What Would You Do With It? Wednesday: Wine Corks

Image
By

Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week we are featuring wine corks. I have a HUGE collection of corks from years ago when both Allan and I worked in the restaurant business. At one point, we talked about making our own cork board.  We also thought about stringing them to make curtains. The only thing we have actually used the corks for is printing:



Dane and I also printed this sweatshirt for our friend CA with corks.

Here are a few fun ideas I found on the web:




Isn't this little man adorable! I found him over at Crafters Love Crafts.

These boats look like they would be great to float! I found them over at Cool Mom Ideas.





Last week's challenge was to use pizza boxes. I'm still looking for some great ideas! Please feel free to stop back and link up at any time if you find some! 

For the full list of previously posted items and upcoming challenges, visit the What Would You Do With It? Wednesdays Page.

On to this week's link up! Corks- It's your turn!

Do you have a great idea or post that you can share using Wine Corks? If so, please join in linking up!

Here are the rules:

1) The post MUST use Corks

2) The post MUST be family friendly.

There are no other requirements. If you would like, I would love if you linked back to his linky party, but it is not required. I would hope that you will investigate the links shared and visit some of the other blogs, but I'm not imposing any "blog hop/linky" rules. Please, if you do find great ideas and photos... Give credit where credit is due :).

If you have been featured and feel inclined, my featured button is available to grab from the sidebar.

Next week, I will feature my favorite link up and I'll be posting about CDs/DVDs! Hopefully, I'll be on time!

Love the little boats! Wish we had water somewhere to float them in.
I use to make reindeer out of them when I was a kid. We don't have any on hand at our house right now, rats.

I've been collecting corks for a while, so I'm happy to see the artwork you made with them. I will definitely do that! I'll have to come back and see what else everyone is doing.

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

By
Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...

"The Markers Don't Work!"

By
How may times have you heard, "Ms. (fill your name in here), this marker doesn't work!" I know I hear it all the time. Sometimes it is because our little friends forget to replace the caps, and sometimes the markers have just been "all used up!" What do you do with all those markers that just don't work? Please don't tell me that you throw them out, try this instead: First, sort your markers out. Put the caps in one container ( save those too, I'll show you what you can do with them in tomorrow's post) and the markers in another. I have a box for the markers that "don't work" for the children to place them into every time they run across one. You can also have the children help you test the markers periodically to sort out the ones that need to be removed from the "working set." When it comes time to use "the markers that don't work," we use a small sponge paint roller to roll water onto our card...
