Materials

Instructions

  • Set some wine corks in a bowl of water.
  • Microwave on high for 30 secs to 1 minute.
  • Dry off the corks and then slice them about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Decorate each cork slice with markers, paint, stamps etc.
  • Cut a small piece of wire about1/2 inch long.
  • Use pliers to make a loop at one end of the wire.
  • Stick the straight end into the side of the cork slice.
  • Cut another piece of wire about 1.5 - 2 inches long.
  • Wrap it around another cork to give it a round shape.
  • Use the pliers to create a loop on one of the ends.
  • On the other end use the pliers to turn back the end leaving it open to latch onto the loop.
  • Thread the large wire ring through the small loop in the cork slice.
  • To use: slide the wire loop around the stem of a wine glass and connect the ends to keep it in place.

Notes

For extra permanence, you could add a little glue to the post end of the wire piece you push into the side of the cork slice to make sure it never comes out.
