DIY Wine Cork Message Board
Supplies needed:
Wood tray (found in craft stores)
Paint (optional)
60-100 wine corks
Hot glue gun/Glue sticks
Picture hanging hardware
Push Pins
Directions:
1. If your tray is raw wood, or needs to be painted, this is your first step. Paint the entire tray until excellent coverage is achieved, but don’t worry about painting the bottom of the tray, as this will be hung against the wall.
2. Once your tray is dry, it’s time to hot glue the wine corks in. This is the hard part! Spend the time arranging your wine corks in the tray until they all fit nicely, you have no gaps, and you have achieved the design you like. If needed, take a sharp knife and cut a cork or two into slices to fill in any gaps.
3. Once you’re happy with how the corks look, begin hot gluing them down. Only remove a few at a time, that way you don’t forget how you had originally laid them out.
4. Hot glue your picture hanger(s) to the back of your tray.
5. You’re all done! Put your push pins in and enjoy!
