Magnetic Cork Mini Planters

I have a huge collection of corks. People always seem to want to collect and save things to give to me so that I can turn them into something new. For the past couple of years I have been trying to decide what to do with them  aside from storing them in empty plastic pickle jugs.  So, this is what I decided to try!

You will need an Exacto knife or sharp tool to carve the cork from the top. Mini magnets and hot glue are also needed.  Once you have a good depth for the cork  adhere your magnets and allow the hot glue to dry.  Use small plants that need little water (air plants or succulents or cacti  will work best) and insert them into your cork. Fill with dirt as needed to help secure the plant.
