Wine Cork Decor


A picture in the September issue of Better Homes & Gardens caught my eye.  That will  be quick, easy  an uncomplicated  for the Copycat Challenge, I thought, except  that I don’t own a dark gold tablecloth or have a navy blue wall.



Never mind.  Improvise.


 Variation #1


 Variation #2


Better Homes & Gardens

It’s all about having fun!

Until next time, Honey

Hoping you will join us for Potpourri Friday!

    I love this idea! I have seen a few of these kinds of things on Pinterest too. Wouldn't they look fabulous at a wine & cheese party!

    Best wishes,
    Natasha.

    I really like this look. I save wine corks and this would be great at one of my wine tasting parties! Good job! I like variation #2 best.

    The same photo caught my eye! I scurried to Home goods, bought a vessel and filled it up for my last Dinner party! A big hit!

    Hi Honey...

    What a great idea...I love it! I think your variation is just perfect and would make a lovely table centerpiece...or in a vignette! Both tablecloths are beautiful but the dark blue really take my eye. I don't you just love wine corks? I actually used them in a bit of my autumn decor this year. Thanks for sharing this lovely cork/candle centerpiece with us!

    Warmest wishes,
    Chari

    Love this idea, I tried it last year with acorns but that is pretty seasonal. The corks would last all year! Awesome.

    This is a very cute project, too bad we're not really wine drinkers and only have a few corks.

    SO cute! I have a tall cloche filled with wine corks. They look so pretty in glass don't they? Candles make it even better!
