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!
