Wine Cork Tag Tutorial

 

    

                  Supplies

  1. scis­sors to cut wire
  2. jew­elry pliers
  3. wire with hole at tip (see photos)
  4. twine or wine tag clips (a.k.a. ear­ring rings)
  5. nee­dle or safety pin
  6. old wine corks (no two can be the same)

It’s very easy and I’ve pro­vided a step by step with pho­tos below. You first need to make a hole in the cork with a nee­dle or safety pin. Then you take your wire that has been cut down as seen in pho­tographs and insert it into the pre-poke hole with your jew­elry pli­ers. From there if you’re using twine you just feed it through the hole and tie/cut around your wine glass. If you’re going to use the ear­ring rings for you holder then you just put it on the ring and fas­ten. I think the twine is more rus­tic and cool look­ing but it’s harder since you have to cut and re-tie every time you use them. The ear­ring method is how typ­i­cal wine tags are made and sold since you can take them off and on easily.

    I see what you’re say­ing, but because the fit is so tight, it doesn’t fall out. In fact you have to use pli­ers to get it out. Hope that helps.

    i don’t under­stand what keeps the wire with eye on the end of it from slip­ping right out of the cork.  the one end with the eye has the twine, but the other end with­out eye… ???  wouldn’t that just come right out?
