The second life of wine corks: ideas for useful applications in everyday life.

After the New Year's feast and not onlyusually there are always wine corks.

Most often they are treated like trash and just thrown away.

At the same time, few people think that wine corks can more useful in the household.

Due to their properties hold shape, poor heat conduction and easy to process, traffic jams are excellent material for creating useful home appliances.

Which ones? Consider below.

Furniture handles.

Wine corks can be used to make original handles on cabinet doors or dressers.

The fastening process is very simple. Insert a self-tapping screw through the hole in the cabinet door from the inside.

Then use a screwdriver to screw it into the corkattached to the other side of the door.

The result is unusual and at the same time budget pens.

Chair leg pads.

Legs of chairs and stools when moving them often leave scratching marks on the surface of the laminate.

To avoid this, you can make overlays on them from wine corks.

They are mounted on legs using silicone or any other strong glue.

Cover handle.

Wine cork has low thermal conductivity, therefore great for making a heat-resistant handle on the lid.

The plug just needs to be sized and inserted into the lid tab.

Candle.

To make a candle from a wine cork, you need her soak in 90% ethyl alcohol in a sealed container for at least a day (preferably longer), then dry.

Important! A wine cork soaked in alcohol immediately ignites over its entire surface. Be careful.

Instead of ethyl alcohol, you can use the inexpensive pharmaceutical drug Aseptolin.
