Wine Cork Trivet Instructions

Wine cork trivets are a classic use of extra wine corks. You don't need very many to make a trivet, and they are both practical and lovely. You put together a simple wooden frame, set against a thin backing. Remember that corks are typically 3/4" wide by 1 1/2 - 2" long - so make the inside of the trivet in multiples of those numbers. 12" x 12" works well, for example.

Now just glue the corks in place, in a cross pattern. When the corks have dried, put small fabric dots on the four corners of the trivet, to help protect your table against scratches.

You can makes these trivets for yourself, or for others as gifts!
