Today's Crafty-ness

So, today I should have been doing laundry and studying for either one of two tests I have this week.

But of course, the DIY bug bit again, thanks to a package arriving at my house this afternoon.

The package contained about 150 wine corks, which I used to make this:

Its a trivet for pots and pans, and it was SO easy that I made two of them (this one turned out better) in about 20 minutes!

Here's how:

Get out all your non-synthetic wine corks. 

Heat up your hot glue gun.

Grab that $1 wooden frame that has been collecting dust in your craft supplies pile and go to work!

I laid out the corks to make sure I could get the right pattern/fit because corks slightly vary in size.

And then I glued them down.

 The End!
