Don't toss those wine corks after opening a bottle—repurpose them into a chic, custom trivet.
This simple DIY project uses just corks and strong glue to craft a functional, eye-catching pot stand for your kitchen.

1. Arrange three corks standing vertically side by side.
2. Secure them with strong glue.
3. Repeat until you form a circle large enough to support a saucepan.
4. Once the glue dries, your trivet is ready to use.
5. For a polished finish, wrap a ribbon around it and tie a neat knot.
Your handmade trivet is complete—unique, beautiful, and completely free!
Expect to use at least 40 whole corks, or halve them if you have around 20. Collect extras from local restaurants or friends' gatherings.
