How to Make Cork Board From Recycled Corks

Making a cork board from recycled corks is a way to reduce waste while giving you a decoration for your home. If you collect corks from your favorite wines, you can also use your cork board creation as a memory piece to remind you of your favorite evenings. If you don't drink wine, find out if you can get corks from a restaurant or winery for your cork board project.

• 1

  Take the glass out of your frame, if your frame came with glass, and just work with the wooden frame itself.

• 2

  Arrange your corks in the frame on their sides. According to Wine Info's website, you may run into a challenge trying to nicely fit the corks into the frame. Just keep moving them around, trying longer and shorter ones in each row, until they fit nicely into your frame and create a bed of corks.

• 3

  Glue each cork individually to the frame once you have made the corks fit in it. Add a small amount of glue between the corks.

• 4

  Allow the cork board to dry about 24 hours before handing. Place a heavy object on the board during these 24 hours to help the corks adhere to one another and to the picture frame.
