mlteenie Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Like Mrs mlteenie and myself, I am sure many of you partake of 'medication' of an evening to ease the day's troubles. All well and good but do you also have a drawer full of corks (particularly the plasty uns) and don't like to chuck 'em in the bin? Surely there is a use for them beyond the Aussie fly-repelling hat? It's beaten me thus far so let's hear it from the creative EDFers! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/882-what-a-corker/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladygooner Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I have made a cork notice board with some of mine. Buy a notice board then stick the corks onto the board with some glue. Works a treat!

Asset Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Well blow me! I could knock out a few of them for one of the shops - Karavan, maybe? Cheers! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/882-what-a-corker/#findComment-21858 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Ladygooner, Where did you get the board for the corks? I have tried looking for old frames and stuff but they are usually too ugly or have sides that are too deep for the corks to stand out from. Also, do you cut the corks in half first?

Ladygooner Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nero - you buy a normal cork noticeboard with a wooden frame which has flat cork on it and then stick the wine corks on - no need to cut in half although I suppose you could if you wanted? I suppose I could post a picture of it on here if you wanted?

Townleygreen Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I bought a caterpault in Tenerife - I use the plastic corks as ammo to scare off the pesky grey squirrels from my garden. One day I hope to hit the b*stard... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/882-what-a-corker/#findComment-22453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
