1. DIY Recycled Wine Cork Necklace

Watch the step by step video :

Materials:
- 1 Cork.
- 1 Large bead.
- Black nail polish.
- Pencil.
- Satin necklace thread.
- I used my electric drill to make a small hole, but you can use something else at you disposal.
- Gold relief outliner.

Instructions:
1 - Start by cutting the sides of the cork, making a rectangular shape.
2 - Using the black nail polish paint the entire surface of the cork and let it dry.
3 - With the relief outliner draw the arrow shapes.
4 - Because my bead was not black I painted it while the relief outliner was drying.
5 - When everything is completely dry, make the whole where the string will pass.
6 - Pass one end of the thread trough the hole you just made and both ends trough the bead.

2. DIY Easy Wine Cork Monogram Earrings

TUTORIAL:

1. Grasp cork horizontally with binder clip. This gives you a way to grip it while keeping your fingers out of harms way. Slice a segments of cork with the utility knife about ¼ inch thick.

2. Paint the cut cork segments the desired color and let dry.

3. Stamp letters or other designs onto the painted cork in a contrasting color. You can dry this with a heat tool or let air dry.

4. Seal with Mod Podge Matte. Gloss or satin would be fine too, I just prefer the matte look for this project.

5. Twist the eye screw into place at the top center of the cork slice.

6. Use pliers to open earring finding loop, attach to eye screw and close with pliers. You could also use a jumpring to attach the finding to the screw loop.
