Crafts and Activities with Corks

cork projects
 

We have been saving our corks for years. I’ve always figured there must be something neat to do with them, but have never gotten around to using the corks for anything more than having the kids stamp circles with them. So I decided to search for some cork inspiration~ so many neat ideas out there!

Here is a roundup of my favorite things to do with corks, from activities with kids to crafts for home.  I hope you find something that inspires you!

    Popping over from the New Parenting Pinning Party! Great roundup of ideas, we have so many corks in our house! We actually used them as name place holders in our wedding! We have used them as stampers with my daughter but now we have many more ideas to try! Thanks!
