I have some of those Portuguese trivets, too, from when I lived there. I just take a soapy (dish detergent) dishcloth and scrub the cork. Works for me. Good luck!

I like the Chrstmas Wreath too:

How about a Mobile.
Napkin rings - Drill a hole in the center, thread pretty ribbon through and tie.
Wreath - I found this fun idea for a wreath at Strat's Place. You just need corks and a hot glue gun. check out this picture of the final product.
Stamps - Carve the ends into letters or shapes and stamp in ink, paint, wax....
Placecard holder- Slice about a quarter of the length off to make a straight base. Cut a slit in the top and insert the placecard.
Earing back - Rip off a tiny bit and viola!
These people used corks to cover the wall around their bar! It is amazing! Pic 1 and Pic 2. I have also heard of people useing them for backsplashes (coated in polyurithane) and as borders around a mirror.
Cork Table Top - Use corks to cover the top of a small side (or you could do a coffee sized one too) table. Determine pattern (I alway like the two corks horizontal, two corks vertical pattern myself) Glue with hot gun and top with a piece of glass. Great solution for one of those stained tables you bought at a garage sale and just never got around to refinishing.
I saw a French chef on PBS use corks as pour spouts in bottles of vinegar and olive oil. He just used an old cork, cut a small wedge out (lengthwise) and inserted inside the bottle opening. Works great-no more worrying about dumping to much out.
Slice into discs and use to even out uneven chair legs or under glass table tops to keep them from sliding and getting scratched.

Put them in a blender and use them for cat litter, or add it to potting soil, or let your reptile burrow thru it, or mix it with epoxy spread it in a pie pan and let it harden into something to put something on top of in your pond...

i had a question about walmart products?
K.B. answered:
Walmart certainly will be cheap if they have the items but remember, you get what you pay for. The employees probably won't know much about the supplies, or crafting. Also, if you have a problem, it's better to have purchased at a craft store. Michael's & JoAnn's have coupons almost every week in newspapers, where you can get 40% or 50% off of one item. And they have sales ALL THE TIME, so you can get a good price.
You might call your Wallmart, speak with the associate in that department, and see if you can FAX your list???

I struggled to finger a pot to chafe/cook herbs in to booze as a tea (recommended by a Chinese acupuncturist) until I develop this crystal pot on-get hold of. It fits the neb being non-metallic, and allows you to see how energetic of a pustule you be undergoing wealthy and how much the limpid is reducing without metrical lifting the lid. (We throw out the lid a spot to the side and set it on top of the pot to support more of a mofette debut.) It works pure luckily for the intended practicality and cleans up smoothly and fashionably. Indubitably, you do stress to command it more carefully than a metal pot; in what way, other than that, it is a flagrant pot at a reputable reward! The cork trivet is a amicable addendum as far.
