Wine corks are just as useful as the bottles they close! They’re made from tree bark, so they’re sturdy enough to withstand aging. But, their size is tiny enough to be assembled into many things, perfect for creating a lot of DIY projects.
This list celebrates that versatility which sparks many DIY ideas, ranging from something you can use around the house to intricate-looking pieces you can totally showoff. Get your corks ready because we just know you’ll do at least 3 of the things we’ve put in here!

A Bath Mat
Corks don’t allow moisture to pass through. This makes them great for a bathroom mat. They’re thick; they absorb shock and are very resilient. They can even stay in place to avoid slipping accidents. What more could you ask for from a humble mat?

The DIY tutorial even offers a formula (that’s right math) that you can follow to get the correct number of corks for your backsplash. So, if you’re a dedicated wine lover, then this is a project you really can’t miss out on.
