Glitter Globes

As you have probably figured out, I’m somewhat of a pack rat. Around here, we save anything that looks like it could be useful later on. I found some cool projects for the corks and bottlecaps, that were taking over the kitchen. I’ve recently noticed our collection of glass jars getting a bit out of hand, though. As if she sensed my clutter problem, the fabulous Ellen of The Long Thread posted this awesome tutorial for turning a glass jar into a glitter globe! Reuse plus glitter equals crafty perfection in my book!

What great little gifts these would make! You could use adornments that are really meaningful for the person you’re gifting.

Crafty Reuse: Ten Projects for Old Wine Corks

If you’re anything like me, you tend to hoard things that look like they may be useful later: empty thread spools, glass jars, bottle caps, and those ubiquitous wine corks.

I’ve got a big bowl of corks in the kitchen that’s mocking me. They dare me to find a project to use them up. Well the joke’s on you, little corks! I didn’t just find one way to turn you into something new. I found ten.

Make your next party fancy with wine cork place card holders! Just cut a small slit into each cork and slide the place card right in. Bonus points if the place cards are made from reused material, too. Maybe discarded cereal boxes?
Glue slices of cork to the bottom of your flowerpots to keep them from scratching the floor or your deck and give any moisture a place to go!
You can slice the cork into rounds that would work wonderfully as beads for a necklace or bracelet!
