These tips are for all the wine drinkers (like me). Next time you finish a bottle think about re-using the cork instead of throwing it away. Here are some great ideas. Thanks Real Simple magazine!
•Make a compact sewing kit with a cork: Just stick in needles and pings and wrap it with a few lengths of thread.
• Pamper your floors with cork: Slice a cork into disks and glue one to each foot of heavy or often moved furniture.
• Marry pairs of earrings by sticking the posts into a cork to keep them together.
• Cap an X-acto knife before tossing it into a drawer.
• Get a blaze crackling faster: Keep corks in rubbing alcohol in sealed jar (store away from the fireplace). Just before lighting the fire, toss a few in under the kindling.
Any other ideas from all you crafty people out there? Please post and share.
