  • How to make a recycled coaster. Wine Cork Mat - Step 1
    Step 1

    You'll need a circular placemat of some kind

    It doesn't have to be a placemat; but it helps if it's made of wicker

    Step 3

    Cut the corks with tube cutters (it's a lot easier than with scissors or a knife)

    You can cut them in half, but I cut them in shorter lengths so my mat wouldn't be too high

    Glue around and around and around

    It's hard to fit some of them in...You'll have to squeeze them in there! I had to rearrange some, putting some slightly bigger ones here and slightly smaller ones there. I also had to carve out some of their sides to fit them in

    It was tedious

    If you used a wicker mat, go around with a lighter and singe the edges out of view
