August Reuse & [Re]Think Contest: Corks

It's a gnome! It's a wreath! It's upcycled corks! This month's Reuse & [Re]Think Challenge will have you dream up your own super-version of corks. While millions of individual corks end up in landfills every year, why dispose of them when you can use this versatile material to make a useful coaster or beautiful decoration for your home? Not only that, cork can be a fun craft material for kids of any age!

Come on by, grab a bag of cork or a few from the bucket section, and flex your creative reuse skills by showing us how you would reimagine those old synthetic and natural corks!
