If you are a wine lover like we are, you probably have plenty of corks around, and there are lots of creative ways to display them. Here, I used a wreath ring to hold the corks in place and glued them to make a cork wreath! The rings are available at Jo-Ann Fabrics, and probably also at Michaels craft stores in the wreath section.
There is an outer and inner ring allowing the tension to hold the corks in place. It took some time to fit them all in without warping the whole ring, so I suggest having a large pile of corks available and adding and re-arranging them until you have a nice shape.
To hold everything in place, I used a hot glue gun, running the glue along the entire outer edge, then along the inner edge, ensuring glue was holding each cork to the metal ring.
To hang, here on the back side of our fireplace we have two screws drilled into the brick. This can be done with a mortar bit and a power screwdriver. We have the screws there to hang seasonal decor, but it will now hold my all season rustic cork wreath!
Note also, the large "M" is from Jo-Anns, it is a cardboard material and I simply glued a piece of thread to either side and hung it on the screws before finishing it off with the wreath.
