These cork planter fridge magnets make for a quick and easy DIY. They’re simple to make and only require wine corks, magnets, some soil and succulent clippings. For tools you will need a hot glue gun, a pairing knife and a screw driver. If you’ve been saving your wine corks for a special project then you will love these cork planters. If you are having a special bottle of wine be sure to set aside the cork and make a special memento from it in the form of a succulent cork planter!


Step 1. Assemble your corks and get out your pocket knife or kitchen paring knife. We recommend working over a box or newspaper to contain the cork carvings.
