Cork-aholic

Yes, it's true, I love corks. I love their texture. I love their color. I love their wine stains. I love their branding.  I love corks.

As you can imagine, with a love as passionate as mine, our cork collection is getting a little out of control.  Last night while waiting for some paint to dry, some string to harden, and some stain to darken, I made a spur of the moment decision to tackle some cork art.

I may be so bold to say I love corks even more when they are heart-shaped.  Now, to just figure out how to hang it on the wall...

    This is so pretty! My sister collects her wine corks so I'm going to send this to her as an idea to use them!

    Lovely idea! My husband and I LOVE wine and I have a nice little collection of corks just sitting in my pantry waiting to be turned into something awesome like this!

    I love this! I have a collection of corks that I couldn't toss, just because I like the way they look. This is perfect :)

    Love it! Very cute. I just made something from corks recently too. :) They are such easy, little things by which we can remember good times.

    Well, hello! Just found you over at Your Whims Wednesday--and so glad I did! Thank you for the inspiration! Our entry-way could use a little corky-love, so this project is definitely on my to-do list for the weekend.

    I have a bag of a zillion corks and I'm always looking for fun ways to use them. I made a cork board with an old window here:

    I love the heart idea - I may have to steal it. :o)

    That's fantastic! I made a cork board once too - just used as many corks as I could find and glued them onto a corkboard. Your projects here are great by the way!!
