DIY Wine Cork Shadowbox Art and Crafts

Introducing, my DIY Wine Cork Shadowbox Art!  Have you ever made a DIY shadowbox?  Well, if you have you know there's something really fun about it, it takes you back to your childhood when you had to make a shadowbox project out of a shoe box.  Anything goes when you're making a shadowbox, I recommend using them to show off your prized collections, or in this case - the evidence of my love for wine.  I don't know about you, but I love to collect the corks of all the bottles I crack open, each one is unique - especially those with excessive wine stains and unique art/font.  I have another set of shadowboxes that I made long ago, they hold something much more special - my favorite European coins, ones that I collected during my trips through Europe.

So, how did I make these wine cork shadowboxes?  These are some simple dollar store shadowboxes with a glass front that I happened upon and decided to stuff with a few of the wine corks I've been storing hoarding.  I arranged the wine corks in different patterns and I decorated the edges of the frame with puffy paint for a little detail.  I dubbed them "Shadow Corks" and I've had them for years.  When I say anything goes I mean it, be creative and use anything and everything to put together a special window into what inspires you....

While I'm sharing DIY crafts, check out this broken $2 sterling silver dish I found at Goodwill!  I turned it into this little wall art masterpiece using some fringe, trim, a small mirror, a coin from my European travels, and a pearl and crystal pendant that I made from an old chandelier hanging at the bottom...

Here they are mounted together in one of my favorite gallery walls ever:

Last but not least, another little DIY craft: painted wooden electrical outlet covers.  I've painted many of these in the past, however they're installed all over my apartment, these two are more recent and the only ones I've photographed thus far:
