What A Corker!?

[mlteenie]

Like Mrs mlteenie and myself, I am sure many of you partake of 'medication' of an evening to ease the day's troubles. All well and good but do you also have a drawer full of corks (particularly the plasty uns) and don't like to chuck 'em in the bin?

Surely there is a use for them beyond the Aussie fly-repelling hat? It's beaten me thus far so let's hear it from the creative EDFers!

I have made a cork notice board with some of mine. Buy a notice board then stick the corks onto the board with some glue. Works a treat!

End on or flat? Plasty too?

[Ladygooner]

Flat. Not tried with plastic ones

I'm sure you resourceful people could fashion one of these..

Well blow me! I could knock out a few of them for one of the shops - Karavan, maybe? Cheers!

[Ladygooner]

Thanks Bob - mine nearly looks as good as that!

My aunt did the same Lagygooner and wallpapered the loo with all the labels

Ladygooner,

Where did you get the board for the corks? I have tried looking for old frames and stuff but they are usually too ugly or have sides that are too deep for the corks to stand out from. Also, do you cut the corks in half first? Nero

[Ladygooner]

Nero - you buy a normal cork noticeboard with a wooden frame which has flat cork on it and then stick the wine corks on - no need to cut in half although I suppose you could if you wanted? I suppose I could post a picture of it on here if you wanted?

[Nero]

Yes pls. Nero

I bought a caterpault in Tenerife - I use the plastic corks as ammo to scare off the pesky grey squirrels from my garden. One day I hope to hit the b*stard...
