I've not done this for years, dear viewers, but I thought given I've got all this wood glue & I managed to blag these wine bottle corks from a wine bar I drink in, why the hell not?
As you will see, all or most of the corks stick perfectly together with this glue & I have enough to make a medium sized mat for a vase I have on my coffee table. No cutting or special tricks required, you just glue and join the corks together in the pattern you require.
I think I'll make another few of these - in different patterns so I can see what works best. Thank you to my cork supplier.
