This might be my favorite way of repur­pos­ing used wine corks. (besides the wine cork mulch idea) Instead of using pre­dictable store bought charms, name tags or dif­fer­ent col­ored rib­bons, I used dif­fer­ent win­ery corks for my wine tags. The next time you have a party and don’t want to run out of glasses, this is the per­fect thing to have on hand. Every­one will know which glass is theirs by their wine maker. It’s also a great con­ver­sa­tion starter. Every­one can chat about their par­tic­u­lar win­ery and if and what they drink from there, etc…

  • I think mak­ing a dozen of these and putting them in a clear bag or dec­o­ra­tive chi­nese take out box would be a great gift! Think host­ess gift, thank you, co-workers, neigh­bors, mother-in-law, boss, brother, teacher, me…well you get the idea.
  • If you plan on doing a trip to the wine coun­try, you could col­lect all your dif­fer­ent corks and make tags from them. Then when you use them, you’ll think back on the good mem­o­ries you had on that spe­cial vacation

    Thanks! Oh no on the markers…If you ever are in a crunch and need to write on glasses I’ve found Sharpies and White Out pens stay put but still clean off easily.

    I LOVE this!!! We just had a wine tast­ing party and we just wrote our names with dry erase mark­ers — they came off. This is so much bet­ter! I will be try­ing this out next time! Thanks!!

    Dar­ling!  I love projects from recy­cled wine corks.  I made a menu board this sum­mer and it’s one of my favorite pieces in the house.  The wine mark­ers are so cre­ative.  I love it.

    You know, I was just search­ing google for inspi­ra­tion for my {way too many} corks.  Think I just found a winner!
