Another Decorating Idea

Before you throw anything (other than things that can rot) away, think about how you could reuse it. Something I started doing a while ago was saving all of my wine corks. Instead of tossing them, I kept every single one in a vase on my kitchen table. Now, the vase is completely full (with the help of my friends) and it is a really great decorative piece in my house.

There are so many things you can do with corks! Here are a few more ideas...
- Fill a shadow box with corks. I noticed it in a pottery barn catalog.
- Make a mini bulletin board with corks. Find a cute frame or tray and fill it in with corks! All you need to add are push pins!
- Make a trivet to place your hot pots and pans on http://www.wineintro.com/products/corks/trivet.html

Comment if you have any great cork ideas. I'd love to hear them!
