Design Within Reach is a home furnishings company. Every year, it holds a contest that invites artists to build chairs using only 2 champagne corks. The only materials that contributors may use are the wire frames, the metal wrappers, and, of course, the cork wood itself. The results are marvelously creative.

And if you can't afford the good stuff, try this.

I used my favorite wine cork chair example -- that from "The Fisher King" -- to introduce twisted wire trees and other shapes to my dd's 4th grade class. (Champagne cork chairs were a no-no for the young-uns, and drinking enough to save 28 corks would put me in jail!) What a hit that found objects -- in this case, a rock as a base, and some floral wire -- could be transformed into art, both kitschy and practical!
