Wine Cork Letters

Quite a while ago I "pinned" a project that used left over wine corks to make a monogram.

One of the many  "pins" I hadn't gotten around to yet.

Today Sis and I went on a little shopping trip.

Really, what shopping trip is complete without a stop at HobbyLobby?

Anyhoo... in addition to the "needs" on my list, I found this "G".

It's like cardboard or something lightweight like that.

And the price was right ~ $2.47

Time to create.

So...

 I took a bunch of these~

I seem to have quite a few for some reason :)

Not sayin why...

Notice the jar in the background?

Yeah, I have a few of those....

We'll just say I didn't have to buy any.

But I'm told you can if you need to.

I laid the letter on it's back and proceeded to fit the corks together like a puzzle.

It didn't look quite right to me.

So I checked out Pinterest again.

But my "pin" and all the rest I looked at had the cork "butts" showing.

You know what I mean?

If not , check the top picture , you'll get it.

Anyhoo.... that's not what I wanted.

I like the graphics on my corks and wanted them to show.

Sometimes it's just the name of the wine , or the vineyard, but sometimes it's more.

So ...

 after wasting a bunch of time looking for a tutorial on how to make a Wine Cork Letter and not finding what I was looking for , I decided to wing it !

I wing it a lot !

Now , if you have a letter with straight lines , like a L or M, it wouldn't be too hard.

I have a G and I wasn't sure how to make the curves look good.

Every women wants her curves to look good :)

Anyhoo (again)....

I winged it.

Here we are half way through...

Finished G !

I know , some of the cardboard base shows,

but I like the pattern and the graphics show.

And when it's in it's new home on my shelf, you can't see it.

See ?

Oh, I forgot about THAT container of corks...

Hmmm.....

I LIKE IT !

How about you ?

The one at the top that I "pinned", I traced it back to an etsy shop.

The price ?

$65 .

My price ?

Approximately $2.50.

Now remember, I didn't have to buy corks:)

So the letter ($2.47 + tax) and a little hot glue !

Good enough for this girl!
