We've recycled corks around here forever now doing that. We glue them all together on a plain board in whatever pattern we choose. They tend to look more I don't know "authentic" I suppose if there isn't a frame around them...that way they show off the natural side alot better. They are nice and sturdy and you pretty much never have to worry about buying or even making a replacement once you do it. Green AND practical...gotta love it!

I sliced my corks into coin type pieces and sewed them together to make coasters and trivets. I love the bulletin board idea!

Just superglued them to the backing in the frame alternating the corks in a pattern. It looks great. Made push pins to match with champagne corks. Just drilled out a hole and glued thumbtacks into them. Took lots of wine drinking but we prevailed. I made the greatest looking bulletin board from a vintage frame.

I replace pot shards with whole corks. You can transfer a root-bound pot directly to the ground and leave the corks in place. About recycling... Check out our Web site at www.recorkamerica.com.

The ones that don't have holes in them, we use to cork our own homemade wine...and the ones that do have holes, we'll be cutting into smaller pieces and either gluing or sewing them together to make coasters. =) My mom is on vacation in Italy right now and has been saving me all of her wine corks!

I also combine them in tall vases and use as centerpieces. I've also seen them used as wreaves, but haven't tried making them myself.
