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.

Step 2. Punch a hole in the cork with the head of a screwdriver.

Step 3. Take the paring knife and wiggle it around, carving out a hole into your cork.

Carving tip – Your hole should go about halfway down the cork.
