Ok gal pals, I’ve had my coffee(s) and am feeling sentimental. Time for a little DIY action. I love this idea, brought to you by Houzz via Pinterest, because let’s be honest…where else? It’s easy, meaningful and encourages drinking. What more could you ask for in a project?
What you will need:
-Three shadowbox frames. The deeper, the better. I got mine at Target, because again, where else?
-Old corks you have saved from special dates: anniversaries, your cat’s birthday etc.
-Hot glue gun.
-Gold paint pen, or color of your choice.
That’s it.

What to do:
Step 1: Center each cork on the white backing of the frame (you may have to saw off a portion of the cork to make it fit, depending on the depth of your frame. I used a serrated knife for mine) and hot glue it into place.
Step 2: Use the paint pen to write the date underneath the cork that corresponds with the special occasion you are trying to remember. Collective “Aww.” My third frame is still empty, which clearly means we need to start chugging, no?
Step 3: Put your frame back together and voila! Instant art. Please hold your applause, I know that was tough for a Wednesday morning.

I just ran across your blog on Bloglovin and had to follow after seeing all of your adorable posts! I'm kind of in love with this wine cork idea and can't wait to try it out. I have a drawer that is filled with wine corks, including the ones from our wedding and engagement. Can't wait to do this! Thanks for the awesome idea and I look forward to more of your adorable posts.
XO, Jaime
