Top 5 ways to reuse wine corks

After that bottle of wine becomes empty, the bottle is often tossed in the garbage along with the wine cork. However, here are some creative ways to reuse those wine corks.
Moisure-retaining mulch
By simply taking your wine cork, chopping it up, and adding it to soil of your flower garden or vegetable garden, it makes an excellent moisture-retaining mulch
Clean or protect kitchen knives
A wine cork can be used safely and effectively to scrub high-carbon kitchen knives. You can even take three or four and place them along the sharp end of the blade and the corks protect the blade from being chipped, scratched or dull
Fire lighter
With the warm weather having made its arrival, it is barbecue and camping season. Those wine corks can soon come in very handy as a fire lighter. Soak the corks in rubbing alcohol for several hours, place them in a ziplock bag and take them with you on your camping trip or hold for your barbecue weekends. After soaking the cork in rubbing alcohol, you can use the cork to start the fire on your grill or that campfire you need.
Wine cork coasters
By gluing multiple wine corks together, carefully shaping them into the round or square shape you desire, these little corks turn into a great coaster for your drinks.
Memo Board Perhaps one of the most fun uses for old wine corks is to create a handy and decorative memo board. Make it as large or small as you desire, depending on how many wine corks you have of course, and begin using them to attach letters, memos, or notes.
Wine corks have been used for everything from hanging light fixtures, building wine cork animals for decorations, and more. So, before tossing that wine cork in the trash, perhaps you might just put it away and save it.
