Wine Cork Wreath

I looooove collecting wine corks.  I usually display them in a pretty vase on the bookshelf, much to my husband's dismay.  :)  I put the corks to good use last year and made a Christmas ornament.  This year, I made a wreath!

Supplies needed:
glue gun & glue
wine corks (A LOT!)
styrofoam wreath
ribbon

I'm definitely going to make this wreath again (maybe for a lucky sister or friend!?). Lessons learned:  Next time, I will wrap the wreath with ribbon before gluing the corks, to make the spaces in between the corks less noticeable.  Also, I'm going to buy a thicker ribbon, possibly in a deep red color, to hang the wreath.  FYI, have a knife on hand in case you have to cut a cork or two in order to make them fit!

Well now this is rather handy.

I am trying to be a better reduce, reuse, recycler.  Hmm..isn't that a song from the Curious George movie soundtrack?  Anyhoo, I came up with a good use for our old coffee cans.  Seeing as we go through them quickly enough!  Who me?  Drink coffee while pregnant?  Say it ain't so!

p.s.--Why won't blogger let me rotate my pictures anymore?
