I’m guessing you’ve never thought of using wine corks as a kitchen backsplash before. I know! From the looks of it, it could be pretty hard to DIY! But with DecorationY nothing is far from hand.
First of all, you’ll need lots & lots of wine corks, a scroll saw 1 to 4-inch Plywood, Utility knife, Plastic outlet extenders, 1 quart of contact cement, Finishing nails, 3/4 cans of Clear spray sealant, and Clear caulk.
You’ll need to cut the corks vertically in half, like this:
Remove the outlet covers & cut holes for them on the plywood before setting it up. Now you’ll have to measure the wall, cut the plywood and place it. With the contact cement, adhere your corks to the plywood. You’ll start by applying a small amount of cement to a section of the plywood, let dry. Now adhere the wine corks to them also using contact cement. By pressing on as you apply the corks, that’ll activate the adhesive. Finally, let everything dry… Repeat the process for every plywood template till you finish your makeover.
