Excuses to Drink Wine





Like drinking WINE? Know someone who likes drinking CORKED beverages? Well, don't be wasteful... here are a few ways to craft with empty bottles and corks. This morning I tried a cork stamp, which only requires 1 cork... but if you feel like drinking a few more bottles, then why not try a wreath! http://www.handmadeology.com/the-many-uses-for-recycled-cork-how-to-make-a-cork-wreath/ And don't get caught with out a light... These crafters are brilliant! http://ecossentials.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/make-a-new-lamp-out-of-anything/ NOTE: PLEASE DON'T CHOP YOUR FINGERS OFF TRYING TO CARVE CORK STAMPS WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE. I totally used house hold utensils, but i can assure you... Santa will not leave you a new set of fingers in your stocking(that would be a little creepy!)

  1. that would be extremely creepy. Although Drew could use his two front teeth and an incisor in his stocking.

    cute idea but what did you use as "ink"?

  2. Just for the sake of not getting off the couch(we've been sick here), i used some of the girls markers that were laying around. But the local craft stores sell some awesome marker brushes made for stamping!
