The corks are made of natural natural material - the cork layer of cork oak. The power of nature helps to preserve not only the taste and aroma of wines, but also to remove static electricity from the legs, which causes spasms of blood vessels during seizures.
Very comfortable mat of cork from bottles in the bathroom, toilet and in the hall near the high chair, where you take off your shoes when you get home. Tired legs rest for a few minutes, if you ride the soles of your feet with wine cork.
How to make a carpet of cork?
To make such a rug, you need to cut 175 plugs in half and glue with Moment glue or with a hot gun to an old kitchen tablecloth or to any water repellent material. To make the corks better adhered and were the same in height, the sections are cleaned with coarse sandpaper. Cutting the cork with a knife through the entire height is not always possible.
Work begins with laying out 1 row around the entire perimeter of the rectangle drawn on the fabric. Then gradually fill the whole space. Rows on the width of the rug will be equal if the cork is tightly pressed to the previous row by a ruler. The length of the plugs is not the same, so you will sometimes have to trim the ends to fill the entire space, especially at the end. Pieces should not be thrown away, they will be useful for other crafts made of cork. Finish work on creating an original home healer by covering a ready-made mat of corks with a board and putting a load on it. The glue spreads more evenly and clings firmly to the base of the rug.
Quickly to collect a rug from stoppers it is possible by means of a fishing line. The technology is very simple: to pierce a thick stopper with a needle, to tie knots at the ends of the nodule so that they do not move along the line. Collect as much as one thread from 5 to 10 plugs. Want to make a rug dense - string the cork tightly one to the other, you want a delicate - leave between them a gap of about half the cork. Thread the plugs on the board, fasten the ends of the line to small studs and sew across the plugs. At the big desire it is possible to make rugs with any drawing, down to pictures.
Rug from plastic caps and covers
Of course, not all of them can gather the necessary quantity of wine stoppers for rugs, but there are always plenty of beverage caps. In summer we all drink a lot of different drinks at home, in nature, during the holidays. Covers for bottles of different colors, but the main thing is their dignity - they are equal in height and strong enough, are not afraid of moisture and temperature drops. So that they do not
Make them like this:
Make a color scheme of the desired drawing on a sheet from a school notebook in a box with colored pencils. Place the lids in hot water in colors. Warm lids are easily pierced with an awl. Puncture each cover in six places according to the scheme. Then, using a fishing line, the mat is assembled according to the scheme, connecting several covers together into one element of the pattern.
This work is similar to the technique of cross-stitching not only for execution, but also for the fascination, practical use of the results of labor. Beautiful, bright products will decorate the house, and not clog the nature and streets of cities.
