How to Make a Wine Cork Trivet

Finally a use for all these corks!



 Here is my copy-cat of a Pinterest idea because I thought it was such an awesome, easy idea and I needed to share.

I started with a bunch of old corks.


and an extra large pipe clamp.


I filled the circle with corks and then screwed the clamp closed really tightly around them.



It is a very cool place for a hot pot!


I saw this on Pinterest, 
 but unfortunately the link didn't work so I don't have a source.

 You are going to love what the Pumpkin I made with it next for the Fall Season! And if that wasn't enough I made a whole batch of smaller cork pumpkins for you to see!
Thanks for the inspiration!

I hope you enjoyed this project and you'll take a look at my Amazon Shop for craft supplies I recommend. Also while you're here please sign up for the Homeroad emails on my sidebar so I can send my latest DIY post straight to you.

    Great idea. My SIL has been asking me what to do with all the corks she's collected. Now I can give her a useful and pretty suggestion.
