ImageMason jars, please make room on the DIY couch of fame for this humble bark. A material applauded for its buoyancy, cork is obviously best known for stoppering bottles the world over - but there’s so much more to an ingenious slice of Quercus suber and so many more ways for it to be used around the home. Here are just three.
1. Cork bathmat
If you’re looking for a stylish and functional floor protector for the bathroom, look no further! As easy on the feet as the thickest of towels, a cork bathmat readily absorbs moisture and doesn’t require regular cleaning. If you’re handy with a glue gun and ready to kiss goodbye those endless hours mopping the bathroom floor, try this step-by-step tutorial for crafting your own.
2. Cork coasters
These put flimsy old wooden surface-protectors to shame and are about the simplest thing to make, even the most wary DIYer won’t be out of breath. Personalise your coasters with painted motifs or initials and make sure to apply some kind of sealant or lacquer to keep them as impermeable as possible. You can also try for level two - textured cork coasters.
3. Cork mouse pad
As laptops slowly replace family computers, the market for mousepads is steadily decreasing - so there’s never been a better time for throwing together something quick, easy and effective - they’re basically just large coasters! Make sure all of your friends appreciate just how quirky and thrifty you can be when it comes to computer accessories! Learn how to make one here.
