Save your old wine corks to create a distinctive ceiling.
When ordinary room décor and architecture aren't enough, and you crave something distinctive and artistic, consider decorating with wine bottle corks. You'll need patience and dedication, as well as a large supply of corks if you want to fill the entire ceiling with these tiny objects. The results will surely prove memorable for anyone who visits the space.
Instructions
1. Start with a smooth ceiling. Remove any popcorn or other uneven texture by scraping it off down to the drywall beneath if necessary. Clean the smooth ceiling by removing any dust or debris, which could prevent the glue from properly sticking.
2. Plan the layout of your ceiling decoration make from cork. Glue the cork horizontally, on its side, or standing straight up, vertically. Fill every inch of the ceiling or create a pattern or shape with the cork on sections of the ceiling for varying texture.
3. Prepare for the cork installation. Fill a bucket that hooks to your ladder with corks for easy access. Charge your glue gun and keep it in a tool belt so you'll have a place to put it when necessary.
4. Start on the side corner of the ceiling and apply a layer of glue to a single cork. Press it into place in the corner. Repeat the process, working your way out from the corner and moving the ladder as necessary. Continue the process until the area of the ceiling is covered.
