DIY Cork Wine Charms with Evite and Cavit

A special thanks to Evite and Cavit for sponsoring this post and sharing the idea! #EviteParty

wine charms

Adria and I are always looking for unexpected uses of everyday items.  Adria likes loves to drink wine (yep, I said it) and has an entire crate of wine corks and so we LOVE to find use for corks in our parties and decor.  (Remember how we made the DIY Fireworks 4th of July backdrop with corks!?)

Our friends at Evite shared this amazing tutorial for making wine glass charms out of corks and we just had to share.  I think the idea is brilliant and so versatile for any theme.

Follow these instructions to make your own in no time! (Use your leftover corks from your Cavit wine!)
