How cork is made

An illustrated guide to the cork production process
It all starts in the forest. Cork oaks are harvested every nine years, once they reach maturity. It doesn't harm the tree, and the cork bark regrows. Most cork forests are in Portugal and Spain.
Wine Cork Letter

Decorative typography with wine cork
Don’t be shy about the size of the letter, go big! Smaller letters end up being overwhelmed by the corks, plus bigger letters leave more room to fit the corks naturally. And please, whatever you do, don’t cut the corks to make them fit. It just looks tacky. Either leave some of the wood exposed or go over the edge a little. I experienced both of those scenarios in this project and still love the end results.Stamped Flower Craft with Corks and Buttons

The spring is here!
Good-bye, winter! Who’s ready for some cheery spring craft ideas? I sure am, and I’m so excited to share this one with you! The hooligans are off for spring break this week, and I’ve been playing around with some flower craft ideas that I’ve had in my head for a while now. I thought it would be fun to stamp some spring flowers with wine corks and paint! I intended to simplytest my idea, but it was so fun, and the flowers looked so sweet, I couldn’t stop stamping! Before I knew it, I was elbow deep in colourful, stamped paper flowers! Hmmm, what to do with all of them?10 DIY Wine Cork Projects
