Years ago my husband made me a cork trivet he had made for Christmas. I used it to hang my necklaces and bracelets on. I had grown my collection and moved a couple of times, and in my current closet, needed more space for my necklaces.
I decided on using champagne corks to organize my necklaces. I was inspired by this pin by Andrews Reclaimed. The knobs on the wood reminded me of corks, and there you go! My idea was born! Champagne corks have a natural, built-in "stopper" at the end which will keep my necklaces from falling off. I save these corks from the "bubbles" I have tried or have had at restaurants.
I tried multiple methods for attaching the cork to my wall. I tried a two-way tape, 3-M strips, and hot glue. For me, the hot glue was the clear winner. It was easy to apply and stuck the best. I used the hot glue sticks, but if you are concerned about tearing the drywall, or removing paint, I'd use the cold glue sticks or 3-M strips.

I heated the glue gun. I measured and marked where I wanted the corks to go on my wall. I applied glue to the flat end of the cork and stuck it to the mark on the wall. I held it in place for a few seconds, then moved on to the next one. I did seven corks in all. The corks were ready instantly so I hung my necklaces!

Great minds think alike with the cork recycling eh Terri?! They are such a lovely shape aren't they? I'm glad I'm not the only cork collector :-D
ReplyDeleteThis is a clever idea, and as neither the cork or the necklace is very heavy it's good to know that hot glue will do the trick.
