Wine Cork Magnets

 I was walking around Ben Franklin today, looking for inspiration. I saw magnets. The first idea that popped into my  head was to make wine cork magnets! ( I have a box filled with used corks, and I had been thinking about what to do with them for some time.)



This project is SO very easy. All you need are corks, magnets, and a hot glue gun. ( and other decorative items if you choose)

Choose some wine corks.


Glue the magnets on them.  I added some twine for a simplisic effect. I thought about more decorating, but thought they looked good simple.







Here are some of the Cork Magnets holding up a photo of my grandmother and her sister.

  4. Stopping by from Somewhat Simple. Wow, great use for corks! I always save mine thinking I'll do something with them, but they always end up sitting in a glass piece. I think I'll make a few of these! Thanks for sharing!
