Just curious if you worry about water and hair or just plain dirt collecting? »

Cynthia Taylor-Luce Aha! Well, go to your flooring retailer and buy some of the product they use for sealing cork floors. Then give your finished mat several coats of it, and reapply in the future every once in a while to keep the water and dirt from being absorbed into the cork. What creative people you two are! :)

Monica Ewing I would recommend NOT seal the wine cork mat. Please see this post: http://www.craftynest.com/2010/03/sealing-wine-corks-test/ That should answer your question. As for hair or dirt, use a vacuum attachment to vacuum it off every once in a while.

brimorri yep. same one as my bathroom, complete with the pink and maroon tile. 1950s. Shallow tub, lots in Los Angeles.

Monica Ewing That tub was in my old apartment, built in 1958. I'm sure it's original, because the owner took great pains to keep everything original.

Where can I buy these? Is there an instructional way to put these corks together or are they just glued? Thank you in advance! »

Becky Harris Hi, This is a DIY project:

Monica Ewing shows how to make a bathmat from shelf liner, hot glue, and 175 old wine corks on her Crafty Nest blog: http://www.craftynest.com/2010/03/wine-cork-bath-mat/

Monica Ewing Thanks, Becky. If you make one, don't let anyone try to convince you that you have to seal the corks. http://www.craftynest.com/2010/03/sealing-wine-corks-test/

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Put them to work. Get creative! For example, a collection of corks can become a bathmat.
Wine corks hold a wealth of possibilities after the bottle is long gone. Houzz user Monica Ewing repurposed hers into a crafty bath mat, and you can too by following her helpful tutorial.

Redemption: As I said earlier, no redemption for sins around the house is required. However, if you feel like you may need some after a greed/gluttony double whammy (dipping into too much of that wine collection), you can reverse the bad karma by turning the corks into an eco-friendly bath mat. Not that industrious? Drop them off at a ReCORK collection spot so that they can be repurposed as shoe soles. More:Small Ideas for Big ResultsAdding Color to Your Blank CanvasWine Cellars That Shine

Art. Everyone loved art class. The art teacher was usually eccentric and wore handmade jewelry. There was a group of kids who excelled at art; the things they made from scratch were just incredible. Notice this shower mat made from wine corks. I think I found one of those kids right here on Houzz.
