I used an old frame that we had laying around and had my Dad (again my Dad tends to help with basically all of my projects) put plywood behind it. I used my glue pan to glue all the corks in place. A glue gun would have taken too long and too much glue (so thanks Tesa for the pan!!) I also placed the corks on the board where I wanted them before glueing them down so I knew they would fit together they way I wanted them too. I'll keep you all posted with this project-it may take some time. I started saving corks in December and still cant get 1/4 of the board full!

cork board part 1
I am obsessed with wine corks and always have been. I have been saving them for awhile now and thinking of different projects to do with them.

So I decided on a cork board. I'm planning on hanging it in my kitchen and using it as a bulletin board for bills and such. Due to my great job, I have been able to receive much much more corks than I would if it were up to me drinking the wine. So here it looks so far:
