Wine Cork Place Settings

A friend of mine asked me to make her some name place settings. I came up with this idea. It was super easy and quick. Here is what you need if you want to do these. They would be perfect for Thanksgiving place settings.


Card Stock Paper
Stamps, or stickers
Colored Pens
Wine Corks
Toothpicks
Hot Glue Gun and Glue
Sharp cutting tool (to make slits or marks in corks)

Cut your card stock paper in whatever shape you wish. I used some scrapbook scissors that I had. The blades are scalloped. Then I stamped the card, wrote the person's name, then hot glued the toothpicks to the back of the card. Allow for a few minutes of drying time. I then cut little slits in each of the corks so that it would be easier to push the toothpick through. After the sticks dried I then pushed them into the corks. Voila! If wanted you can also, forego the toothpicks all together and cut the slits in the corks deep enough to place the card directly into the slit.
