    I use corks as "crocks" in the bottom of plant pots- good for drainage. Also when used in very large pots is a light alternative to real crock if they have to be moved about.

    Hi skintchick,

    There's an earlier thread with some good suggestions that may help so I've added your thread to it to keep the ideas together.

    What about sticking some magnets in them and using them on the fridge to hold things.

    I bought some already made up from amazon like that on sale of course and with vouchers :D

    Speaking as a trainee teacher, schools and nurseries are often happy to take things like left over corks off your hands! We use them for craft, junk modelling and in water trays for floating/sinking lessons!

    I used to work in a restaurant and they used them in a barrel for a large umbrella stand, looked pretty good!! Did see some people nicking some of them once, never understood why!!!
    I love surprises!
