Well folks, I can happily say that I have completed my second DIY! Remember last week when I talked about my need for new fridge magnets? I actually did something about it!
I’ve been collecting wine corks for some time now because I have my mind set on one day making cork artwork for my kitchen. I don’t have enough to do it just yet, but my little cork centerpiece is totally full and I had some extra champagne corks just sitting around in a bag waiting for me to be crafty.
So I tried to be.
First, I started by slicing six champagne corks in half.
Then, using an exatact-o knife, I carved a little divot in the center of each cork for a magnet. I did this because I wanted the finished product to lay flush with the fridge, rather than have a space in between the cork and the fridge because of the bulky magnet.
Then, I hot glued a magnet to each cork.
And there she blows!
Cute, right? I’m pretty sure John thought I was going insane for doing this craft, but even he admitted that they are super cute in person. And it only took me like 10 minutes, and the $2 it cost to buy the magnets. Success!
Here’s what my fridge currently looks like:
See that picture with all the hearts? That’s my absolute favorite drawing of all time. My niece Emma drew it before the wedding, and it shows me in my wedding gown and John in his tux. Adorable right? I’m pretty sure I’m framing it, so it’s stay on the fridge is limited.
Hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday!!
So cute and a terrific idea!
That picture is adorbs!
Thank you so much! The picture IS quite the masterpiece.
Love this idea! I’m in desperate need of some new magnets, so I’ll have to give this a try. Looks so easy….
Totally! And since you’re pretty crafty to begin with, I bet you’ll be able to have the whole project done in 2 minutes flat!
This is such a great project! I have TONS of corks laying around and I’m wondering when I have the time to do this for myself.
Great DIY!
Thank you so much!
Awesome job! The kiddo’s drawings are super cute too. I’d definitely frame the wedding one
Adorable idea! And way more chic than my Elvis shaped, “What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas” magnet.
So cute Ashley! Once I get my centerpiece filled and have some extra corks lying around I’m going to have to do this!
And you say you’re not very crafty…
So cute, and so funny, because I did this same project this week! I wish I had more champagne corks because I like them the best, I only used 1 and the rest were wine corks. Please stop by and check mine out!

You did such a great job! I actually love the wine corks you used. I would have used some of them, but I prefer the wine corks and decided to save them for a different project!
