Pop those wine corks...and create a wine cork trivet kit. Our wine cork kits are one of our most popular products, since half the fun is in the making! The wine cork trivet in maple protects surfaces from hot pots while displaying corks from your favorite wines. We supply the hardwood frame and…
I had read mixed reviews on this but am pleased with it. You need to first place your corks to find the best arrangement and fit. I started with the arrangement shown on the box and it didn't fit well. So I used an alternative concept and it came out great. The sandpaper included is useful for rubbing down small pieces of cork - don't expect it to do more. Only took me about an hour to do from opening the box to having all of the corks glued in.

I am enjoying putting the corks together for the trivet. In addition, it allows for recycling, so, it is a green idea.

The only thing I didn't like is that the corks didn't all fit in perfectly. I had to cut a whole row in order for it to be all filled in. Other then that I like it.

These are great products, the trivets as well as the boards. It has become a hobby for me and my husband; he designs and I glue. We started giving the trivets away as gifts; made a corkboard for our office and a corkboard for our niece in college. We are ready to complete two more trivets and will do our first server. GREAT IDEA for corks.

Corks set-in too deep

Best Uses

Trivet is very nice. Looks good. Would only make one change to it and that is to not have it so deep. The corks set too deep inside the trivet so if you set a hot pan on the trivet it will likely rest on the wood frame (not the corks) and therefore will burn the frame.

What fun it was to assemble with our collected corks. It would make a great gift for wine lovers. It is well constructed and attractive. It makes a great keepsake of favorite wines.

I bought them to give to neighbors and friends next holiday season. Some I will just give corks to and others I will assemble for them-that is to guarantee they will have a finished product. My husband gave me the tray for Christmas and I just love it and receive many compliments. Of course, we may need some level of rehab after we supply all of the necessary corks.

Although it took some time to lay it out, it was well worth it. Now I am able to display those treasured memories of bottles drank over anniversaries, special trips, quiet nights in, girls night. I ordered 2 and can't wait to be able to do the second one.

It's hard to find a trivet to put a hot pan on that does not crack, break or melt. This fit the bill. I wish it was made in cherry for my daughter. She purchased 2 somewhere else and they are not as deep or fit the corks as well. Yours is the best I have seen.
