I thought I would try a different kind of keyfob, I saw these on youtube and had to try them. Wine cork keyfobs. I found wine charms,grapes.barrels ,glasses etc and they were perfect for my project. So I ended up with 24 and ordered 100 more corks . All my supplies were found on ebay, the corks. wine charms.eye screws ,split rings and small washers I put on each end just for looks. There are a lot of these for sale on Etsy at crazy prices, some are charging between 6 and 10 dollars for 1. I'll make my own for far less

I love the ideas for using corks. Yours are great.
We have been saving them for ever it seems. My DH does the cork work and I did the designs (Emblib). He has made corkboards for our grandkids.
Sorry the picture is sideways.

Saw a Message board and some pictures where corks were also used. I glued some 2 corks to back of patio furniture backs to prevent damage to wall.Works great.

I borrowed the idea from youtube after I saw how much they were selling them for, I never buy it if I can make it myself

the charms were a perfect touch and some of the fobs I added beads for a small pop of color

Too bad I hadn't seen this a few weeks ago. I was at a garage sale and they had a big box of corks for $2!

They were fun to make and something a bit different, I dabble in all kinds of crafting not just machine embroidery. I think most of us do

Oh, how cute!
I made a cork tray by gluing corks into the inside bottom of an unfinished wood tray for my son and daughter-in-law from the wine corks from their wedding 13 years ago. I'd have thrown a couple of these in had I known about it back then. :)

I saw another idea of a grape cluster made of corks too. I may try that with an fsl or applique leaf
