I’ll tell you why; because you can do this really cool project. I have my Mother in-law to thank for them (thanks Keri)! She is an avid wine drinker and saved all of her corks for me to decorate with.

First, I found this huge wine glass at Michael’s craft store about a year ago for about 25 bucks. This jar has to be one of my favorites. You can do so much with it. I’ve used it for candy buffets and dips.

Second, if you are a wine-o, save your corks in a zip-lock bag until you have reached a desired amount. Or if you’re like me and have in-laws that LOVE their wine ask them to send them your way!

Lastly, I thought since I was putting this in my beach-themed kitchen, I had to find something to tie it all together.

So again my mother-in law being the coolest found this really cool metal starfish for me, that I used for this as well. I just love the color. It’s the color I’m using for my kitchen!

Put it all together and you get this really cool unique decoration using around the house stuff.  Combined with a previous craft idea, this makes for a great centerpiece.  This idea is to inspire you to find a cool jar and something cool to put in it, and see what you get. Use your imagination. I have gone to Goodwill and found some really pretty jars in great condition for just two bucks. Go to Michael’s and get some rocks & moss covered balls. The possibilities are endless and you don’t have to spend 100+ dollars decorating your home.

Enjoy & again as always please share…
