PB Copy ~ I’m A Corker!

My grandmother used to tell me that.  I’d usually say something that would crack her up and she’d tell me “You’re a corker”!  In this case, I really am.  I saw this picture recently while looking for something for a client.

How fitting, especially since I just got a whole bunch of corks from one of my sassy bloggy friends!    Look at that jar on the sideboard that they crammed full of corks.  I had an apothecary jar that the lid broke and it was just sitting on the side waiting for something.   I stuffed it full of corks and am using it in my much smaller wine area {compared to the PB display} in the dining room.

 

And guess what?  I still had plenty of corks left over!  So I decided to try the middle piece of artwork over the mirror.  I like that it is not cork overkill and I have supplies on hand that will work for this. 

I originally thought {from the larger picture} that fabric was on the background, but it just looks like cardstock or paper.  So I pulled out a piece of ivory cardstock that I had picked up at Joann’s {when they had a 2-fer sale going on} and used that as my background.

 

I got these high-end black plastic frames {5x7} from the dollar store, which is the only thing I had to purchase.  I wanted something with depth, but not a shadowbox.  I removed the glass since I wouldn’t need it.

I picked out some corks that I liked and hot glued them to my background.

I had some blank tags and used some number rub-ons I had.  I used regular craft glue to adhere them to the background. 

Here’s the finished project.

I think it makes for a cute little display in an area where you store or serve wine!

Funny thing is, I looked for these at PB online and I don’t think they’re for sale!
