Full Disclosure- I did not drink all the wine bottles from the corks that you are about to see in this post! Well, maybe just a few.
I wanted to make something out of my wine corks for some time now
I mean, I have a lot of corks ( remember- I didn't drink all that wine!) and was looking for a way to creatively use them
I had not just one bucket, but two just sitting around waiting for a project
I had seen some great looking cork boards and chalk boards and thought perhaps I could do a combination of both on the same board
It wasn't easy though, because I had lots of cork that I needed to use
Click here for a tutorial on how to drink make this combination chalk/bulletin board. Cheers!

Beautiful Laura! I love how you created the frame around the chalkboard! ;)
It looks great! It gives the frame such fun character. :-)
i love it! and there is no shame in having that many corks- it's better than crushed beer cans! i have lots of corks, too.
Very cool Laura, it turned out great. :) I've made a few picture frames out of my huge stash of corks, but unlike you, I am guilty of drinking most of the wine that was once sealed by my corks, hee, hee.

Hi, I found you through the Uncommonly Yours link up party. I am saving corks too and hope to use them to fill in an empty section of the wall in our small wine closet. Thanks for sharing your idea! www.abakershouse.com
Such a great idea. I seem to be accumulating a few wine corks too ...
:)

I'm saving my corks so slowly I'm getting there! If only white wines didn't have so many screw tops now! I also need a good solution for champagne corks, any ideas? I'm coming back later for the tutorial.

Of course you didn't drink it all...... at least not by yourself!

I love this project! You are funny and I am lucky because I work two days a week in a wine store! I'm collecting corks for just such a project! Thanks for the inspiration and I'm happily following you via GFC.
That is so cute! Very fresh and different =) Nice job!!

Thanks! I ended up giving it to my nephew. Guess I will need to start drinking up again so I can make one for me!

Danni- thanks for following along!

Jessica- I actually put a few champagne corks on the board as fillers. The screw off tops remind me of cheap Boones Farm wine from back in the day ! Strawberry Fields- do you remember that stuff?

This is very cool. I love all the texture the cork adds to it!
Very pretty and innovative!
that's a lot of corks! i snag them from any family event, and i love using them in vases with other things. when i amass buckets, i'd like to make something, too. great inspiration!
This is a very clever idea -- I have done a few projects with corks, and I am saving this for future reference!
You sure you didn't drink all those bottles? ;) I love it, Laura!
Thanks for sharing at Simply Klassic!
Very cute! I also have a lot of wine corks that I want to use up creatively-thanks for the inspiration :)
Laura, What a great project! This would looks beautiful over our bar! I just might have found a use for all of MY wine corks.
Very inspirational!

Great idea! My sister collects corks so I'm looking for something fun to make with them as a gift for her. Thanks!
I just posted a tutorial last month on making simple wine cork place cards for my friend's wine themed wedding. What a great idea for the rest of their corks! Stop by my blog when you have a chance to check it out. Cheers, MGal watchmediy.com
I love this project! I will be featuring this tomorrow
