Steps to making your own wine cork bath mat:
1.
Corks are very difficult to cut.
Place the boiled corks on a wood cutting board over a non-slip surface.
Be very careful when handling the hot corks and when cutting.
Hold the cork firmly in place and cut in half lengthwise.
Put aside and let dry fully before moving on to next step.
Continue until you have enough cut corks for your bath mat.
Prepare your nonslip bath mat base.
Cut the nonslip liner to a size slightly bigger than your finished bath mat.
Place it overtop of wax paper.
Positioning the wine corks.
Once the corks are fully dry, begin to place them over your nonslip liner.
Align the corks in a row by size.
Adhering the wine corks.
Hold firmly in place for 5-10 seconds before moving on to next cork.
Take your time to ensure each cork is adhering well.
After 24 hours of cure time.
double check that all the corks are secure.
If not, remove or lift up loose corks and apply more glue.
Repeat step 4 for each loose cork.
