Crafts and decor of wine stoppers from 75 photo ideas

The story of the cork is closely linked to the grape alcohol. When people learned to make wine, the problem of storage stood in front of them. Capacity in which the alcoholic beverage was dispensed, had something to clog. First, in the course were planed pieces of wood. Of course the shape of the neck of the vessels, they are not repeated with millimeter precision, and therefore the wine spoiled quickly. However, it was noticed that the sealed plugging drink is not only longer retains its taste, but also to improve them over time. From ordinary wood abandoned in favor of a more soft. It was planed and easier to adjust to the desired size. However, when wet because of the swollen "cover" burst necks of jars and bottles. Steel tube seal resin.

Much later, they began to be made from oak bark. conical form was considered to be optimal at the time. This plug was easy to adjust to various sizes and uncork the bottle necks was quite easy. Only with the invention of its corkscrew shape was cylindrical. Itself began to drive the stopper into the neck to the edge that provides excellent sealing. It is still produced by cortical oak, although began to appear cheaper plastic counterparts. The decor of the stoppers from wine can look stylish and expensive. From this, in fact already useless things with his own hands made toys, key chains, coasters, frames, handles, decorated vases, chandeliers and jewelry boxes. Uses of slugging mass, try to understand their diversity and to consider the most popular workshops.

Key rings

Charms, perhaps the most simple that can be made from wine corks unnecessary. To get creative decoration instead housekeeper need more than five minutes. To work need:

• Anchor bolt with a loop;
• A metal ring;
• Bung.

In the middle of last methodically screwed bolt. Then, in a loop threaded ring. Generally keychain already prepared, but it is further possible to attach a still smaller on chain trinket, paste over the surface of the pieces of cloth, paint. In more complex embodiments, an anchor bolt for screwing to the stringing metal plates, beads or buttons.

Some masters are used instead of the safety pin of the bolt with the same loop at the end. This is not recommended, as it will fall off quickly and may even injure the owner of the key fob. Screwed bolt will sit in a traffic jam tightly.

Framework

From wine corks create original frameworks so that such a thing is not ashamed to present even as a present for a special holiday. To work needed:

• Cork from champagne or wine;
• Glue;
• Wooden or a plywood base.

The basis can cut your own or buy a cheap, unprepossessing frame, which in the future will not be a pity to close the mirror splendor. So, first you need to decide which side of the cork will "look" at the guests: the side of the cylindrical or round bottom. The second option is used less frequently. To create an original design of the frame and decorate it "almost honeycomb" plug would have cut into 4-5 pieces of the same height. If she lies sideways, then simply raspolovinit. Then, the base grease with glue and pressed against the plug. Their location does not have to be strictly horizontal or vertical. Use the combined variants, when part of the tubes is looking at one and the other part - to the other side. Original look embodiments, where the base material "weave pigtail", i.e. it is laid on the two diagonals, which are arranged at right angles to each other. Complement almost finished frame can be artificial grape brush, tiny bags with strings, or a tiny straw hat, dangling coquettishly on the corner. This hack will decorate the house and fits perfectly into the French Provence.

Especially colorful See the box in which the mirror of the "depressed" basis. To produce such beauty, have additional top stick thin wooden edging and a central part (s) under the picture. They need to be in front of the mirror background, as if with a 3D effect. This frame perfectly joins the interior of the kitchen and will look at the original wall.

Candlesticks

Candle manufacture of tubes in several ways. For the simplest of them only require a glass container and the base material. Plugs simply fill container half and the top set aroma candle in its own metal stand. This method for the "lazy" devoid of grace, so consider another master class:

• Take 6-7 caps and glue them on the round base;
• Pre-need to make measurements to accurately candle entered into the center of the composition;
• In addition to the mirror part is not falling apart, its neat tie satin ribbon with a coquettish bow.

Candlestick is further decorated with figures of animals, tiny balls, fir branches (if he will stand near a Christmas tree in the new year). Plugs can be dyed in the desired color.

toys

Of the mirrors create interesting toys. Technician performing a lot of work. To make a simple man, you can stick in certain areas of the tiny arms, legs and neck. In some cases, the limbs do not decorate, and left in its original form. Since artifact sometimes looks even better. In other embodiments, they can be wrapped with a cloth or wrap threads of different colors. To make a snake suit even the plastic plugs. Each of them will act as a separate part in the segmented body of the reptile. Are connected between them needles, chains and bolts.

To make a giraffe or a deer, you need to stock up on glue or all of the same needles / wire. One tube will be little body, to which are attached the other cut part that serve as legs. Another half will muzzle. To give a hand-made article resemblance to a giraffe need to add a wire neck. Some masters just draw funny faces on the basis of a cow, and then tied body, creating a body of the thread. To make a cork raft, simply glue a few gags to each other and insert into the middle of the sail to the mast-toothpick. The boat is made of a cork, cut in half. This toy boat rests perfectly on the water and steadfastly endure more than one storm in a teacup.

glamorous vases

Bungy vases are made in two basic ways:

• Adhesively bonded to a glass base material;
• Laboriously plug connected with each other without the frame.

Still it is possible to plant flowers in tiny "wells", made by a knife in the pliable material. Only a couple of plugs it is easy to organize a miniature garden. Paste material on a glass container may be in different ways at angles diagonally combining squares with horizontally and vertically spaced plugs. Each pre-cut tube half and the flat side is adhered to the glass substrate. May be completed with the song "slices", if this pattern will allow. The main thing is not to create gaps through which will shine through the foundation. Bonding tubes interconnected weaving process resembles wicker. I have to work long and very carefully, because these vases are usually "translucent" and crooked rows negatively affect the visual perception of the entire composition.

extravagant chandelier

The mirror chandelier looks cool and is non-trivial on the ceiling of a room of a hunting lodge or a country cottage. The principle of creating such a simple decor: numerous Tube strung on a carcass basis. In her role can act as a thread, fishing line, wire, metal rods. Often the only cork decorate the chandelier, but in some cases, inside each of them placed a tiny light bulb. Pre core such miniature plafonchika cut with a knife. On a frame the usual chandeliers bungy slender ranks are free to hang out, like crystal "icicles" in retro embodiments, or be stretched together with the filament (wire) basis, between the frame rings. Here, the course is only a fantasy craftswomen. Beams from the mirror-reed "twigs" creative decorate lampshades, which are used in the styles of cheering unusual shape.

Letters and words

Letters with a 3D effect is easy to make yourself. They can be made of small size with a palm or huge almost half the height of a man. Also, the alphabet can be static if it is fixed on the wall, or mobile. In the latter case, the letters will be attached to a portable basis. The recipe for this decor obscenely simple: stick cork round base to the wall, plywood or drywall. A useful decoration for celebrations, when you want to display the name of congratulations. In other cases, wooden alphabet to decorate the interior, decorated in a modern style. Additionally bukovki decorated with beads, pieces of cloth, beads, ribbons, leaves, flowers.

Earrings, necklaces, pendants

Earrings made of this material is made circular form. One plugs will last for two or three pairs jewelry. Paint the earring or decorate small accessories. Secure fasteners to tube via a needle with an eyelet or eyelet-drilled holes in them and they are threaded wire. The necklace is made on a "plug imagination." Stoppers it may be the base material, or only the decorative element. Connect them together by a fishing line. It is attached to the needle, which is passed through each piece of the future of the necklace. Nice look not "continuous" embodiments and ornaments with gaps between them stretch the tape strip or bead chain. Pendants decorate caps, placed in a metal frame, frame, decorated with beads, ribbons, figurines insects and metal rings.

Original look earrings with empty middle, into which threaded bead size. Also, in rare cases, the decoration gives a rectangular or square shape. Cork cut in the middle so that the earring was convex, has found relief.

Organizer for jewelry

Organizer for jewelry made from this material is fairly easy. Take a piece of the desired shape of plywood and glue it to the cork from wine bottles. Which party attachments - the question is individual. This impromptu stand placed in the frame. K-mirror-based attach studs or bolts. They are something and be hung earrings, necklaces, bracelets. This stand can be hung on a wall or priladit him a special holder on the back side, so he remained in an upright position on the table. Such as crafts, but smaller, can be hung in the hallway under the keys.

Stands for pens and pencils

Stand for office supplies are made in two ways:

• On the glass is glued cork. Stand is long enough;
• Plugs are attached to the circular / square base, giving it a vertical position.

Products made by both methods, original look. To supplement such a stand can be soft "carpet" of the holder tubes or sheets for under the records. It is created by a simple incision, which will be inserted into the paper. At the bottom of the cork necessarily abate, to give it stability.

Notice Board

Board for notes created on the same principle as a stand for jewelry. The only difference is that it is usually trying to give the original form: heart, tree, flower. Photos and leaflets, reminders attached to the board by means of conventional buttons. The original decision will be the foundation room in the old frame of a mirror.

Simple but luxurious look will board in the shape of a heart, painted with effect Ombre. decor bottom shaped in the dark shades and shades of gradually moving to the lighter. The color grading looks stylish and original.

Unique support for mobile phone

Stand for mobile make in two main ways:

• Glue tube together and form one "hillock" regular triangular shape. One of its sides is a support for the back of the phone cover. So that the machine is held in position at the bottom secured an additional plug, which protrudes slightly and disturbs the correct geometrical composition.
• Three plugs are fastened together. Their surface is cut by a deep notch phone. Around the middle of this "bedrock" glued three tubes, but in a horizontal position. The underside of the phone will go into the slot on the base. Rear wall, he will rely on the support of the mirror.

From this material can be made even luxurious "chair" for mobile phones. In addition, they are wrapped in velvet or leather, but these options will require a lot of time and effort.

Stand in the kitchen

From the tubes, glued together, make coasters hot, are used in the kitchen. Oak bark is a poor conductor of heat, so it will protect the sensitive surface of the table from heat "burns." It is impossible for these purposes to use plastic plugs. Under the influence of the temperature they melt and will stick tightly to the bottom of the hot pot, passing filled kitchen incommunicable burnt aroma plastic.

Christmas decorations

The main subject of the New Year's decorations in the apartment are Christmas trees. If the hall is set central pine tree, the other rooms may look lonely. Corks save the situation. They are glued in a chaotic mess on cardboard cone-base. Then decorate Christmas tree star-tip, a pair of beads and bead-miniature garland. The plug on the wire is inserted into a tiny spruce twigs. They were then placed in a bowl with cotton, rice, or other substance simulating snow. The whole fir alley in the bowl decorate the window sill. Green tree on the wall can be made of tubes and frame. They adhered to the solid base and placed in the correct frame, "Spruce" forms. Design decorated with garland and hang on the wall. If the cork bead on the line, some of them can produce surround a wreath on the door or wall. It is further decorated with ribbons, rain, tinsel, and shiny accessories. Cork reindeer and snowmen hang on the Christmas tree with balls and candle holders made from this material will create a New Year's Eve in an atmosphere of magic.

Mural Decoration

Picture of wine corks - grade art object, which in some cases referred to as high art. "Draw" is possible relief, different color material surfaces, a combination of these two options or colors. For example, on the background of oak "circles" glued "dark" tree of the entire traffic jams, congestion which simulate the barrel, and the single line - twigs. In a simpler embodiment of a similar background simply paint colors. To give the picture a special touch, it is not decorated with clean lines, and paint some bungy "segments" in the manner of a mosaic.

conclusion

From traffic jams can be made floats, heels on shoes, moisture-absorbing mats in the bathroom, dies, tags, napkin holders (cards with the names) and even handles dessert spoons or furniture. Dressing rooms of this versatile material requires only a bit of imagination and a minimum of additional parts. It is possible to move away from conventional recipes and come up with original decoration for himself.
