Instructions

    Pretty knobs are all over the place these days. I found mine at Anthropologie, but there are also some great options at Target and World Market. After you've gathered your supplies, use a small hacksaw to cut off about half of the screw attached to the knob.

    Next, drill a shallow hole in the center of the wine cork. It’s really important to try to drill straight down. I have found that the craft store corks aren’t as sturdy as real wine corks, but they are better for a project like this because they fit wine bottles better. When I tried using a real wine cork, a) it took so long to drill the hole and actually get the knob in and b) the cork expanded so it would no longer fit in any regular sized wine bottles.
