Wine Cork Craft Project

April 18, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

We drink wine in our house. As a result, we have bowls and bowls of wine corks. Only so many can be used as decorations. 

I decided to put a few to work this spring as garden markers. This project is simple and quick. 
All you need are corks, wooden skewers and a sharpie marker. 

Secure the skewer to the bottom of the cork. The skewer is sharp so it can easily be screwed in. Cut or break the skewer to the size desired. Label the cork with the plant and stake it in the ground.

That’s it!
