Step By Step: Put A Cork In It

STEP BY STEP: “Put a Cork In It”

Materials:

a. wine corks (lots of them)

b. picture frame (your choice)

c. wood glue

d. thumbtacks

STEP 1: Take the glass out of your frame and then put the back of the frame back on.

STEP 2: Arrange the corks inside the frame as you wish. Try different angles and directions until you find your favorite.

STEP 3: Row by row, remove the corks and put a layer of wood glue on the inside of the frame. Don’t worry, once you put the cork down, it won’t dry immediately so you can adjust the corks for a couple minutes!

STEP 4: Repeat Step 3 until all the corks are arranged to your liking inside the frame.

STEP 5: Place finished frame in a dry, safe place to dry for at least 24 hours.

STEP 6: Either hang or stand your frame on your desk, and start using your board as a real corkboard!

OPTIONAL STEPS: You can paint the outside of the frame if you’d like, but I would suggest doing this BEFORE you glue the corks!
