12 Upcycled Wine Cork Creations

You might think twice about tossing out your wine corks after you've seen all of these upcycled wine cork creations. Wine corks aren't the worst thing to throw in a landfill, but there's just so much more you can do with the quorky (get it?) bottle stopper than chuck it in the trash. Wine corks can be remade into a variety of items, including bathmats and toys.

The best part about all of these upcycled cork creations is that the majority of them are functional items. Pieces of art are all well and good, but you can't get nearly as much out of them as you can a set of coasters, a bowl or a chair. Vino lovers, think before you trash your corks!
