When you save wine corks for years you tend to create quite the collection. I’ve been collecting for so long that I’ve been able to give away the corks to fellow crafters for DIY projects and to wine bars to use as decorations. If you’re like me and tend to hold onto wine corks thinking you could use them for SOMETHING one day, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Now what the heck do I do with them?!” It’s not rocket science, but wine corks make great, simple stamps.
I’ve been working on some of my printing skills this fall thanks to a favorite new book of mine, Stamp Stencil Print by designer Anna Joyce. As I sat down with the book one night I looked over at the big vase my wine corks are housed in and knew I wanted to print with them just as they were. No carved designs, just a simple circular shape that has just enough quirky character when your favorite paint color is added to them.
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it was time for my dining room table to get an autumn makeover. I picked up some harvest-colored paint colors to use on this stamping project. You can stamp plain placemats you find at the store, but it’s just as easy to make them yourself. Here’s how I made mine.
