wine cork pens
January 28, 2011 § 43 Comments
Have I had too much wine, you ask? In fact not. By heredity, I have been cursed with the Asian affliction of poor alcohol metabolism. It is a factual genetic mutation and you can read about it on Wikipedia here and on Wise Geek here, if you want an explanation on why most of your Asian colleagues were flushed red in the face from a sip of wine during the office holiday party last month. For that reason, I’m no big wine drinker at all, despite what the evidence says in the above picture or in my craft room (a never-ending stash of wine corks).
I loved this project because it took no more than five minutes to complete and I got to use my drill. Yes, it’s as simple as that. Carefully drill through the center of your wine corks (better if you have a drill press), and slip over a pen. But please — no drinking and drilling.
These look pretty cool – I might try this!
Thanks, Juliet! Try it out, it’s super easy! 🙂
Great idea! Love your pics!!
Thanks, Melanie! 😀
LOVE this idea! My sister’s hubby is a bartender and I was “gifted” a huge bag of corks. I had some projects lined up and will definitely add this to the list. Found your site via Dollar Store Crafts blog and I’m adding it to my feeds.
Hi Jill,
Happy to hear you found my blog through Dollar Store Crafts. 😀 Sounds like you have a lot of wine cork crafting in the future! Enjoy! Lucky that you scored a huge bag of corks with no trouble(I had to ask the liquor store if I could scavenge through their pile and in the end, they let me take it all. LOL).
Super idée !
Anne
Bonjour Anne,
Merci! J’ai vu ton blog et je vais le lire pour pratiquer mon Francais. 🙂

We have, shall we say, an abundance, of wine corks at our house. Most wine cork recycling projects look kinda shabby to me, but I really like this one! I might make them for Valentine’s Day gifts.
What a great idea. I am thinking that this idea could be used for grips on my crochet hooks. Have to give it a try.
Interesting re-use of material!

So cute! A couple of these seem like a perfect gift for wine-obsessed friend.
I love this project so much! I featured it in my roundup of wine cork projects here: http://www.thecraftyscientist.com/2011/09/fun-with-corks-supply-related-roundup.html. Feel free to stop by and grab a featured button if you want! : )

I thought I came up with a new idea,….but you’ve proven that all the good ideas have already been thought of. 😉 I’ll keep tinkering in obscurity.
love the look of your pens. I am going to make them for all my wine loving family and friends. Thanks!

Those are really neat! Now I’ve got to find some wine corks…
