Ever since I was a teenager I've been meaning to make a corkboard out of used corks, but I've just never gotten around to it. I saw my friend's father make one and I was so impressed that the idea has never quite left me. Then recently, my brother-in-law made one as well and I was re-enamored with the whole idea. It makes for such a good excuse to have a glass of wine every day, doesn't it? And now after spending a minute or two on Pinterest I've found five clever ways to reuse corks. Man, I really need to start drinking more wine and you'll want to too, once you see the finished products.

I'm so inspired by these cork crafts that my head is spinning with all sorts of other possibilities. I mean how many corks do you think it would take to build myself a walk in closet?
Place card holder
These wine cork place card holders could not be simpler and yet they look so nice.
Jewelry holder
I love this idea of using wine corks on a pre-existing corkboard to make a jewelry holder. You can make your own with these simple directions.
Plant markers
How many times do you plant something and then forget what the heck it is you planted. With just a cork, skewer, and marker, you can make a plant marker.
Monogram
I love these ginormous decorative mongrams. It hadn't occured to me that I could make a wine cork monogram before.
