When I found this beautiful Pineapple Wine Cage, I wanted to kick myself for throwing away all my used wine corks.

That didn’t stop me from wanting to get this awesome piece.  I guess I’ll just have to start from scratch.

Maybe if I’d known about all of these cool things that I could’ve done with my old corks, I wouldn’t have been so quick to throw them away.

So, to save you the trouble, I’ve compiled this list of reasons to keep your old wine corks.

Here’s a the Top 10 Reasons Why You Need to Keep Your Wine Corks

10. They make great pin cushions.  You can even spruce them up with a little paint if you’re the creative type.

9. They make great wood flooring scratch protectors.  Chop off a disc and place it underneath the legs of your chairs or sofas to prevent scratches in your beautiful hardwood floors.

8. They make great craft projects.  Visit Wine Cork Project Instructions for ideas.

7. They make great earring back replacements.  If you’ve lost the back to an earring, just carve out a small piece of cork and you’re all set!

6. They make great door stoppers.  Tired of getting dents in your walls from the doorknob – attach a cork to the bottom of door to keep it from crashing the next time it opens.

5. They are great for keeping your potted plants soil moist.  Chop them into tiny pieces and mix into your soil.

4. Get paid to recyle wine corks by the pound.  Visit Yemm & Hart.
