Easy
I have a lot of wine corks waiting for a new DIY project. A few minutes of thinking in the middle of my kitchen, and I knew what I had to do. I gave up the usual holders for my glass pan lids and used wine corks instead.
Now they look so lovely that I fell in love with the result of this DIY project developed with absolutely no cost at all!

This step is optional, but in case you take it, it has to be the first thing to do. If you decorate your knobs like I did, get a sharp thin marker and draw on the wine cork patterns like the one you see above or anything else at your choice.
Place the washer on the inner side of the lid, then screw the wood screw through the hole, to the other side.
Turn the cork upside down, and mark the center of it. Place the wood screw (with the lid attached) in the center and gently screw it until it stops drilling through the knob.
This is it! It's so easy you could change all the holders in minutes, isn't it?! Click on the link below to see more pictures of this pretty project that I've made with no cost at all.
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- Wine cork (reclaimed)
- Glass pan lid
- Wood screw 3/4 of the cork long
- Washer in the same size as the screw
- Varnish (to protect the cork from getting wet while cooking)
- Screwdriver
- Optional - thin marker

Cute decorations but cooking would ink print come off in steam from lid. Is the cork treated with a chemical that when heated becomes chemical mist and get absorbed into food. I like the idea have a few glass pan lids I’m using for a wall project the cork would go with kitchen grapes and wine decor

I used mine for years now, the ink stays on. I guess is the type of ink that matters. I used permanent markers for painting the corks, and it wears pretty well.
