Eco Craft: wine cork tacks

Make Your Own Wine Cork Tacks
Check out this fun idea I had to reuse wine corks as thumbtacks!
What you need:
- drill
- glue
- thumbtacks
- hand saw, optional
Choose a drill bit that is close to the size of your thumbtack and start drilling. You only want to drill deep enough for the head of your thumbtack to slide into the cork. Try comparing the length of the tack, to the length of your bit & see where to stop. Slightly rotating the drill bit in circles will help remove the cork pieces & increase the hole in size for a better fit, if needed. You might want to practice on a cork to get a feel for drilling.
Place small amouont of glue in the hole & then push in thumbtack. Let dry 24 hours. We use craft glue & clear thumbtacks.
