My Dad had given me these interesting older frames quite awhile ago.
Wine Corks- A big thanks to Aunt Gayle for that fun contribution. :)
Measure and cut a piece of sturdy cardboard to put in the back of the frame.
I looked at this like it was a puzzle.
I fit all the corks inside the frame, before I used any glue.
You want them as close together as possible.
I wanted them to fit just perfect.
Then I used my hot glue gun to start gluing in each cork one at a time.
Always being careful not to burn my fingers.
Lets face it, the glue gun & I don't have the best history. Not cool!
This is what it looks like.
I have only glued in about half of the corks.
That's why I'm holding it at an angle.
I couldn't wait to share this with all of you.
I think I will add a coat of clear Modge Podge over the top when I'm done.
I promise to take a picture of it hanging when I'm done.
wow! cool idea. (Did you go through all those bottles to get the corks?? Must have been a hellluva weekend) xo
ReplyDeleteBeck- Thanks for stopping by. Friends and Family always think of saving corks for me. The cheaper wines are usually mine. LOL
ReplyDeletei love this idea. i saw something similar where someone had taken a coffee table that had sort of like a display area with a glass overlay and they filled the whole area with corks. i think its so interesting to look at and pleasing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteThat is very neat! Looks like your issues with hot glue thankfully haven't stopped you from making these crafty, chic things!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cool! So "bistro", you know? I wanna see it hanging! :D
Tammie- The coffee table idea sounds awesome! I will have to google it.
ReplyDeleteCT- You just made me smile! Thanks for the great compliments. :) I will for sure put up a pic when I finish it. :)
Beki- Thanks! Now if I can just finish it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow so nifty and creative. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
