I started placing the corks the way I wanted on a piece of cardboard, and once I was happy with how it looked, I just glued the corks in place. After the corks were dry I cut the outline. But I think, it would have been much easier for me to first cut the cardboard first and then glue the corks after that. The edges would be much cleaner that way. Once the corks are already glued, it is little difficult to cut the edges. I guess you learn as you go. The 'B' letter was the first letter I made. For the next letter, which is when I have enough corks for the next letter that is, I will remember to first cut the cardboard out and then glue the corks.
For this project, you'll need:
------------------------------------
-Wine Corks
- Cardboard
- Glue
Here are few of the pictures I took while I was working on this project
And here's after I cut the cardboard out.

DeleteI love cork letters, I did E.A.T. for my kitchen
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I started by thinking I'll do a name, but now I realize, I have to drink a whole lot of wine for that...:) will have to think of something else. I love the idea of making EAT. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
DeleteWhat kind of glue do you use?? Could this be done on wood??

I used Elmers glue, Nancy. I am sure it can be done on wood too.
DeleteThis is so cute! I have made a moss letter and wood letters, never using wine corks. I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you Emily! I love the moss letters too. I guess I have to make that one of these days...:)

DeleteBeautiful. We got a big metal letter, two Christmases ago, that you can fill with corks but even though we have everyone contribute the corks it's not even half full yet. I guess we're more of a beer drinkers, lol. Thanks for linking up at Thursday Favorite Things. Can't wait to see what you'll share next week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jas. Even I wanted to make a word, but so far has gotten to the first letter. Will see how long it takes to make the word..:)
