My grandmother used to tell me that. I’d usually say something that would crack her up and she’d tell me “You’re a corker”! In this case, I really am. I saw this picture recently while looking for something for a client.
How fitting, especially since I just got a whole bunch of corks from one of my sassy bloggy friends! Look at that jar on the sideboard that they crammed full of corks. I had an apothecary jar that the lid broke and it was just sitting on the side waiting for something. I stuffed it full of corks and am using it in my much smaller wine area {compared to the PB display} in the dining room.
And guess what? I still had plenty of corks left over! So I decided to try the middle piece of artwork over the mirror. I like that it is not cork overkill and I have supplies on hand that will work for this.
I originally thought {from the larger picture} that fabric was on the background, but it just looks like cardstock or paper. So I pulled out a piece of ivory cardstock that I had picked up at Joann’s {when they had a 2-fer sale going on} and used that as my background.
I got these high-end black plastic frames {5x7} from the dollar store, which is the only thing I had to purchase. I wanted something with depth, but not a shadowbox. I removed the glass since I wouldn’t need it.
I picked out some corks that I liked and hot glued them to my background.
I had some blank tags and used some number rub-ons I had. I used regular craft glue to adhere them to the background.
Here’s the finished project.
I think it makes for a cute little display in an area where you store or serve wine!

Funny thing is, I looked for these at PB online and I don’t think they’re for sale!
