A friend is collecting corks (We enjoy emptying the bottles in her behalf). She has an old end table that has sentimental value for her. The table is showing its age and rather than sell or toss, she is making a design with prepainted corks in different colors. This can also serve as a trivet.

We’re reusing corks as food label holders. We slice off about 1/4 lengthwise so that it sits flat. Then we slice down 1/2 way into the middle and again just a smidgen over to make a slit along it. Then, simply print out food labels on business cards (or handwrite on the back of old business cards) and wedge them into the slit. Also handy as place card holders.

Just a heads up for those looking for corks or those looking to get rid of some in the uk – try your local scrapstore. I got a whole load from mine to make a pinboard.

If you have any you could spare, I would love to have them. They are fun to play with. My son and I like to try to make up new games with them. They are fun to collect with the many styles and printings on them. I don’t drink, and if I don’t find them at knick-knack stores, I don’t have any way to get them.

Drill them part-way down the centre and push them over any thin canes you are using as supports in the garden. (Drinking wine could save your eyesight!) I have made a jig that holds 5 or 6 corks and clamps into my vice to avoid drilling my fingers too.

Also champagn/Cava corks are good protectors or temporary handles for files and other things with sharp points.

I live in Odessa , and I am recyling all types , styles and sizes of bottle corks and also all types of metal bottle (twist off) alcohol or liquor caps . It takes years for one cork to decay , and metal caps do not decay . Except them for all restaurants ,bars ,clubs , tasting centers , home made wine stores , and indiviuals . Keep these items out of our trash cans and landfills and pass them on . I ask that you pass this on to others , so they too can help keep our trash cans and landfills free of these items . E-mail me and I will let you know where to drop off or send them . I will take all these items you have and can get .

Store them in an attractive glass vase by your wine collection, I saw a picture like that in Crate & Barrel and it was lovely.

I’ve cut a small dent in them and used them as a place to set chopsticks when serving wine and Chinese/Japanese food. If you have enough to glue together horizontally, it could also be a good spot to place hot pots.

I did some research online and found a company called Yemm & Hart Green Materials who is collecting them (only real, not the plastic ones). I’m trying to collect lots of them from office mates and will ship them to the company. Shipping should be inexpensive since they’re light. If the trial goes well, they might start paying for them. Also just learned that California Whole Foods is doing a trial collecting them from customers.
