure your configuration of corks is as close to a straight rectangle as possible. 

3.) Measure and cut the shelf liner to size with a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat.

4.) Transfer the outer rows/columns of corks to the shelf liner and glue them to the top side of the liner.

Apply a rectangle-shaped line of glue to the flat side of each cork, about 1/8 inch from the edge,

line up the cork with the edge of the mat, and press hard. 

Wipe away any glue dribbles before it hardens fully, but after it cools (so you don’t burn yourself).
5). Once your frame is in place, transfer the rest of the corks to their corresponding position on the mat. You’ll probably have to do some arranging and trading places to make all the corks fit. 

Then remove one cork at a time and glue it down. 

 

You’re done!

NOW celebrate by opening up a bottle of WINE...

 

((Hey... you got to start saving up more wine corks for our next Cork Craft!))

CHEERS!

Winesday

Day of the week, typically on Wednesday
when girlfriends get together, share a few glasses of wine
and unwind with girl time and laughter.

Let it be known, it can occur multiple times a week, if necessary,

or can be changed to another day but it will always be called Winesday.

"I had a rough day today.... Thank goodness it's Winesday!"

                                           

CHEERS!

Fun Shower Themes

It seems the typical bridal shower is a thing of the past.....now people are coming up with so many creative ideas for showers! Here are a few fun ones:

*Stock the Pantry - When you send out invitations include a cute recipe card for the guests to write their favorite recipe for the couple and attach it to a cute basket containing all non-perishable ingredients! Get creative - add other special touches, if your recipe is for your famous margaritas...add two wonderful margarita glasses...s!*Wine Tasting - This one is pretty self explanatory! Have each guest bring a favorite bottle of wine (you should find out ahead of time what kind - red, white.... the couple prefers and add that to the invitation) - also have guests add extra's - wine glasses, corkscrews, etc....

*Stock the Bar - This is a really fun one! Unlike the wine party - any type of drink is in order! Remember....a good bar needs more than just drinks - lots of accessories apply as well! hmm.....can we have one of these parties - soon? :)

*Lingerie - Each guest of course will bring lingerie for the bride! Set the mood for the party - evening is best so you can have lots of candles...and use lots of pink, red, black....

*Christmas Ornament -This is a great idea for a winter wedding! Let guests know the 'theme' the couple would love for their first tree and each guest will bring a special ornament. This can bring years of memories!

*Tea Party - These are actually becoming more popular than ever! Have each guest wear their favorite hat and gloves! Serve lots of finger foods such as scones, mini sandwiches, etc...of course serve tea in lovely cups!

These are just a few samplings....get creative and see what you can come up with!
