Have you ever wanted to do something with all those champagne corks you've saved over the years? Or are you looking for an excuse to indulge in a bottle of Prosecco? I thought this would be a cute project after finding inspiration on Pinterest. I've been looking for a unique place to put plants in my kitchen, however I don't have a lot of extra space. These cork magnets stick to anything metal and brighten up the room in the most adorable way, allowing even the most cramped of spaces the chance to be "spruced up". Just follow these easy steps:
 |
| First, hollow out the inside of a champagne cork with an electric drill. |
 |
| Using any strong glue... |
 |
| ...attach a magnet to the top of the cork |
Depending what you are "planting" in your cork, the next step will vary. If using dried flowers or an an air plant, it is best to pin the item into the cork using a couple staples. If using a baby succulent, a couple pinches of soil and gravel do the trick. If using a fresh flower, stuff with damp moss before fastening the flower.
After completing this project I think
Air Plants would be a great option for these cork magnets. They come in different colors, and only need to be sprayed once a week. The Air plant is a lot hardier than succulents and flowers resulting in a more durable magnet. They can even be glued into the cork without harming it.
These magnets inspire happiness and they make a great gift for a friend.
