Make Your Own Wine Stopper Tacks

If you’ve got a pile of wine stopper hidden away, pull them out and make your own wine stopper tacks.

Supplies: 
·oak wine stopper
·drill
·glue
·thumbtacks
·hand saw (optional)

Instructions:

1. First decide how you want your stoppers to look. You can drill the holes in any side or end of the stoppers. You can also cut the stoppers down or in half. This is done best with a small hand saw or knife.

2. Choose a drill bit that is close to the size of your thumbtack and start drilling. You only want to drill deep enough for the head of your thumbtack to slide into the stopper. Try comparing the length of the tack, to the length of your bit & see where to stop. Slightly rotating the drill bit in circles will help remove the stopper pieces & increase the hole in size for a better fit, if needed. You might want to practice on a stopper to get a feel for drilling.

3. Place small amount of glue in the hole & then push in thumbtack. Let dry 24 hours. OK, let's it. Personalized wine stopper!
