I love this idea! I was wondering if the E600 Glue would hold better. Just wondering what you opinion is. I love the cork rub and I will be making them in just a few days. :) Thank you for the wonderful idea!

Love, love, love this idea!! My sister loves wine, so I plan on making some trivets or coasters (maybe both) for her present next Christmas

plastic corks are becoming much more popular now, even w high quality wines, because the cork trees have some kind of infestation now. if a wine cork has this fungus/disease,whatever in it, it can cause the wine go bad in the bottle.

I’m considering making such a mat, but just as a cushion to stand on while working in my concrete-floored studio. I’ve been saving the corks and even received donations by mail! I’m also considering making it by drilling holes and stringing them on thick wire like the exterior door mats you see made from old tires and flip-flops. We’ll see…

Valerie J – Let me know if the fishing wire works. Interesting idea.

Great idea! I have collected wine corks and knew I didn’t need that many coasters or trivets. Rather than cutting and gluing the corks, have you thought about possibly stitching them together with nylon fishing line? Mind you, I have not done this, but it occurred to me while reading your instructions. I have seen other items with hot glued corks, and I knew it didn’t really hold on that long. Not sure how difficult it is to get a needle through cork, but I think I’ll give it a try…
