Default Wine corks, many

I hate to wasted raw materials.
Ive been saving wine bottle corks for 10 years.

I have many wine corks.

Theyre unique as a raw material.
Do you know good alternative home use for them?

Slice them and make feet for a cutting board

Plugs for fermented citrus.

Stopper is a moonshine jug?

If you have a local online Buy & Sell -
FaceBook ; Kijiji ; CraigsList ..
You can advertise stuff "Free" and be pleasantly
surprised when an eager crafter shows up and
happily for both of you has a constructive use
for "stuff" like wine corks ..

I use a few of the clean ones at home as bumpers for my sliding, bypass windows; they fit perfectly in the rail. Give the rest to any crafty person who may want them. I've never tried it, but you may make a nice dart board using them.

My brother made a wall hanging from his.

It was sort of like that except he was into woodworking and it wasn't a
kit.
