Put a cork in it...



When I saw this idea
on Artful panoply

I knew I wanted to make one
with my own twist

I glued a 15/16 in
washer on each end


I had sm washers
on hand that fit right in the hole
You can use any size with a
smaller hole


I then glues a nut
on top of it


then screwed the eye hook
I put a small part of glue
on the screw portion
in to the cork


I did the same on both end


I took left over
beads and charms
and made danglies


added a ring
and it was complete


A few of the ones I made:




















Butterfly




Dragonfly







These would make great
gifts

    I think these are just so cool, Jo! I'm sure you'll be selling them at your 1st. Friday booth? I am trying to get things done around home- 3 days away made for a lot of neglect! LOL

    Love this project! I have 2 large containers of corks that I bought at a yard sale. Some of the corks are very unique. This is the perfect project to use them on. Thanks for the tutorial!! I've already pinned it:)

    These are just to cute. Love the way you placed the washers and finished it off. I have so many winecorks (that sounds bad, huh). Anyway Just dropping in from Becolorful to check out your keychains and to invite you to Freedom Fridays. So hoping to see you there!
