I've been meaning to write this post for. ever. Also, I've just been meaning to write any new post for a while....
Ok, here goes!
If you've been to my house, you might have noticed my collection of corks. People are equally fascinated or weirded out by this collection.
If you're a Jew in Brookline, you might have given me a baggy full of your corks. (in which case, thank you!)

Here is the first project that I undertook with them. (with Josh peaking out from behind the wall...)
Many people have asked how to make this project. It's actually quite easy. The hardest parts were finding a mirror and collecting the corks. If you've got both of those, you're almost there.
Materials
Corks
Glue gun and glue
Mirror (I used one like this from IKEA that I had lying around, scraped off the tiles, and covered the remaining mess with corks - but it looks like they sell one without any tiles on it to begin with!)

Because I wanted to cover up the left over gunk (dried glue) from the tiles that I pealed off, I made a double layer of corks. This picture to the left shows the first row of the first layer. After I finished going all the way around with this row/layer, I did one more row above it, before making another layer on top.
Each step (row/layer) would have been enough, without me adding more. But I wanted a more full look.
If you're making one, you can experiment with round/square mirrors. Or try layering the corks differently.
