Are you looking for crafts with corks?
Here are some great ideas- http://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=corks
Glue them to a piece of thin wood to make a bulletin board. You can cut the corks in half lengthwise andglue the flat side down on a thin piece of wood and make hot pads to keep those hot dishes off your table top. The curved top allows heat to escape. Slice them crosswise and attach to an even smaller piece of thin wood for coasters.
I just saw a cool side table. They used a large flower pot. Put a round board inside to fit a couple of inches from top. Then poured in the corks to just below rim. Topped it with a glass top.
You can upcycle a lampshade. Simply use e600 glue and place each cork on its side,in Rows... until the entire lamp shade is covered. You will be amazed at the rustic appeal your lampshade will be sporting. This type of lamp shade project is a perfect idea for your corks!
