Are you in need of both a new bathroom mat and a good excuse to drink a bottle (or a couple hundred bottles) of wine? Look no further than this great DIY invention from inhabitat.com.

At the end of the night, the wine is gone and the bottle can be thrown in the recycling, however the same question always remains: what to do with the cork? Here is a great way to save your corks from their trash-can fates and put them to use.

Absorbent, slip-resistant, and comfy on the toes, these corks can serve as a great bathmat and the project couldn’t be more simple. The only materials are a few hundred wine corks and a shadow box frame. The most work-intensive part of the process will be throwing a few house parties to collect enough corks! You can also ask around at local restaurants (or your wine-loving friends) to see if they have any collections you can take off their hands. Once you have your collection, it’ll take only a short matter of time to complete the project and start enjoying the feel of cork on your feet! Cheers!
