I am a wine lover, and I drink a fair amount of red wine. Over the years, I have accumulated quite a collection of wine corks while always assuming that “someday” I will make something with them. Every time I empty a wine bottle, I save a cork. Needless to say, that lead to a stash of wine corks.
20 Creative Wine Cork Crafts Projects and Ideas
I have several decorative bowls (pictured) where I keep my wine corks. A year ago, I gave my niece several gallon-sized zippered plastic bags stuffed full of my wine corks. Annnnnd I still have several more gallon-sized bags of leftover corks!
After our last trip to Italy, I have even more wine to drink (hey, someone’s gotta do it!) and even more wine corks to use. I figured it was time for me to get busy looking for some crafts to make with all these wine corks – either that or stop saving the corks (I do not think I am mentally able to do that!) Putting together this list of different ways to use up wine corks was very informative, and lead me to make some awesome DIY projects..

What can I do with leftover wine corks?

Are wine corks worth anything?
Worth is in the eye of the beholder. When we go to Italy, we took tour lot of vineyards. On one such tour we were given a breakdown of the cost of the bottle, which was very informative. The cost of natural corks was (approximately) one dollar US – for each and every wine cork! If I could sell my collection back to a vineyard, I would have a lot more money to spend on … wine. Alas, this is not to be. You could gather your wine cork collection and put it up for auction. The going rate is about 10 cents per cork.
Can you compost wine corks?
What if you do not want to make anything with your leftover wine corks? Well, if you have a natural wine cork, you can compost them as the cork is a natural product (made with natural materials). That is why they make great garden markers, as you can just crumble wine cork garden markers and release them into the soil.
